The highest duty of any government is the protection and safety of its people. As Colorado's former Attorney General, Senator Salazar understands the importance of this obligation. Senator Salazar is working hard in the Senate on national and homeland security issues, fighting to make sure our communities have the critical funding they need to keep our neighborhoods and homes safe, and that we keep the promises that we as a nation have made to our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families. Senator Salazar has already made sure that we foster democracy abroad while at the same time combating terrorism at home without sacrificing the very freedoms we are fighting to protect.
