The President’s decision to punish law-abiding Americans is nothing more than an ongoing diversion tactic used to draw attention away from his inability to keep Americans safe from terror attacks. On his watch, there have been seven major Islamic terror strikes on U.S. soil in the last seven years. Instead of continuing to double down on his own failed policies, the President should be focused on implementing a comprehensive strategy to defeat radical Islamic terrorism – one that doesn’t involve stripping law abiding citizens of their Constitutional rights.</div> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-field-congress-issues"> <span class="views-label views-label-field-congress-issues">Issues: </span> <div class="field-content"><div class="textformatter-list"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/issues/2nd-amendment">Second Amendment</a></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-2 views-row-even"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <h3 class="field-content"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/fincher-introduces-bill-to-stop-radicalization-of-inmates-in-federal">Fincher Introduces Bill to Stop Radicalization of Inmates in Federal Prisons</a></h3> </div> <span class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">Dec 18, 2015</span> </span> <span class="views-field views-field-field-congress-article-type"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases">Press Release </a></span> </span> <div class="views-field views-field-body"> <div class="field-content">WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Stephen Fincher (TN-08) released the following statement after introducing the Prevent Terrorism from Entering our Prisons Act (H.R. 4285), legislation that would strengthen the background check process for volunteers entering Federal prisons and require the Bureau of Prisons to conduct a comprehensive study on the spread of radicalization in prisons:</div> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-field-congress-issues"> <span class="views-label views-label-field-congress-issues">Issues: </span> <div class="field-content"><div class="textformatter-list"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/issues/defense-and-national-security">Defense, National Security, Veterans, Foreign Affairs</a></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <h3 class="field-content"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/victory-for-american-job-creators-fincher-ex-im-bill-sent-to-president-s">Victory for American Job Creators, Fincher Ex-Im Bill Sent to President’s desk</a></h3> </div> <span class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">Dec 4, 2015</span> </span> <span class="views-field views-field-field-congress-article-type"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/web/20160316235911/http://fincher.house.gov/media-center/press-releases">Press Release </a></span> </span> <div class="views-field views-field-body"> <div class="field-content">WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Stephen Fincher (TN-08) released the following statement after the United States Senate passed his bill to reform and reauthorize the Export Import Bank of the United States.

His bill will allow the Bank to continue supporting American exports and thousands of jobs across the country.
