President Promotes Renewal of Patriot Act

White House Press release: President Visits National Counterterrorism Center

  • “I mean, not only are we sharing information here at home, we’re sharing information with our allies, with our coalition partners. See, terrorists are willing to strike at anybody who loves freedom, and our job is to protect free societies — the freest of all societies here at home, and the free societies amongst our coalition partners. And the Patriot Act has helped do just that.”
