Sam Brownback: “It's my hope we can move this process on forward, and in doing that, target this.”

We have to get more focus on this by a broader cross-section, or we will not be effective in this.

I look forward to working with people, working with you, working with everybody, regardless of their ideas or views, on how we can advance the agenda of religious freedom.

Promotion of international religious freedom is in our national interest, and it directly supports national security priorities including the defeat of ISIS and other violent extremist groups.

Religious freedom is a fundamental right of every human no matter where they live, who they are, or what they believe.
