FreedomWorks to Congress: Syria Amendment Should Stand Alone

While Congress debates on the McKeon Amendment to authorize the arming of Syrian rebels, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe released the following statement in opposition:

“It’s completely inappropriate to lump arming Syrian rebels and the basic functions of our government into the same temporary spending bill. This Syria amendment could be a precursor to military action in the Middle East, and it should be debated and voted on separately. I think most people would agree, the decision is a little more serious than funding things like the National Park Service.”

FreedomWorks aims to educate, build, and mobilize the largest network of activists advocating the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty and the rule of law.
