"While are not consciously and overtly on the side of Satan (few would willingly do that) but they are doing Satan's work and he is able to use them to his purposes."
...And these are the people who do not believe what you believe? They are doing Satan's work, and Satan is using them?
I believe US evangelicals are a distinctive movement unto their own, right? So you're saying Evangelicals are saved, and Satan is "working through" everyone else?

Menendez Statement on House Passage of Homeland Security Bill[
Background: The House of Representatives today passed H.R. 1544, the "Faster and Smarter Funding For First Responders Act of 2005," a bill that will ensure that first responders in states and communities facing the highest risk receive a greater percentage of federal homeland security funding.
Washington, DC - U.S. Representative Robert Menendez (D-Hoboken) made the following statement in the House of Representatives on the "Faster and Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005" today:
"On September 11, more than 700 of our friends and neighbors from my State of New Jersey never returned home from work and never returned to their families. The smoking ruins of the Twin Towers were visible for my entire District to see and many of the police and emergency response people that responded so heroically to the attacks where from New Jersey.
"Yet, here we are three years and eight months later and our current homeland security funding is not based on risk and threats. That is why I rise in strong support of this important legislation which will finally direct federal assistance to those first responders serving where the need is greatest. We know the enemy seeks to attack again, we just don't know when and where it will occur.
"New Jersey faces unique terrorism threats that require a greater portion of homeland security aid due to its proximity to New York City and to its vast number of potential targets of terror, such as the largest seaport on the East Coast, one of the busiest airports in the country, an area known as the "chemical coastway," our four nuclear power plants, and the six tunnels and bridges that connect New Jersey to New York City.
"And if that were not enough, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has placed more than a dozen New Jersey sites on the "National Critical Infrastructure List" and has called the area in my District between Port Newark and Newark International Airport the "most dangerous two miles in the United States when it comes to terrorism." A recent article in The New York Times pointed out that this two mile area provides "a convenient way to cripple the economy by disrupting major portions of the country's rail lines, oil storage tanks and refineries, pipelines, air traffic, communications networks and highway system."
"Yet the State's homeland security funding was cut in this fiscal year by 34 percent. Two high-risk urban areas - Newark and Jersey City - saw their funding reduced by 17 and 60 percent respectively. The current system of allocating homeland security funds is broken and needs to be fixed immediately.
"The 9/11 Commission report said that "Homeland Security assistance should be based strictly - strictly - on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities. That is exactly what the Menendez Substitute to the Intelligence Reform bill would have accomplished last October. And that is exactly what I fought for in the conference report on that legislation and what I sought to accomplish earlier this year when I introduced the Risk-Based Homeland Security Funding Act with Senators Corzine and Lautenberg.
"We must take every step to secure our communities from the threat of terrorism, and this bill will ensure that the first responders on the front lines of this war in both New Jersey and across this country will receive a much-needed increase in federal homeland security funding. The House of Representatives must pass this important piece of legislation today and the Senate should act as quickly as possible to get it to the President's desk.
"I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill. It will turn the 9/11 Commission's recommendation in law, while protecting those areas and targets that are at the greatest risk of a future attack."
