Franks Chosen for House Republican National Security Solutions Group
April 29, 2010 - Following today's announcement that Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) is among the Representatives chosen by House Republican Leader John Boehner (OH-08) for the newly-formed House Republican National Security Solutions Group, Franks released the following statement:
"The most fundamental responsibility of our government is to defend Americans from those who would seek to do them harm. The founding of our nation was predicated on the belief that we are beneficiaries of the God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I take the responsibility of defending those rights very seriously, which is why I am deeply honored to be selected as a member of the House Republican National Security Solutions Group.
"Unfortunately, the current Administration has enacted policies that embolden our enemies and alienate and endanger many of America’s most-cherished allies. The new National Security Solutions Group will be at the forefront of efforts in the House of Representatives to come up with better solutions to the most pressing security issues facing our nation, so that we might fulfill our sacred Constitutional duty of representing Americans and constantly keeping the defense of the American homeland as our top priority."
Congressman Franks is serving his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, and is a member of the Committee on Armed Services, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, Military Readiness Subcommittee, Committee on the Judiciary, Constitution Subcommittee, and is Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.
