Rep. Tony Gonzales Issues Statement on House Foreign Aid Package

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today, Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) issued the following statement regarding the foreign aid package pending final passage in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"America is the leading global superpower-when we act, the world watches. After the September 11, 2001, attacks-I served in Iraq and Afghanistan to combat the rise in global terrorism that threatened America and our allies. Years later, threats against our homeland have escalated once again, and our allies are engaged in conflicts with nations that despise America and what we stand for. If we fail to support our allies, China, Russia, and Iran will only become more powerful. Today, I voted in support of bringing foreign aid legislation to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for a vote. We are a beacon of freedom and a friend to nations around the world who have stood by our side-we do not let our allies bleed out on the battlefield," said Congressman Tony Gonzales.
