It is also true that Democrats have a new direction to address these and other security concems and the failures of this administration to adequately prepare our country for another large scale disaster. But the Republican leadership dishonors the spirit of this solemn anniversary by including divisive language in this resolution. Controversial issues. such as certain provisions of the PATRIOT Act and the Border Protection Act. have no place in a resolution that commemorates the events of September 11. 2001. And I deeply regret that my Republican colleagues have unnecessarily cast a shadow on this solemn anniversary. On the fifth anniversary of the September attacks. let us remember 9/11 not with political shenanigans but by respectfully remembering those who lost their lives and by honoring them with legislation that provides real homeland security for the families and friends they left behind and all Americans.
