***********MEDIA BLAST REQUEST**********************
We need to bombard the MSM with this question thanks to
aquart - Did Gov. Barbour sign over HIS NG?

It suddenly occurred to me to ask. Blanco was asked to sign over control of her National Guard. Was Barbour? Did he?

And to Milspec for asking if JEB ever had to sign off.

360@cnn.com
caffertyfile@cnn.com
situationroom@cnn.com
hurricane@cnn.com

Please add additional emails in your 'DONE' reply...

Please use this as the subject for your email: Did MS,AL or FL GOVs Sign to FED NG?

Please keep this :kick:

Well

It gives Bush the power to institute martial law at will. I'm betting that paper makes it very hard for the state to get that power back.

Why do I keep hearing Darth Vader's theme music playing in my head when I think about that?

12. I've read somewhere that if martial law were to be...
declared it would be done officially thru FEMA, that all the legal mechanisms of that type - martial law, suspension of the constitution, etc were contained in FEMA. Anyone know anything about this?

9. Here's mine:
In the effort to be fair, you should help the American citizens like myself who are concerned about the attempts to place the blame for the devastation in New Orleans at the feet the Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin. Governor Blanco is being criticized for not signing over the state of LA to President Bush.

Please let your viewers know whether the same request was made of the Mississippi governor Haley Barbour. Also, please let us know what his response was and when he responded if at all.

In the meantime, please refrain from reporting only the part of the story that make the Bush administration look good if it is indeed true that they are not reacting the same way toward all statespeople.

Thank you for hearing me out.
