Friends, we find ourselves in a time of critical importance as our brave servicemen and women have been called upon to protect our nation and its interests abroad. On this Christmas Day, the United States forces reportedly launched a strike against ISIS targets in Nigeria, a development which prompts us to reflect on our core values and responsibilities as a nation.
We do not seek conflict, but we do not shy away from it either. We honor the sacrifices of our servicemen and women, and stand unwavering in our support for them. Our campaign is, and will continue to be, committed to a robust national security strategy. Yet, it is also our belief that the sanctity of religious observances — be it Christmas, Eid, Diwali, or any other sacred day — should be upheld.
Upholding Our National Security
The news of this operation reminds us of the ongoing fight against global terrorism. It's a fight that is far from over and one that requires our continued vigilance. Our campaign will continue to prioritize strong national security measures, building on the efforts of the previous administration. But we also recognize the necessity of a comprehensive strategy that leverages both our strengths and those of our international partners.
Respecting Our Shared Values
However, even as we reassert our commitment to national security, we must not lose sight of our shared values. The respect for all religious observances is a cornerstone of our democratic society. It is a testament to our diversity and tolerance. Even in times of conflict, we must strive to uphold these values.
Towards a Comprehensive Global Strategy
Our campaign advocates for a balanced approach to national security. An approach that takes into account our immediate security needs as well as our long-term interests. This includes a comprehensive global strategy against terrorism, that integrates military action, diplomacy, development, and the rule of law.
Join Us in Our Mission
It is imperative that we, as a nation, remain unyielding in our pursuit of peace, but equally unyielding in our resolve to protect our nation and its citizens. This is a task that cannot be accomplished by any single individual or administration. It requires the collective effort of all Americans.
Together, we can ensure a strong and secure America that respects and upholds the shared values of our diverse society. We invite you to join us in this mission. Stand with us, contribute to our campaign, and let's work together to build a safer, stronger, and more inclusive America.
