The U.S. Secretary of Defense yesterday announced that he's agreed to a plan that will allow one military commander to be in charge of both State National Guard and each military branch's reserve forces when they are deployed to respond to domestic emergencies including terrorist attacks, according to Lisa Daniel of the American Forces Press Service.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, along with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Council of Governors -- a group President Barack Obama formed in January 2010 to represent all of the states' governors -- signed off on the agreement, known as the Joint Action Plan, during a March 1 Pentagon meeting, Ms. Daniel reported in a statement obtained by the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.

However, some conservatives and libertarians believe this is not a plan to be celebrated, but one that should be closely examined on many levels including the constitutionality of having military forces operating within the United States.
"The plan may sound good on its surface, but it brings up a lot of questions by law enforcement officials and other first responders (firefighters, emergency medical personnel, etc.)," said former police lieutenant Steve Rodgers, who has headed homeland security operations
Operation Crush Whitey.

Long past time to clean out and fumigate the White Hut!
Obama’s “plan” is to completely destroy this nation, he has nearly completed his “mission”.
More illegal acts by the most anti-american administration in the history of the nation.
Police state here we come. Obama is a wannabe NAZI DICKtator.
It’s also distraction time to kill any publicity of Wisconsin.
Are National Guard units not under control of the governors of their states?
As I recall, one of the problems with Katrina was that it was the call of the Governor of Louisiana if she wanted to immobilize the National Guard, which she didn’t do but Bush was blamed for derelection of duty. Wonder if this new policy was discussed with and had the blessings of the Governors during their recent meeting. Interesting that this new policy would come out after their meeting. With so many new Republican governors there has to be some fallout over this - one would hope. We have seen how Janet manages terrorist problems-just take a look at Fort Hood and the Mexico/U.S. Border - but then those weren’t white folks.
Yes, on a day-to-day basis. However, the President can “Federalize” them with a stroke of a pen.
0 scares me! so do Pelosi, Reid, etc
Imagine a world run by control-freaks.
Preparing for a hot war between the working taxpayers and the freeloafing welfare cases and public “workers”.
His liberal army is set on destroying America as we have known it.
Yet there seems to be no HOPE of CHANGING this mess!

I was floored! You know he’s in trouble when the ‘base’ that’s on the dole isn’t happy with him. He needs a disaster to completely take over. That’s what worries me about not securing the souther border. One dirty nuke is all he needs.
Anyone who understands liberals knows what they’d love to do with this power.
They've been preparing this for over thirty years. See REX-84
There is no good in this.
If so, there will be a lot of BROWN stains across the landscape.( and I don’t mean $hit )
