We live in a nation where, when New Jersey figures out how to do something and does it well, and shows progress, it affects other states.

I have the Pleasure to assure you Congress pay particular Attention to the Defence of New Jersey, and hitherto have denied us nothing which we have Asked for that Purpose.

Significant steps have been taken since 9-11 to protect out country here at home, but much remains to be done, Americans from across the political spectrum must come together to develop the next phase of our efforts to counter global terror.

My view is that we should not be taxing at the Federal level for the things that New Jersey can do for itself.

Part of my job is to make sure the Northeast is part of our defense industrial base, and New Jersey has always played a role.

I look forward to continuing to serve the people of New York and making our state a safer place to live, work and raise families for many years to come.

I believe the challenge the city faces is attracting continued development into the inner and western part of Jersey City. Nobody should be left behind as Jersey City continues to prosper and grow.

Let's make New York the safest state in America - that must be our goal. Let's achieve it together.

We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.

By failing to keep their end of the bargain, the Bush administration would allow New Jersey projects to deteriorate and make New Jersey highways and bridges less safe.
