Protectionism we can all support

House Republicans have introduced the Keep Terrorists Out of America Act, requiring pre-approval from governors and state legislatures to transfer or release any terrorist detainee into their respective state.

The legislation establishes strict criteria and certification standards that must be met before any detainee is released into the United States.

The Democrats control the House and Senate, but let's see one Democratic member of Congress vote against this bill. Let them explain to their constituents back home how bringing the world's most dangerous terrorists to American soil will make them safer. It's one thing for Barack Obama to pander to the far-left loons of the Democratic Party, but every member of the House has to stand for re-election in 2010.

Stand for the safety of Americans or stand with America's enemies. This issue alone will help Republicans win back the House in 2010.
