Protecting
our homes, families, and communities from all threats foreign,
domestic, or natural is of the utmost importance to me. We must
be strong and unified with our actions and words. With everything
going on in the world today we must not forget that Osama Bin
Laden and his Al Qaeda network attacked this country. We must
do everything we can to hunt him down and rid the world of this
terrible menace. |

co-sponsored and championed the Real ID Act, which President
Bush signed into law on May 11, 2005. The legislation makes
great strides for immigration reform and improved homeland security
by making it tougher for terrorists to abuse our laws. |

The
Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, administered by the
Dept. of Homeland Security, awards grants to local fire departments
for equipment, training, and staffing. This program gives our
first responders the tools they need to successfully complete
their vital mission of protecting the communities they serve
and themselves. Davis secured over sixty grants totaling nearly
five million dollars for fire departments in the Fourth District. |

Davis
voted for the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act, which
establishes a new Director of National Intelligence as the president's
chief adviser on intelligence. The 9/11 Commission concluded
there were severe lapses in coordination of intelligence leading
up to the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and
that the current director of central intelligence, who runs
the CIA, is too focused on agency operations and does not exercise
the authority needed to coordinate operations throughout the
government. |
