I was looking at this bill that was introduced in late Jan./09, the one to establish the emergency camps, here is some of the text of the bill:

Mr. HASTINGS of Florida introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Why does it have to be on military bases? That creeps me out. Just like the roach motel, yuo can check in, but can't check out: X

Dang dang dang. I just deleted ALL my threads! I hope I'm not the only person who ever did that. Does anyone remember that thread that a guy here in Okla. started the guy who owned the tattoo parlor, who came under investigation by OSBI? I know the agents name was Ed, can't remember the last name but it's in that thread but now I lost the thread. Same guy I'm thinking.

I also couldn't help but notice a government official, employee of FEMA? made a rebuttal to ATS 4-5 years back. REminder folks, every word you write here is being read by big brother.

"to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations"

What's got the US government to do with the actions of private/non profit/faith organizations?

I liked this one:

(4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.


Yeah it's the OTHER that scares me. Especially after the way I saw how they reacted to the victims of Katrina. I think they thought hey that's less we'll have to worry about in 3 or 4 years.
