SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Restoring America's Power Act of 
2009''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that Congress should enact, and the 
President should sign, legislation to restore and enhance the national 
security of the United States by--
            (1) strengthening America's military capabilities and 
        recognizing the service of United States troops and the 
        commitment of their families by ensuring our Armed Forces 
        receive proper training and equipment prior to deployment, 
        support and medical care when they return home, and adequate 
        dwell time between deployments;
            (2) addressing the threat posed by Al Qaeda and other 
        terrorist groups with a comprehensive military, intelligence, 
        homeland security and diplomatic strategy and refocusing on 
        Afghanistan and Pakistan as the United States transitions in 
        Iraq;
            (3) defeating extremist ideology by increasing the 
        effectiveness of United States intelligence, diplomatic, and 
        foreign assistance capabilities; restoring the United States 
        standing in the world and strengthening alliances; and 
        addressing transnational humanitarian and development 
        challenges; and
            (4) reducing the threat posed by unsecured nuclear 
        materials and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and 
        effectively addressing the security challenges posed by Iran 
        and North Korea.
