Quotations

"Many Americans need no convincing that the blessings of freedom carry the price of responsibility. They only need to hear a call to action. The calls that have come from Opperman, Gambone and Gehrz should be picked up by others -- mayors, sheriffs, legislators and a governor." --Star Tribune editorial

"Americans have a lot to offer, so I've created a task force to develop additional ways people can get directly involved in this war effort, by making our homes and neighborhoods and schools and workplaces safer." --President Bush

"It's called Homeland Security. While the effort will begin here, it will require the involvement of America at every level." --Director Tom Ridge

"Americans hunger for patriotic service to the nation, but do not see ways to personally make a difference....What is lacking today is not a need for patriotic service, nor a willingness to serve, but the opportunity." --Senator John McCain

"We need a department of Homeland Security. We've got to defend our homeland." --Warren Rudman
