Keeping America safe is our most important duty. Democrats are focused on strengthening our national security, and under President Obama’s leadership we are working to restore America’s standing in the world.
Democrats have stepped up the fight against terrorists by successfully killing and capturing hundreds of al Qaeda and Taliban leaders. We are devoting new and more resources to stop terrorist plots in the U.S. and we have passed measures that give the U.S. intelligence community, the Defense Department, and the Homeland Security Department the tools they need to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat terrorist groups. We have increased funding for counterintelligence activities and human intelligence collection; enhanced cybersecurity efforts; and bolstered aviation, port, and border security.
