Lee Fisher on Homeland Security

 


Let anyone serve who is willing; end don't-ask-don't-tell

On Don't ask, don't tell, Portman says it should be up to the military to decide whether to repeal the policy on gays in the military. Fisher said if someone is willing to serve and risk their lives, Americans should thank them regardless of their religion, race or sexual orientation.

If you serve your country, your country must serve you

I believe that if you serve your country, your country must serve you. That's the promise our country must keep to the men and women who enlist, who fight, and sacrifice for our great nation. I believe the federal government has a moral obligation to live up to its commitments to the men and women who serve in our military. That is why I will be a staunch advocate for these brave men and women in the U.S. Senate.

Opposes banning homosexuals in the military.

Fisher opposes the CC survey question on banning homosexuals in the military

The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Enforcing the 1993 law banning homosexuals in the military"
