We know we must win the war on terror to protect innocent people and the freedoms that define our way of life.

We owe our World War II veterans - and all our veterans - a debt we can never fully repay.

Since September 11th Congress has created the Department of Homeland Security, more than doubled the homeland security budget and implemented a bipartisan overhaul of our intelligence systems.

This is a form of double taxation and it's simply unfair.
