6. Mayor Finkbeiner is a true Patriot and an American Hero
Posse Comitats Act of 1878 prevents the use of the Military from becoming a police force within US borders. Over the years there has been a lot of erosion of the act but most significantly by the Warner Defense Authorization Act of (pushed through just before the 2006 election). Now Dubya can use the Military against the US population in any way he sees fit.

For the first time in my memory, a heroic Mayor (Carty Finkbeiner - of Toledo Ohio) steps up and says NO (My heart went all aflutter with pride when I heard the story)! The effort by Mayor Finkbeiner, is an excellent first step in putting a stop to this effort to normalize the sight of troops in our streets. He should be commended, not demonized. Already the forces of evil (on the right) are calling for an apology by the Mayor. The consesqueses of an apology could be devastating for others Mayors that see this as a clear and present danger to our own populace.

What are the odds of this kind of Military exercise actually being a legitimate drill for establishing Marshal law in "other" countries. (Supposing there can ever be legitimacy for such a thing). These exorcises amounts to a rehearsal of establishing Marshal law in our major cities and counties right here in the U.S. of America. It's meant to habituate the populous to seeing troops in the street as an ordinary and wonderful thing because they are love us and are protecting us from something as yet undefined. Someone once said, "Tyranny will come to your door in a uniform". I for one want to put a stop to this sprint to fascism that is happening in this country. Remember this, the laws preventing Roman Legions from entering into the city of Roam were implemented for a very good reason.

Lets call they Mayor's office and with a show of support
