for the 'Government' CategoryElection Update 2
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006 (Current Events, Government with No Comments)The results are slowly coming in…
In Georgia’s State races:
Governor Perdue is off to a strong lead, and so is most of the Republican ticket. The downside is that only 11% of precincts are reporting.
In other races:
Maine seems to have declared Olympia Snow to win re-election. (see www.foxnews.com)
Pennsylvania is still tight, I’ve only been able to see the polls from Real Clear Politics. I don’t know the official results yet.
The information of Tennessee and South Dakota are in the works.
Election Day! (Update 1)
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006 (Current Events, Government with 1 Comment)It’s finally here!
Many dedicated people have spent all year campaigning for this day. The time has arrived. If you haven’t already voted now is the time to do it!
Evidently on the east coast it seems to be rainy while people are headed to work and the polls. In my State it is forecasted to rain all day. The rain is a great thing for the turn-out, not so great for Floridians like me who aren’t used to 50 degree weather and rain occurring simultaneously.
In other news, it looks like Maine’s senate race is going well, the poll is a little old. Although, with the campaigning going on up there this week, I think it might end up being close to accurate.
There will be more election updates later on today, keep watching, and if you’re old enough, GO VOTE!
A Day of Prayer and Fasting
Sunday, November 5th, 2006 (Current Events, Government with 2 Comments)The 2006 midterm elections are almost here! As Christians we need to act, this election is crucial!
We can not skip this election day, likewise, we cannot go into this election without prayer.
I stated in part 2 of “Lessons Learned On The Trail” that prayer is vital.
Pray for America!
It is evident that God DOES hear our prayers. He also says “You have not because you ask not”. Prayer is our best weapon, so why don’t we pray for America and the up coming elections? Mr. Steven Givler had a great idea about prayer and fasting for the elections on his blog. I’m planning on setting aside Monday as well. Even if the results aren’t as we hoped, God does have a plan. He even tells us He will heal our land! However, we can’t just say “Okay Lord, heal America”, we have to do as 2 Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.
I think it’s time we put America back in God’s hands!
As Christian Americans we have a duty to pray for our nation and leaders, what more crucial time than an election year?
Amature Homeland Security Policy
Monday, April 3rd, 2006 (Government with 4 Comments)Department of Homeland Security
Policy by the Secretary of Homeland Security: Kierstyn P. (American Patriot)
One of the highest priorities of governments is the well being of their nation. This includes homeland security, for if your homeland is not secure you are more vulnerable to attacks from the inside as well as outside. Our domestic policy is just as important as foreign. If we are weak on the outside yet strong on the inside we are put at risk. If we are strong on the outside and weak on the inside we are still at risk. For a nation to remain sovereign we need not only to be strong internationally, but we need especially to be strong in keeping the homeland secure. In order to do that I propose the following plan:
*this is just the initial plan, it is subject to updates and revisions as deemed necessary*
Border Patrol:
Construct a wall between the Mexico Border.
Design will be a replica of the Israeli wall (trenches, barbed wire, and electric fence).
The wall will go about 20 feet under ground.
Any US citizen within 20 miles of the border should have authenticated proof of citizenship.
Cost
The Cost of construction should be 9 billion
The Cost of Labor will be none since the builders will be convicts.
Efficiency
The wall will serve as a deterrent against illegal immigrants and will keep our borders secure.
If for some reason an illegal makes it across the fence, and does not stop when called upon. The border security (or minutemen) already in place will have the authority to use any means necessary to get that individual to stop.
Nuclear, radiological, counter attacks:
Raise terrorist alert standards to “extreme”.
Work with D.o.D. and S.o.S
Check with Governors to make sure their respective States are able to handle the situation.
Be sure that the Governor’s have a plan of action etc…
Biological Attacks
Set up a system (if there isn’t one already) so that mail/packages can be scanned for biological chemicals.
Estimated cost
2 billion
Airport security
Keep the “status quo” but allow profiling of suspects.
Cost: should be the same amount that is currently spent on airport security.
