This was forwarded to me by a co-worker. I think it deserves posting
here as far as EO10995 goes.

Forwarded from libernet@dartmouth.edu (I believe FEMA stands for "Federal
Emergency Management Agency", or something to that effect). I leave to
your imaginations what the fate of RKBA would be under the following,

To the Editor(of my local paper):

Several Presidents have signed the following Executive
Orders(EOs) which can be put into effect by President Bush
without Congressional approval in the event of a national
emergency:

EO10995 provides for government control of all communications media.

EO10997 provides for government control of all power, fuels and minerals.

EO10998 provides for government control of all food and farms.

EO10999 provides for government control of all transportation,
highways, seaports, etc.

EO11000 provides for the mobilization of all civilians into work
brigades under government supervision.

EO11001 provides for government control of all Health, Education
and Welfare activities.

EO11002 authorizes the Postmaster General to operate a national
registration of all persons.

EO11003 provides for government control of all airports and aircraft.

EO11004 provides for relocation of any populations.

EO11005 provides for government control of railroads, waterways
and public storage facilities.

E011490 combined all of the above Executive Orders and puts all
of them into use simultaneously if a NATIONAL Emergency is
declared.

On July 11, 1990, the U.S. Senate passed the "Omnibus Anti-Crime
Bill", part of which is contained in the GINGRICH ANTI-CRIME BILL
HR4079. This bill, if enacted, would permit use of the above-
listed previously signed Executive Orders to establish nation-
wide martial law, completely suspending all rights and liberties
guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The Gingrich Anti-Crime Bill HR4079 called for "A Declaration of
NATIONAL Drug and Crime Emergency". It would be in effect for 5
years. The federal government would use the National Guard to
force compliance with the activated EOs. This would come as a
complete surprise to almost all citizens and the National Guard
personnel.

This Bill, HR4079, has been referred to the House Committees on
Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, Public Works, Transportation,
Education and Labor and Armed Services. The passage of the
Gingrich Anti-Crime Bill HR4079 would permit the suspension of
Constitutional government in the U.S. with one stroke of the
President's pen.

This kind of legislation is what the War on Drugs has led to. The
Drug Threat is considered so severe that the Constitution must be
suspended to deal with it. Does anyone think that these Draconian
measures can be justified by anything less than a meteor impact
on the North American continent? Does anyone think that such a
state of emergency, once declared, would ever be completely
repealed? Individual rights as we know them today will cease to
exist after such an event. "The living", as Krushchev once said
about the survivors of nuclear war, "will envy the dead".

Do you trust President Bush (or any President) with that kind of
power? Call or write your Congressperson and Senators and demand
the defeat of any legislation containing ideas from HR4079. Also
insist on the repeal of all of the above Executive Orders to
prevent the establishment of a totalitarian government in the
United States on the whim of a President.

"The entire thrust of the Republican Whitehouse for the past 12 years
has been to ignore laws passed by Congress and to break secretly whatever
laws impede the implementation of Whitehouse policy. Dan Quayle is the
latest example." - me
