The Public Record
I urge you, Mr. Chairman, to hold a hearing examining the homeland security threat posed by anti-Government and white supremacist groups.
As we consider the possible domestic effects of our actions, we must also consider the possible effects abroad.
I want to take a moment to thank Chairman King for agreeing to my request to invite Rep. Dingell and Sheriff Baca.
I am particularly troubled that much of the current vitriol has been directed toward the President and the First Lady.
I urge the Chairman to hold a hearing examining the homeland security threat posed by anti-Government and white supremacists groups.
The number of active hate groups in the United States topped 1,000 for the first time and the anti-Government movement has expanded dramatically for the second straight year.
I vehemently oppose the narrow approach this committee is taking in this hearing.
Restricting this hearing for the consideration of radicalization of American Muslims and not equally of other groups is wrong.
