Funding Our First Responders

Firefighters and other first responders met Democratic senators at the Capitol today to discuss new legislation that will help protect our homeland and keep Americans safe. Senators Joe Lieberman and Frank Lautenberg explained the importance of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act. "When there's an emergency, it's our first responders and public safety professionals who put their lives on the line to save the lives of others. This bill provides those brave men and women with the tools and resources they need," said Lautenberg.
