Urgent Action needed for Lt. Eric Shine
http://jefffarias.com/index.php?/archives/459-Urgent-action-needed-for-Lt-Shine-!!!!.html
The COAST GUARD is taking on a lot of heat right now because it has gone way over the edge.

Right now it needs a lot more heat and attention from people and focus upon what is going on.

It is declaring itself to be a BRANCH OF MILITARY that can carry on ARREST, carry on DETENTION, PROSECUTION, ADJUDICATION and PUNISHMENT of Civilians. I will forward a recent email and posting by the Commandant. Remember I am not in nor have ever served in the Coast Guard.

Right now I need immediate "organizing" as this is being carried out to me as a "civilian" which means this can be done to you and anyone and everyone else that is a civilian - by the Military.

Need a mass calling by people and letters especially to Congressman Elijah Cummings, Congressman James Oberstar, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, even Congressmen and women from your own areas, and to our own Senators and Congressman Rorhbacher as my own Congresman.

I need the attention on this and on the issue to go viral - quickly - as they are trying to "brand" me to shut me up and this will not be the end of it all.

1. I don't understand what the heart of the issue is here based on these links...
However, the Coast Guard is a branch of the military.
It falls under the Department of the Navy.

2. Not true
From the front page of the Coast Guard website:

"2003 - Administrative control of the Coast Guard transferred to the newly created Department of Homeland Security from the Department of Transportation, where it had served since 1 April 1967"

I am not sure it was ever part of the Navy, but during WWII, things got a little muddled. Perhaps you were thinking of the USMC which is part of the USN.
