No, erect a security fence around the city of Portland, Oregon instead.
@8S3JZ3B4yrs4Y
Only if there is immediate danger
@4ZB2VS34yrs4Y
No, but because of security threats now it should
@8S6KQGY4yrs4Y
only if it is absolutely necessary
@3L4VJYP4yrs4Y
No, stronger measures should be set in place to protect the Capitol.
@BestPoliticsIN4yrs4Y
No, it is the people's Capitol
@8SFDLS64yrs4Y
No, but it may only be authorized if a demonstration is deemed to become violent or if something becomes a matter of national security.
@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
No. The Capitol is a public building and should be open to the public. The security fence is not only hypocritical but an insult to the American Public
@7FLXZTC4yrs4Y
Yes, but only until better security systems and intelligence are implemented.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, for a defined period of time that is agreed upon by both Capitol police and members of Congress
@842VWLK4yrs4Y
yes, but only because I don't want any more loss of life. and only do it if thinks seem to escalate again.
@8CN7P7L4yrs4Y
No, Goverment should be easily accessible
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, until violent riots have been stabilized for an indeterminate length of time
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, until violent riots have been stabilized for a given length of time jointly agreed upon by the Capitol Police and members of Congress
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, for a period of time that is jointly agreed upon by members of Congress and the Capitol police
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, for a designated time period that is agreed upon by both Capitol police and members of Congress
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, for a defined time period that is agreed upon by both Capitol police and members of Congress
@8KLW9JD4yrs4Y
No, but during events there needs to be more security in place.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but remove it by the start of 2022
@8RSCZG84yrs4Y
Would the fence even work..?
@8RSNY684yrs4Y
Maybe some type of security fence but what the capitol needs is more security by the police, national guard, army, or whatever so members of Congress can be safe.
@8RXGKGZ4yrs4Y
No, It will effectively do nothing
@8RS5BVG4yrs4Y
Yes, temporarily and with some modifications. While the implementation of the fence is unfortunate, it seems it is currently necessary to protect members of congress from any violent attacks.
@Maxx485038004yrs4Y
No, give DC statehood or the right to call in the national guard
@8S6SYCT4yrs4Y
Not only (yes) all important parts of governing systems should be protected with more forces than just a fence. Fences alone don't protect houses enough, drones, guards, cameras- employ as much as needed. Especially after the recent storming- god that was pathetic.
@8S4VH5F4yrs4Y
Only right now, while there is a terrorist threat. Once the threat is gone we need to open it up. The Capitol is a building for the people ran by the people.
@8S6JHGR4yrs4Y
yes but not too big a one
@8SBQ3HP4yrs4Y
No, the security there just needs to do their job.
@8SGQ45H4yrs4Y
Yes but only as a last resort.
@8SFP8F24yrs4Y
Not anymore. The riot is over.
@8SJL5BT4yrs4Y
only if something really bad happens
@8SHYVRQ4yrs4Y
no us citizens should be able to visit if they want
