John Kerry Works to Secure America's Ports
12 July 2005



Senator John Kerry will offer an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill today that aims at fixing gaping holes in the agency's work to secure America's ports.

"Almost four years after September 11th, our port security is in alarming shape, and the attacks on soft targets in London are a chilling reminder why there is no time to wait. The Administration has been asleep at the switch while shipload after shipload of cargo slips into our ports uninspected. We've spent more on the Capitol Visitors' Center than on the Port Security Grant Program. The Department of Homeland Security's own Inspector General said that only a fraction of the money awarded for port security grants has actually been spent, and much of what has been spent has been badly mismanaged. We have to fix this mess, fix it right away, and hold the administration accountable for getting this right," said Senator Kerry.

1. Work on Mr. Kerry

Sometimes I wonder if our nation isn't getting what it deserved. Did we deserve a man like Kerry? Didn't always vote perfect, but is so much more a MAN and a LEADER than is Chimpledent.

2. Good! Keep that $2.2 billion Israel wants and put it to our port security.

3. MY President is doing his job.

How funny is it that John Kerry has already had far more presidential accomplishments while NOT being president than Lancelot Flightsuit has with his paper title?

7. Lancelot Flightsuit! LOL!

:bounce:

[blm]

4. He's putting up HIS plans from the campaign trail that the media ignored

at the time so the public wouldn't NOTICE that Bush wasn't doing his job and had no REAL plan for REAL homeland security.

5. YES HE IS!

Exactly!
