This from Bob Geiger:

Democratic Congressman Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who is running to replace Mike DeWine (R-OH) in the United States Senate, delivered the Democratic response to George W. Bush’s national radio address today, marking the fifth anniversary of September 11.

An excerpt:

We ask our grandmothers to take their shoes off at airports, yet only 6 percent of the cargo entering our ports is inspected. Our borders remain open. Our chemical and nuclear plants remain vulnerable. Our courageous first responders lack the right equipment and sufficient resources, and not enough has been done to protect our rails, and our roads, and our metro systems.
