| HOMELANDSECURITY
After 9/11 alot of things changed here in the United States. One of the things that changed is it showed us just how vulnerable we really were. People were afraid ,the skies were cleared of all the planes, some politicians demanded gun control, even though the terrorist were using our airplanes, but everyone wanted to know who was responsible. And in the months following, it changed the United States as a whole. We were looking to go after people on the offense, no longer on the defense. It changed our ways and thoughts of dealing with our enemies. For the most part I can agree with going after terrorists before they make their way into our country. But some of the laws that they are discussing and trying to pass, using fear of what happened then telling us it is for our own good is BULL!! Our security should always be a top priority, but there should never be a compromise when it comes to our freedom. Our government at this time is working on a bill for, HomeLand security, the problem is, there are too many added phrases that have absolutely nothing to do with Homeland Security. For example, the second amendment has been attacked again, and I received a letter the other day, where there was a peice on pharmaceutical companies and the federal government getting out of liability for vaccinations. I have not seen the proposed bill yet. But if what I am told is true, this is just more TRASH added to an important bill. Sometimes you have to wonder who the politicians work for, when I look at stuff like this, I know that it's not the average citizen they have in mind. Sometimes I think some politicians are using the fear of what happened during 9/11 against us for their own personal agendas. I think our legislative body needs overhauled, and my suggestions of doing this is by getting a bill passed that will not allow any phrase added on to a bill that does not pertain directly to the bill that is being voted on and I also think that some of our legislatures need to go back to school on their own time and be taught the bill of rights and that is part of congress's job to make and pass laws as it is said in the constitution to support the bill of rights and not destroy them.
There are good politicians and bad, and I recon it is our job, the citizens, to weed the bad ones out and try to vote good ones back in, There are some laws today, that violate our own bill of rights that need changed, at least in a free society we are able to work on them peacefully. With out a doubt we are the freeist country in the world, but I am sure our forefathers planned for us to be the FREE COUNTRY OF THE WORLD. We will just have to keep working on it.
If you have read this article and you agree, please take the time to write the president, the speaker of the house and your state representatives, and tell them that you want a bill that stops the tacking on of writings that do not pertain to bills that are being passed and that you want a homeland security bill passed that pertains only to homeland security. Reminder, your government is supposed to work for you not the other way around.

This is just my opinion, but from what I've seen and heard, some of what happened on 9/11 could have been prevented if laws that were in place would have been enforced, and if a homeland security bill is passed, and it pertains only to our security then I am sure we will all be a whole lot safer.
