Tragedy
in
Orlando
This
weekend,
we
unfortunately
were
faced
once
again
with
what
happens
when
someone
is
overwhelmed
by
hate.
The
atrocity
in
Orlando
has
left
Florida
and
our
nation
in
shock,
and
I
know
that
over
the
next
few
days
we
will
come
together
and
show
the
world
that
America
stands
as
one
against
terror
and
those
who
would
do
us
harm.
I
extend
my
deepest
sympathies
to
the
families
of
those
killed
and
injured;
while
you
are
facing
unimaginable
pain
today,
we
all
stand
ready
to
lift
you
up.
ISIS
and
Islamic
terror
groups
and
fighters
around
the
globe-
their
senseless
acts,
driven
by
their
misguided
and
heartless
belief
in
a
bloody,
global
jihad,
will
not
defeat
us.
They
are
only
strengthening
our
resolve,
sturdying
our
footing,
and
sealing
their
own
fate.
Gitmo
This
past
Tuesday,
President
Obama
threatened
to
veto
the
defense
bill
currently
being
debated
in
the
Senate
–
a
bill
that
includes
a
provision
to
ensure
the
Obama
administration
cannot
transfer
prisoners
from
Guantanamo
Bay
to
the
United
States.
Since
then,
we
have
learned
that
12
detainees
released from
Guantanamo
Bay
returned
to
terror,
and
were
responsible
for
attacks
on
and
the
deaths
of
Americans
in
Afghanistan.
The
fact
these
former
detainees
returned
to
the
fight
truly
shows
the
danger
of
rushing
to
close
the
Guantanamo
Bay
Facility,
and
it
is
why
I
support
the
banning
of
ALL
detainee
transfers
from
Guantanamo
Bay.

Opportunity
for
All
The
best
way
to
help
our
fellow
Americans
is
to
give
them
the
tools
to
help
themselves.
My
Opportunity
Agenda
is
based
on
helping
low-income
and
middle
class
Americans
find
the
opportunities
they
are
looking
for
to
take
care
of
their
families
and
build
a
stronger
future.
The
foundation
of
my
agenda
is
based
on
education,
job
skills
and
(private)
community
investment.
It
is
my
belief
that
if
we
give
people
the
chance
to
get
a
good
education
or
learn
a
job
skill,
we
can
change
not
only
their
lives,
but
build
a
brighter
future
for
our
whole
nation.

my
Opportunity
Agenda here.
Sincerely,
Tim
