Myrick Launches National Security and Counter-Terrorism Agenda

                 (Washington, D.C.) – US Representative Sue Myrick (NC-09) today launched her “Wake Up America” 2.0 Agenda. This is an updated and expanded version of her “Wake Up America” Agenda introduced in 2008.

 “Wake Up America” 2.0 will build upon her national security and counter-terrorism work over the past several years. Through this agenda, Rep Myrick hopes to better define Congressional counter-terrorism priorities in order to better address the national security threats we face from self-proclaimed radical Islamists and jihadists. 

 
The updated agenda is comprised of the following five areas of interest:
           
Wake Up America 2.0 Agenda
 
1.      Domestic Counter Terrorism
2.      Countering Radical Islamist Financing
3.      Countering Radical Islamist “Lawfare”
4.      Education to Help Counter Radical Islamists
5.      Strategic Assets Abroad
 
In-depth information on the agenda can be found at here.
 
In 2008, Rep. Myrick founded the House Anti-Terrorism Caucus in order to educate Members of Congress about these threats. She also sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
