Martha Roby Releases Fourth Priority in Roadmap for Alabama

(MONTGOMERY, AL) – Today Martha Roby released the final conservative priority in her Roadmap for Alabama, detailing her plan to maintain America’s strength, both at home and abroad.

The Roadmap for Alabama consists of four conservative priorities the campaign has released over the past two weeks. The plan lays out Roby’s vision for conservative change in Washington that will make our economy, military, and families stronger.

“America is the most powerful nation in the world, both in terms of our economy and our military, and also our values and freedoms,” said Martha Roby, Republican candidate for Alabama’s Second Congressional District. “As President Reagan said, America is the shining city on a hill, an example for millions across the globe. However, today there are a variety of threats to our position of strength – threats to our economy, to our national security, and to our values.”

“We must be constantly vigilant against threats that weaken America,” said Roby. “Our military must be equipped and trained so we don’t lose our edge. We must innovate and grow our economy. We must work to stop the deterioration of the traditional family and our culture.”

Among the solutions Roby proposes are maintaining defense spending at 4% of GDP for the foreseeable future to make sure our war-fighters are trained and equipped to keep us safe, deploying missile defense to protect us from rogue nations, and fighting against the deterioration of our families and our culture.

Previously the campaign released the first three priorities of Martha Roby’s Roadmap for Alabama: “Unleash American ingenuity to grow the economy, create jobs, and get our country back on track,” “A Smaller, Leaner, More Limited Government,” and “Washington Is Broken, Let’s Fix It.”

Martha Roby’s Roadmap for Alabama

Priority Four: A Stronger America, Both At Home and Abroad.

Our economy is the envy of the world. Our military makes us the world’s only superpower. Our culture and values are emulated by millions across the world. We must constantly strive to keep it this way.  From economic stagnation to Islamic terrorism there are many threats to our place in the world. We must constantly be vigilant and adapt to maintain our position of strength. Our military must be equipped and trained so we don’t lose our edge. We must innovate and grow our economy. We must be concerned with the deterioration of the traditional family and our culture.

There’s a better way to maintain America’s strength:

  1. Maintain strong, well-funded, well-trained and well-equipped armed forces to take on threats abroad.
  2. Protect traditional values at home.

Action Plan for the Future:

In Congress Martha will work to strengthen our future by making sure America maintains its edge both overseas and at home:

  • Maintain defense spending at least 4% of GDP for the foreseeable future
  • Ensure our troops have the tools and training they need to win the war on terror
  • Deploy missile defense to protect us and our allies from rogue nuclear nations
  • Give our veterans the care and treatment they deserve for their sacrifice to our nation
  • Defend our traditional values from activist courts and liberal interest groups
