being that i am in boy scouts and venture crew, i spend alot of my timeon the fema sites and the other such recources as the emi (emergency management institute) and the american red cross is tied into this.... alot of the free help and services could be cut as well, but private citizens are welcome to participate in fema operations........

i do believe and agree they should not become the powerhouse. everyone is so worried about the natons security, but no one seems ot remember the nation is people and we have to be secure......

bill clinton put it great:

"theres nothing wrong with america that whats right with america cant fix"

true i heard the little girl on jay leno say that, but it is so true...
