Wilson Joins Anti-Terrorism Caucus

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) this week joined the newly formed Anti-Terrorism Caucus, a bipartisan group to educate Members of Congress about the threat of terrorism at home and abroad.

Vice Chair of the Republican Conference Kay Granger (R-TX), along with Representatives Sue Myrick (R-NC), Bud Cramer (D-AL), and Ben Chandler (D-KY), founded the Caucus to provide Members with current information regarding terrorist threats, their fundamentalist ideology, and the strategies and tactics they employ. The group is currently 68 members strong.

“If we are to protect our nation from future attacks, we must understand the mindset of those seeking our destruction. Members of Congress must make decisions everyday that impact the direction of our country. It is imperative we have current, practical, and accurate information.

“I commend Vice Chairwoman Granger for recognizing the need for a bipartisan, educational organization to keep Members informed and foster cooperation between parties on the most important issue of our day,” stated Wilson.

Caucus leaders plan to hold monthly meetings featuring terrorism and counter-terrorism experts who will brief Members on current and evolving terrorist threats in the United States and around the world.
