The term "National Emergency" has seemed to rear it's ugly head lately as our country heads toward financial bankruptcy.
Are you ready? Are you prepared for a disaster? The City of Mesa Emergency Management is sponsoring National Emergency Preparedness 2008 on Saturday,
Sept. 27
...
National Emergency Preparedness 2008 is part of National Preparedness Month, created by a Presidential mandate following 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina to
help citizens become better prepared for disasters.
...
More than 25 agencies, including Mesa Fire, Mesa Police and Mesa Utilities, are participating in National Emergency Preparedness 2008 with displays
outside and inside Bass ProShops. The displays will include a variety of emergency disaster vehicles and apparatus, including helicopters, an
emergency command van, fire trucks, mass decontamination equipment semi-trailer, bomb squad, SWAT Team truck and Army humvees

Since Bush has been president, he has grabbed up hoards of power, in slick little moves, that keep the public in the dark, and Bush in ever increasing
power.
The Bush administration has taken this argument to new extremes, and supports a radical new view of executive power.
Their view is that, once Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force in response to 9/11, all decisions relating to the response to
terrorism are for the president alone to make, reducing the other two branches of government to advisory status.
Under this reading of the Constitution, the president has the authority to overrule both Congress and the courts, and interpret the Constitution,
laws, and treaties of the United States as he sees fit in any matter related

If we are plunged into financial disaster, which to me appear unavoidable, the potential for calling a national emergency looms.
It is time to think about the "unthinkable."
The Bush Administration has both the inclination and the power to cancel the 2008 election.
...
What's also clear is that this administration has a deep, profound and uncompromised contempt for democracy, for the rule of law, and for the US
Constitution. When George W. Bush went on the record (twice) as saying he has nothing against dictatorship, as long as he can be dictator, it was a
clear and present policy statement.

It is my opinion that Bush has no plans of leaving office.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, I hereby declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001, and, pursuant to the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), I intend to utilize the following statutes: sections 123, 123a, 527, 2201(c), 12006, and 12302 of title 10,
United States Code, and sections 331, 359, and 367 of title 14, United States Code.

As our country moves toward financial disaster, and police increasingly ignore the rights of citizens, and the president increasingly calls for
sweeping powers to rectify the financial situation, keep this little statement from Sarah Palin in mind
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... and Obama is worried about the police reading people their
rights?

Yet the president continues to lull the public into complacency. Remember just a couple of months ago he was saying the economy was sound? Now he's
saying, don't worry, FDIC will insure your deposits.
In addressing the financial crisis gripping the nation and the world on Friday, President George Bush reassured Americans that their money in
traditional checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit is safe and that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is still
financially able to back up those deposits.

That's a complete lie. Read my previous thread
"Is the FDIC broke?"
The Treasury Department has asked Congress to give it sweeping power to buy up toxic debt that has nearly paralyzed Wall Street.
Bush also has authorized Treasury to tap up to $50 billion from a Depression-era fund to insure the holdings of eligible money market mutual funds.
And the Federal Reserve announced it will expand its emergency lending program to help support the $2 trillion in assets of the funds

Can we really trust our government anymore? They have seperated from the people, and live comfortably in their elitist world, sitting back, enjoying
watching the public squirm under their vast powers.
It's time for a revolution. We must take back our country, or we will all be imprisoned against our will.
