John Thune: “The Wireless Emergency Alert system is a critical tool for public safety.”

It's a pretty simple measure, but an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.

Both pieces of legislation strike at the very heart of issues that the American people care deeply about, passionately about, and we'll see if the Democrats are willing to take yes for an answer.

I worry about that, for sure.

I like the message. But it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars.
