Congressman Ami Bera, M.D. made the following statement on President Obama's ISIS speech:

"One of my most important responsibilities as a member of Congress is to make sure that we keep Americans safe here at home and protect our interests abroad. There is no doubt that ISIS is a serious threat that has shown no regard for human life, and the President laid out clear objectives to protect America and American interests in his speech tonight. However, many important questions still remain. In the days ahead I look forward to being more fully briefed on the plan to deal with the situation in Iraq and Syria and to questioning Secretary Kerry at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. The President should continue to consult Congress on this very important issue. The American people deserve nothing less than a thorough and thoughtful debate."
