I've had this underlying need to go to a place and meet people who are on the other end of the portion of my tax money that goes to fund the U.S. and other militaries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am going to get involved with giving back to military families.
I want people to get involved and to connect with veterans.
I work on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees to keep us safe at home and strong in the world.
While our nation faces many challenges that must be met regarding homeland security and our military readiness, it is imperative that we live within our means and wisely spend taxpayer dollars.
I'm very interested in charities. I help a lot of different charities.
I have members of my family who are in the military. I have friends who are in the military. Classmates who served in the military.
But I tell you, I would really be interested if there was a partner we could take in, that could put them over here on the side, that would allow us full leverage and access down the road.
I try to do as much as I can for the military.
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them.
