President Bush on May 9th, 2007 made this law effective. This law enables any President to take complete control of all governing bodies (state, local, territorial, and tribal) when the US enters a "catastrophic emergency". Being in business I understand the importance of having a dedicated leader. In a time of decision making it's best to have one voice not several. I do however believe several voices should help make the final decision but only one voice needs to speak of that decision. The problem I have with this law is the lose ended definition of "catastrophic emergency". According to the definition we are in a catastrophic emergency with Iraq, our environment (if you listen to politicians), and terrorist threats. It also sounds like the President has the ultimate authority to decide when this goes into effect and when it does not. To me this seems to be a little to powerful for one person. There needs to be more checks and balances. Anyways, I like to keep people in the loop if I find anything. I think it's very important to know what our paid electives are doing in Washington.

Dang, when is Dubs rule of the Free World going to be over?
The scary thing is this power will be passed on to our future Presidents (whoever they may be). It worries me that not many citizens are aware of what "our government" is up to. This kind of stuff always just kind of happens without any real notice.
