Methamphetamine is a highly dangerous drug that is wreaking havoc on families and communities throughout this country. The drug's use is spreading across the United States.

Congress must take responsibility for a new positive direction - an innovative agenda that will lead to a more secure America. Secure communities, secure economies, and a secure quality of life.

Our ability to effectively engage China and the Arab world rests on shared economic and political interests and mutual understanding.

Now more than ever, America needs an agenda for real change.
