The March On Washington Affirmed Our Values

The National Intelligence Director Needs The Authority To Do The Job We Are Asking Him To Do. That Means Power Over The Intelligence Budget. And To Be Effective, To Be Allowed To Do His Or Her Job, They Must Have Authority Over The Budget.

As The Third Anniversary Of The September 11th Attacks Draws Near We Must Ensure Our Nation Is Prepared To Handle The Continued Threat Of Violence And Terrorism On Our Country.

As The World's Sole Remaining Super Power And Economic Powerhouses, Our Nation's Ability To Be At The Forefront Of Innovation And Production Has Enabled Unparalleled Economic Success Of Our Nation's Workforce.

Our Nation's Military And Law Enforcement Personal Work Hard To Protect Us. We Must Thank Them For Their Continued Vigilance. Without Their Sacrifice We Would Less Capable Of Protecting Our Nation.

It Is Clear We Can Make Reforms To Better Ensure We Are Giving Law Enforcement All Of The Tools They Need While Maintaining The Appropriate Safeguards To Protect The Very Freedoms We Cherish.
