Coordinator Of Infrastructure Career Training Guide

Question: So if Bush can make the laws, why do we need Congress? President Signs National Security/Homeland Security Presidential Directive Purpose (1) This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies..... 6) The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. -- "Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions; (Full order here) The President of the United States is granted virtual dictatorial powers in the event of a "National Emergency - which the order broadly describes as: .."any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;" Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking. It's the kind of sweeping authority that only a banana republic could love. It's the kind of authority Fidel Castro operates under and which Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is working day and night to get for himself. The Mullahs in Iran already have it and, as of May 9th, George W. Bush is just a single "incident" away from having it too. http://www.smirkingchimp.com/node/7694

Answer: in the checks and balances method of the US, Congress can impeach the president, out-vote a presidents veto, and make laws. i dont know why Bush is making the laws. presidents are supposed to carry out the laws and enforce them, not make them! i dont think u got your preferences right... anyway, the pres. shouldn't be making the laws if he is. that would screw up the whole checks and balances method in the Constitution!!! Seriously! But the Congress can 'veto' a bill with a majority of 2/3 of them... stop it from becoming a law...

Question: If electronic health records are so important, why are they forbidden to show HIV+ status? Forbidden to show the number of abortions too. Body Mass Index, however, is required or the doctor does not get paid. Obama's Electronic Health Records Czar: HIV Status and Abortions Need Not be Included Wednesday, July 21, 2010 By Matt Cover, Staff Writer Dr. David Blumenthal, the Obama administration's National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, said on Tuesday that patients can choose to omit procedures such as abortions and positive HIV tests from the electronic health records (EHR) that every American is supposed to have by 2014 under the terms of the economic stimulus law that President Barack Obama signed last year. Blumenthal's office, a subdivision of the Department of Health and Human Services, was created by the stimulus law specifically to generate the standards and regulations that will govern the federally mandated use of EHRs. Section 3001 of the stimulus law charges the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology with overseeing the "development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that allows for the electronic use and exchange of information" that, among other things, "reduces health care costs resulting from inefficiency, medical errors, inappropriate care, duplicative care, and incomplete information" and "provides appropriate information to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care." The law requires Blumenthal's office to set "specific objectives, milestones, and metrics with respect to the following: (i) The electronic exchange and use of health information and the enterprise integration of such information. (ii) The utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014." In order to get hospitals, doctors and other health care providers to comply with the creation of EHRs for "each person in the United States by 2014," the stimulus law provided for federal bonus payments to be made to providers who generate records complying with the federal standards by 2014. Health care providers that do not use EHRs that meet the federal standards by 2014 will have their Medicare and Medicaid payments progressively diminished as a penalty for failure to comply.

Answer: Welcome to government involved healthcare....where politics and not medicine rule.

Question: Who cares, you people are wasting your time argueing...? American Reporter Posted : 2007-08-01 DUMMERSTON, Vt. -- A message to all those concerned with the 2008 presidential election - Republican, Democratic and independent: it's irrelevant. Who cares whether your candidate is for or against abortion or gay marriage or tweaking the health care system? Who cares how he/she feels about Ronald Reagan? Who cares if they are for or against impeachment? It's as irrelevant as Jimmy Carter's observations on George W. Bush are not. We, as Americans, are in a vast state of denial. We're acting as if everything is OK, as if times were normal, as if we can carry on, in 2008, as though the Bush administration never happened. But everything that has not already changed is changing now. A chill ran through my body a few days ago when the news broke that President Bush authorized the CIA to conduct a covert "black" operation to "destabilize the Iranian government." According to ABC News , the plan includes "a coordinated campaign of propaganda, disinformation and manipulation of Iran's currency and international financial transactions." And this is in addition to our current massive multinational show of Naval force in the Persian Gulf. At this point on the Outrage Express (which is what I call the bullet-train of fear that's been running through my veins since George W. Bush became President) I have two main focuses. One is that the man is mad enough to start another war - possibly with nuclear weapons - against Iran. No diplomacy, no concern for life, no immediate threat, no nothing. And this is already well under way. The other is that somehow, in some way, God - the one Mr. Bush claims is talking him through all of this madness, mayhem and murder - will convince him that times are so dangerous that he must stay in office even after his term is over. I hear you saying, "She's paranoid, right?" Then take a look at National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51, also called Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20. Under this directive, President Bush entrusts himself with leading the entire government - not just the Executive Branch - during a "catastrophic emergency." He makes himself the American czar, in keeping with the war czar and the drug czar and whatever else kind of crazy czar he's got down there in Washington. The correct word for it, however, would be "dictator." Read the directive for yourself. It was released by the White House on May 9, and can be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html I read it. I wept. The directive sets out a plan in case of a "national emergency," also called a "catastrophic emergency," or "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions." Note that "regardless of location." Could be in Iran. Could be in New York. The directive "establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies." What's a National Continuity Coordinator? "The Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator." But this person - for obvious reasons, we can assume it's a man - has no "directive authority." He gets his marching orders from the top, from the President himself. "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government." Ensuring constitutional government? But doesn't constitutional government mean three equal systems? With checks and balances? Forget it. According to this, during a "catastrophic emergency" constitutional government means "a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President." And doesn't that just make your blood run cold? Yes, there's lip service about respecting "the legislative and judicial branches and with proper respect for the constitutional separation of powers among the branches, to preserve the constitutional framework under which the Nation is governed and the capability of all three branches of government to execute constitutional responsibilities..." But the president has leapt to the head of the class. And the duration of his new and improved powers? How long does he get to play king? It's open-ended - of course - "until normal operations can be resumed." Some might argue that all the order contemplates is the same thing that happened when the attacks of 9/11 fell on New York City's mayoral election day. Under an agreement with the courts and incoming Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Rudy Giuliani st

