As reported by WorldNetDaily Jan. 10, the bill, if adopted as written, grants governors the power to order the collection of all data and records on citizens, ban firearms, take control of private property and quarantine entire cities. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24686 Executive power grab on tap at White House?
