Obey's Security Votes #1

Obey Out wanted to go back and really look at Dave Obey's statement calling the President the greatest national security risk. We will post a series of votes Dave Obey has taken that we believe gives him no solid ground to stand on when making such a claim.

The first vote we want to highlight was against reauthorizing critical anti-terror provisions in the Patriot Act (Roll Call Vote 414, July 21, 2005). While the Patriot Act has been controversial, many modifications were made to ensure the civil liberties of U.S. citizens are protected. And, lest you think this was a party-line vote, 43 Democrats voted for it.