Question: May I request you to donate a school bus for underprivileged rural children ? Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal (SSM) www.ssmandal.net established with a view to educate and empower the deprived rural people of village Sagroli located on the borders of Maharashtra, Andhra and Karnataka. With a homely shelter for 500 orphans, SSM provides education to 4000 students. There is still a great deal of apathy among parents as far as education is concerned. Most of the parents are poor farmers or farm labors who are either illiterate or undereducated and lack an awareness about the importance of education as an impact of the erstwhile Nizam State they were brought up in. Moreover, since the village Sagroli and the surrounding area is located on the borders of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, there is a general negligence towards development on the part of the Government machinery. As there is no school in the 10 Km of radius, our school is the only option for the children from 10 surrounding villages. Presently, they travel by auto-rickshaws & other hired vehicles which is irregular and also unsafe for the children. No Bus service is available. This has affected on the performance of children in all respect. The girls are the first victim. Normally the rural parents discourage the girls to continue the school after 8th Std considering the unreliable transport system. Many poor girls have sacrificed their bright career. The irregular, scanty and inadequate govt. assistance is towards worsening every year. Due to paucity of funds, we are unable to purchase a school bus. We wish to motive the children towards learning by availing a school bus which will pick up them from respective villages and drop at our school campus. In the evening, it will safely leave the children at their home villages. This will make EDUCATION pleasure for all. Thus the saved time and energy could be utilized towards home work, extra curricular activities and sports in the school. In the vacation period, the bus could be used for their educational tour and excursion. I earnestly request you to donate a new or used 32 seater School Bus. Donations made to SSM are 100% exempted under 35 AC of Income Tax Act. SSM has excellent infrastructure and resources in all respect to implement the program. A small, reasonable amount could be collected from the students to sustain the services. I look forward for your positive response in this context at sudhir.ssmandal@gmail.com or sudhir.ssmandal@yahoo.co.in Thank You, Sustainably Yours, Sudhir Deshpande Project Coordinator

Answer: You should take someones help, like from a politician or a arrange a foundation with the children from the school, we are here just to answer and help with answering but not to donate.

Question: Does attending churches & contributing to the economy using false Social Security & residency identification? Does attending churches & contributing to the economy using false Social Security & residency identification excuse one from complying the laws in America ? John Foxworth, an attorney representing some of the immigrants, said eight appeared in federal court in Hattiesburg on Tuesday because they face criminal charges for allegedly using false Social Security and residency identification.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,411121,00.html Now fast forward...Immigrant rights advocates from across the state will hold a prayer vigil from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Park Pavilion at Laurel’s Cameron Center to commemorate the first anniversary of the raid on Howard Industries Nearly 600 workers at Howard Industries’ transformer plant were detained on Aug. 25 when dozens of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided the facility. According to an e-mail from Juan Carlos Cook, communications coordinator of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance (MIRA) in Jackson, “most of them had worked at Howard Industries for a long time. They had already settled into our community, established families, attended churches and contributed to the economy of our city, our county, our state and our country.� Cook noted that 595 workers were jailed and immediately put into deportation proceedings. Also, more than 2,000 family members were separated from one another, including scores of children who were left alone. With aid from MIRA and faith-based organizations, the workers have struggled to recover. Many of them are still residing in the area and are engaged in an on-going effort to defend their rights as migrant workers in the United States. The e-mail states that “the vigil will recognize the contributions that the immigrant community has made to Laurel and our state. It will raise awareness of the devastation that this unjust act has caused — the profound effect on our community and its families, the economy and the infrastructure.� Participants in the “Prayer Vigil for Justice� will pray for an immediate end to “these egregious violations of human rights, the racial profiling that targets people of color and for a fair and just reform of our nation’s labor and immigration laws.� http://www.leadercall.com/local/local_story_236112759.html

Answer: Too bad these oh so religious people don't agree to support these "families" in their homelands. Contributions from the church members would go a long way, a lot farther than here, to providing food, medical care and educations in the countries these illegal aliens come from. From that matter, I know of a large number of churches that have missionaries in developing countries. Apparently, some churches, rather than sending missionaries, now want to move all the poor and downtrodden of the world to the U.S. for us to support, regardless of what it does to us. People who pray for justice shouldn't behave in a way that is unjust not only to Americans but to legal immigrants.

Question: Do You Think Bush Will Use This to Remain In Office? Sorry this is so lengthy, but many have not read it and many are not aware of it.. this is taken from his homeland website and it is a directive that was passed.,,, NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/NSPD 51 HOMELAND SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/HSPD-20 Subject: National Continuity Policy Purpose (1) This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies. This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency.

Answer: yes, there is no question that Bush/Cheney have no intention of leaving office. Throughout the 2000 primary campaign, Bush said that McCain was unqualified to lead, a "loose cannon" and questioned his bravery. Bush also feels that Obama is unqualified to fill his shoes.
