Since The Ousting And Capture Of Saddam

It Is In Times Of Great Tragedy When The True Spirit Of Our Wonderful Country Unites As One.

The Hussein Regime's Support For Terrorism, Within And Outside Of Its Borders, Its Appetite For The World's Most Dangerous Weapons, And Its Openly Declared Hostility To The United States Were A Combination That Was A Gathering And Growing Danger To Our Country.

After Careful Deliberation, I Voted Today To Reauthorize The Patriot Act.

Since Its Enactment In The Weeks Following The September 11 Terrorist Attacks, The Tools In The Patriot Act Have Been Used By Law Enforcement To Stop More Than 400 Terrorist Threats To Our Families And Communities.
