The Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to set up identification procedures to protect our country from terrorism and money laundering.

The PATRIOT Act brought down the wall separating intelligence agencies from law enforcement and other entities charged with protecting the Nation from terrorism.

This thing called Patriot Act, through which we abdicated a lot of our civil rights to defend the country against terrorism, it's a four-year story.

But the urgency of our financial situation requires that we move forward quickly.

The Government is making a fool of itself by attributing all terrorism and acts against the government only to one single patriot

After careful deliberation, I voted today to reauthorize the Patriot Act.
