He does not abandon us, he does not leave us alone, for he has united himself definitively to our earth, and his love constantly impels us to find new ways forward.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince its creation in 1963, United States Southern Command has been led by 30 senior officers representing all four of the armed forces. None has undertaken his leadership responsibilities with the cultural sensitivity and creativity demonstrated by Admiral Jim Stavridis during his tenure in command. Breaking with tradition, Admiral Stavridis discarded the customary military model as he organized the Southern Command Headquarters. In its place he created an organization designed not to subdue adversaries, but instead to build durable and enduring partnerships with friends. His observation that it is the business of Southern Command to launch "ideas not missiles" into the command's area of responsibility gained strategic resonance throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America, and at the highest levels in Washington, DC.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the last session of Congress, Republicans unsuccessfully attempted for two years to get the Water and Power Subcommittee to come to Fresno to hear firsthand from the communities that have endured the devastating financial, social and environmental damage done by the government's decision to deny this region well over 200 billion gallons of water in order to indulge the pet causes of the environmental Left. A little over a year ago, Republicans held an informal listening session, at which time we heard riveting testimony of the human suffering caused by this misguided policy. We heard stories of food lines in communities that once prided themselves on supplying American grocery shelves. We heard about the frustration of seeing the same produce once grown in the Central Valley of California instead imported from China, handed out at those Central Valley food lines.
