Senate Democrats continue to engage in misleading and outlandish charges about this vital tool that helps us do exactly what the 9/11 Commission said we needed to do ? connect the dots.

If the Senate fails to act and move forward on those nominees,

The Senate minority needs to stop obstructing its reauthorization. It's time for the Senate to complete their work.

Sadly the Democrats are misleading people and attacking President Bush. As a matter of principle, we feel the American people have a right to the truth, which is that President Bush is working hard to rescue our economy, protect Social Security and Medicare and eliminate the national debt.

I'm as frustrated as citizens are that the Legislature didn't get more done, ... Senate Democrats passed a number of good bills on issues that Oregonians support, but the House Republicans chose to kill them.

Democrats are in open disarray in the Senate. This is not the type of fight you win by coming late to it.
