Homegrown Terrorism bill can Obama stop it?

A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ISSUE? http://www.indypendent.org/2007/11/27/homegrown-terrorism-update/

It should be noted that this bill could easily become an issue in the presidential campaign. Democratic hopeful Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) voted against the bill in the House and although Rep. Ron Paul was not present for the Oct. 23 House vote, his supporters seem to be strongly against the legislation. And Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) now has the fate of the bill in his hands as he sits on the Committee for Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
