The Center for American Progress Action Fund, The Center for American Progress’ sister organization, released a report today detailing a progressive strategy for increasing American national security and decreasing the threat of terrorism.

• Restore U.S. military readiness
• Go on the offensive against the real enemy in the right way
• Secure nuclear materials and facilities vulnerable to terrorist groups
• Bring terrorists to justice
• Win the battle of ideas
• Resolve conflicts that fuel terrorist groups
• Support realistic political reform and economic development
• Protect Americans at home
• Reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil
