But rather than follow the example of the Senate Republican and Democratic leadership and introduce a 9/11 Anniversary resolution designed to bring America together. House Republicans insisted on a divisive and partisan resolution. Unfortunately. H. Res. 944 praises both a Patriot Act that undermines the most basic of our civil liberties and a hateful immigration bill that makes the provision of humanitarian services to undocumented workers a crime. It goes on to wrongly characterize Iraq as a "front line" response to 9/11 and ineffectually attempts to equate the distinct wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a single conflict. I would have liked nothing more than to today vote to honor the selflessness and sacrifice many demonstrated on and after the attacks.
