Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither
inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the
assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to
prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence
than an armed man.

The 2009 National Infrastructure Protection Plan
The 2009 National Infrastructure Protection Plan (http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf) The National Infrastructure Protection Plan provides the unifying structure for the integration of a wide range of efforts for the enhanced protection and resiliency of the nation's _critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR)_ (http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1189168948944.shtm) into a single national program. The overarching goal of the NIPP is to build a safer, more secure, and more resilient America by preventing, deterring, neutralizing, or mitigating the effects of deliberate efforts by terrorists to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit elements of our nation's CIKR and to strengthen national preparedness, timely response, and rapid recovery of CIKR in the event of an attack, natural disaster, or other emergency. The 2009 NIPP replaces the 2006 version and reflects changes and updates to program elements and concepts. It captures the evolution and maturation of the processes and programs first outlined in 2006 without changing the underlying policies. The revised NIPP integrates the concepts of resiliency and protection, and broadens the focus of NIPP-related programs and activities to an all-hazards environment. * Read the 2009 _National Infrastructure Protection Plan_ (http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf) (PDF, 188 pages - 4.5 MB) Update your subscriptions, modify your password or e-mail address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your _Subscriber Preferences Page_ (https://service.govdelivery.com/service/user.html?code=USDHS) .

Fwd: New Entry at Framing the Questions
Apparently my opponent has never looked at the CIP which was passed by a 4-1 ratio. Had he actually looked at the document he would find that there was NOT a listed project which said we are going to spend $600,000+ on signage around the city so private enterprises don't have to pay for advertising any longer. -- Forwarded message -- From: Framing the Questions nore...@onlinequickblog.com Date: Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 8:57 PM Subject: New Entry at Framing the Questions To: tom t.ma...@gmail.com Framing the Questions published a new entry entitled Is That Printer's Ink on Your Chin? on 2/19/2009 8:57:38 PM, written by R Stephens. -- Is That Printer's Ink on Your Chin? The local daily paper seems to be dribbling printer's ink out both sides of its mouth. Three weeks ago, in an editorial suggesting that readers reject the 1% tax for the Police and Firefighters Pension Plan, the writer suggested that one reason was that previous City Councils had not made full payments into the plan. Because of better than expected investment returns, the Council had put some funds into other projects and services. The writer criticized the Council's exercising its judgment and authority to move funds from one project to another. Fine. I have no problem with that opinion nor with the criticism leveled at our city management. However, my problem with the local Editorial Board begins with its complete inconsistency. In an editorial this week, it scolded the Council for voting to approve the purchase of signage designed to help visitors get around Springfield. The writer's rationale was that Council should use that money for other, more pressing issues. You can't have it both ways. The voters approved—by a margin of four to one—a very rigidly defined list of projects to be completed with their tax money over a three-year period. The wayfinding signs are one such project on that list. Can you imagine the editorial bile that would spew forth if City Council were to stop the purchase of the signs and divert that money elsewhere? The editorialists would go nuts. However, this won't occur because the Council cannot legally take money from one tax-revenue account and apply it to another project. Then, more recently, the Sunday editorial suggests studying the option of pension obligation bonds to satisfy the pension shortfall. This option moves the debt from one column to another. By selling bonds, you are essentially borrowing money in order to pay off another debt. In other words, as some consumers have done, you simply pay off one credit card balance by transferring it to another credit card. You're not any better off; you still owe the debt; you simply owe it to a different entity plus you owe even more interest on the debt. The writer then suggests that our investment returns after making the pension whole would average around 7.5%. Good gosh, if the returns were 7.5%, we wouldn't be in the situation we are now! They then further suggest that, with higher returns, we might not have to make the City's full payment into the pension plan. Maybe I'm reading the paper incorrectly, but within the last month, the editorialists have criticized Council for these very actions. The voters approved the CIP tax by a vote of 4-1 and defeated the pension tax increase by around 800 votes. In spite of the editorialists and the candidates who can't seem to understand, the voters' decisions should not be tampered with. The voters can change their minds and there are mechanisms to initiate petitions to repeal their decisions. However, given our representative democracy, it is either simple ignorance or supreme arrogance for an editorial writer or a Council candidate to think that his or her personal ideas are superior to a decision by voters. ##30## Permalink: framingthequestion.us/2009/02/19/is-that-printers-ink-on-your-chin.aspx -- - Commenthttp://framingthequestion.us/2009/02/19/is-that-printers-ink-on-your-chin.aspx#AddCommenton this entry. - Subscribehttp://framingthequestion.us/2009/02/19/is-that-printers-ink-on-your-chin/subscribe.aspx?email=t.ma...@gmail.comto future comments on this entry. - Unsubscribehttp://framingthequestion.us/confirmblogunsubscribe.aspx?email=t.ma...@gmail.comfrom this blog This is an automated message. -- http://votetom4council.webs.com/ www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.) no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ A legislative act contrary to the Constitution is not
