Politics and National Security

15 July 2005

I urge you to vote down both the Reid and Frist amendments because they are both poorly drafted and lack scope. The language smacks of political retribution and I know we can do better.

Disclosure of classified information is an important issue that needs to be dealt with; however, politics needs to exit the process. We need to bring the Reid and First groups together to draft and amendment or law of appropriate scope that removes politics and only considers national security.

Please vote down both the Reid and Frist amendments.
