MIKE TURNER:
I think what the Administration needs to do is come forward with a plan.
Right now, they have no coordinated plan. We have no stated goals and objectives.
The Administration has made inconsistent statements as to whether or not even they see ISIS as a threat to the West or the United States.
British Prime Minister Cameron has clearly stated ISIS is a threat to the West.

Washington, DC—Following reports that students throughout the country are losing their jobs and having their hours restricted because of an ObamaCare requirement, Congressman Michael Turner introduced the Student Job Protection Act.
ObamaCare requires certain employers to provide health insurance to employees working 30 hours or more a week or pay a tax.
This requirement imposes a financial burden on many colleges and universities, forcing them to restrict work hours for students seeking employment at their schools.
The Student Job Protection Act would exempt full-time students who are also employed by the college or university from this requirement.
Washington, D.C.—This week, in response to the escalating border crisis, Congressman Michael Turner (R-OH) partnered with Crime Subcommittee Chairman and former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), to introduce the UAC State Authority Act.
