ADDITIONAL STEPS TO FIGHT TERRORISM
1787 will do whatever it takes to protect the United States of America against 21st century threats, and we will do so with a strategy that honors our nation’s values and ideals. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
The U.S. Intelligence community is incredible. The players are not perfect – no organization made up of humans is – but our intelligence community is filled with committed patriots who sacrifice so much of themselves to keep this country safe. We all owe each and every member of these organizations an enormous debt of gratitude. In that spirit, we must increase our commitment to superior intelligence collection, information sharing and surveillance. A seamless process of gathering, analyzing and sharing intelligence is critical to our national security. We must strengthen our analytic capabilities, and our agencies must be highly cooperative in sharing valuable information. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
In our fight against global terrorism, we must continue to actively pursue and destroy terrorist cells before they have the opportunity to attack. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
It is imperative that we actively combat the threat of nuclear, biological and chemical weapon attacks by proliferation, rogue nations and terrorist organizations. SEE THE WMD PLAN HERE. SEE THE BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PLAN HERE.
Cyber-attacks, cyber-terrorism and cyber-espionage pose an increasingly significant risk to the U.S. This threat is more ominous now that we have become increasingly reliant on technology, and information technology and physical infrastructure have become so interconnected. The United States must have a comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy that thoroughly protects everything from our infrastructure to our intelligence databases. SEE THE PLAN HERE.
The U.S. must take a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to securing our borders. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
The U.S. must make smart decisions about protecting our physical infrastructure. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
Just as important, we must strengthen our public health infrastructure. We must be certain that our public health system has the wherewithal to cope with the physical and psychological (emotional, behavioral and cognitive) consequences of a conventional, biological, chemical or radiological attack on the United States. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
For decades, the United States has allowed terrorist organizations to negatively frame America for the Muslim world. We must reframe this highly damaging, globally destructive narrative immediately. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
Although most terrorist activity is not an existential threat, attacks can be extremely disruptive, can kill American citizens in small numbers and can take a tremendous physical and psychological toll on our society. Therefore, the most important thing we as citizens can do is continue to strengthen our resilience. Bad things will happen on occasion and, as a society, we need to have the capacity to quickly absorb the event, recover from it and move forward. Although terrorists do not have the power to eliminate the United States, they do possess the capacity to fundamentally change who we are as a nation if we are not careful. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
It is imperative that we create public registries of the real owners of companies and/or trusts in order to bring transparency to the complex world of global finance. SEE THE ENTIRE PLAN HERE.
