The highest duty of any government is the protection and safety
of its people. As Colorado's former Attorney General, Senator Salazar
understands the importance of this obligation. Senator Salazar is working
hard in the Senate on national and homeland security issues, fighting
to make sure our communities have the critical funding they need to keep
our neighborhoods and homes safe, and that we keep the promises that we
as a nation have made to our men and women in uniform, our veterans and
their families. Senator Salazar has already made sure that we foster democracy
abroad while at the same time combating terrorism at home without sacrificing
the very freedoms we are fighting to protect.
