Who's in on a national campaign to sell to the highest bidder?

We begin to take up a collection to buy our security on the 6 ports of entry to the United States. I mean afterall they are selling to the highest bidder right?

1. Ahhh... Public ownership stakes?

Sort of like the Green Bay Packers? Make the corporate bastards pay US every time they want to dock?

I like it.

3. In a 'time of war' shouldn't the military be here, protecting the ports

and the borders?

They love to use that phrase to excuse all their spying and as an excuse for destroying the Constitution ~ how many times have they said 'we're in a time of war' to silence anyone who questions them? Or 'we're in a post 9/11 world'?

If we were really in a 'time of war', the best strategy would have been, after 9/11, to keep the military HERE, not to send them all over the world, leaving the country vulnerable to attack, while selling the security of its ports to a country THEY said 'harbored terrorists'. It's mind-boggling.

If only people could use logic. We saw what happened during Katrina. None of the states affected had enough National Guard to deal with the situation.
