Who will run the country after the next 9/11? - By Ron Rosenbaum - Slate Magazine:

"In other words, in the weasel-speak of NSPD-51, it implies that one or more branches of the government will have to cede power to another. And since everything is to be 'coordinated by the president,' I'm guessing that the members of the Supreme Court left alive and some congressional leaders left alive (How chosen? What party balance?) will in effect have to sit around a big conference table and do a lot of 'ceding' to the executive. ...

In other words, even if you don't believe the most sinister paranoid coup theories, the document does nothing to allay one's fears that it could be used in a sinister way.

I wish I did, but I see nothing in the document to prevent even a "localized" forest fire or hurricane from giving the president the right to throw long-established constitutional government out the window, institute a number of unspecified continuity policies, and run the country with the guidance of the "National Continuity Coordinator" and with the "Continuity Policy Coordination Committee" for as long as the president sees fit.

This order has been issued by executive fiat and has not been subjected to any public examination by the other two branches, which have behaved in a supine way that suggests how they'll behave when comity time arrives and urgent decisions on the fate of the nation and perhaps the world (nuclear retaliation being what it is) need to be made immediately.

The fact that Congress has not scrutinized and challenged the potential here for an emergency-situation power grab is scandalous, unacceptable."

I've heard about these before, but this is the first time it's been well explained to me. Please contact your representatives to shed light on this issue.

Ron Paul squares off with the Union Leader over foreign policy - On Politics - USATODAY.com

A great comment on lifelong apathetic voter turned Dr. Paul supporter.

Ron Paul squares off with the Union Leader over foreign policy - On Politics - USATODAY.com:

"In my 30 years of being a voter I have never been FOR a candidate, I have always voted 'for what I thought' was the lesser of two evils. I have never given money to ANY person running for anything! I never realised how ignorant I was concerning the politicians that have been lieing to me and making a mess of thic country. I have never gotten actively involved in a campaign. UNTIL NOW! I have been introduced to Ron Paul. I have researched Ron Paul for hours and hours (driving my good wife nuts). I have just purchased his book, 'A Foreign Policy Of Freedom'. I have made three different contributions to his campaign and intend to contribute more. This man is by far the most important politician to come along and make a serious bid for the Presidency in many many years! This is the kind of politician this country has been yearning for. Dr. Paul is the peoples candidate. I'm a 50 y/o US Army Vet that does not use the computer for much more than reading the news and sending email to family and friends. I was never one to write in blogs or make comments such as this on media sites. I'm not a right wing whacko, a conspiracy theorists or a gun toting militia member. I am a regular Joe that loves my country and what it is turning into for"

How many millions of Americans out there fall into this same category?
