Why was it controversial? It was controversial because the resolution talks about what the Republicans have accomplished to respond to the terrorist threat. "Congress passed and the President signed numerous laws to assist victims. combat the forces of terrorism. protect the homeland and support members of the Armed Forces who defend American interests at home and abroad. including the U.S. PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its 2006 reauthorization. the Homeland Security Act of 2002. and the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2004. the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004." Now the Democrats dont want the people in America to be reminded that Republicans have responded to the threat and passed good legislation which has become effective and now is making a difference. It is hard to argue with success. We have not had a successful attack in the United States of America since September 11. 2001.
