DEFEAT LOCAL LAW A
Tuesday, May 26 at 7:15 pm The Albany
County Legislature will hold a public
hearing on Local Law A - legislation
that would regulate ammunition sales
in Albany County.
http://www.albanycounty.com/legislature/default.asp?id=635
The County Legislature should defeat
this proposed Local Law which violates
the Second and Fourth Amendment
Rights of law abiding citizens and
compromises the ability of those citizens
to defend themselves, their loved ones
and their property in the civil disorder
and chaos can be expected to follow
terror attacks and/or natural disasters.
Recall Katrina?
The public should show up at this
hearing and demand that the Albany
County Legislature defeat proposed
Local Law A.

NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC
SAFETY ARE THE TOP PRIORITIES
Let's get our national, state and local
priorities straight.
We are at war. Foreign terrorists and
their domestic allies seek to destroy us
and our way of life.
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=802799
National security and public safety
are our top priorities, if we are to
survive.
The economy, health care, gay marriage
ghost tickets and sundry other issues
that occupy media and public attention
won't matter when the next round of
coordinated, systematic terror attacks
occur.
Closing Gitmo is not the answer.
Nor, is transferring foreign terrorists
to our soil, for trials in our judicial
system and incarceration in our
prison system.
Perhaps, we should reverse the process
transferring all foreign and domestic
terrorist, in our juducial and prison
systems, as well as those arrested in
the future,to Gitmo for military trials
and incarceration.
Maybe, time to reestablish Devil's Island.
Diplomacy with and appeasement of
terrorists and national states that harbor
them, is equally futile.
Government can't save us. We must prepare
to save ouselves. Every individual, household
school, church and synagogue, as well as
businesses and health care providers, must
make serious emergency/disaster
preparedness a top priority.
Time is short. Our survival is on the line!

WATER AND AIR POLLUTION: SMART GROWTH
Dredging of the Hudson River to "clean up"
PCB contamination has begun.
A major political blunder that will cost a
billion or more dollars, and only make matters
worse.
This mess can't be "cleaned up". Best to let the
PCB's in river bottom sediments alone.
Disturbing the PCB"s trapped in river sediments
will only cause more water pollution downstream
and add to air pollution in the Capitol District, as
sediments are placed on land, dry out and become
airborne.
3 related articles illustrate the nature of the
problem:

*(article appeared next day after this post)
Air: http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=802563&category=REGION
The billion or so, and six years make work jobs
would be better spent on rebuilding the aging water
and sewer sytems of Albany, Troy, Watervliet
Cohoes and other downstream cities.
When the gas becomes too expensive, or not
available at all, the ozone problem will be diminish.
Populations will be forced to return to the cities.
The cities must be prepared to accommodate
population growth in the coming decade.
Start now, by rebuilding water/sewer and other
urban infrastructure, as well as revitalizing
neighborhoods, that contain neighborhood
schools and churches.
Work with the Diocese of Albany to rescind church
and school closings in Albany, Troy, Watervliet and
Cohoes.
Now, that is Smart Growth!
