We've thought long and hard about whether to post information about this drill, which we learned of a couple weeks ago. On the one hand, we don't want to be Chicken Littles (and there are many out there sounding the 'world is ending' alarm weekly). On the other hand, we do want to relay information to our readers that is informative, educational, and useful. So we're posting this article re. a drill currently underway, as another opportunity for us to participate in our own lives, thus promoting restoration of our Republic. The way I see it is this: Of course the government drills to test its preparation to various scenarios--they do it all the time, and the exercises don't 'go live'. However, those familiar with the facts of 9/11 know that multiple war games were being run that day, some of which involved responding to the very (never before imagined) scenarios that did unfold that day. It's wise for us to be informed in order to respond to information like this. We encourage you to pick up the phone and make a few calls, particularly if you're in Washington, Oregon, or the "National Capitol Region," as recommended in the email posted at the end of this article. Please let us know what you hear (info [at] 911truth [dot] org). We'll compile and post responses here. Rep. Defazio of Oregon, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, has not been allowed to view documents pertaining to the Continuity of Government plan under which we live, as you've read in past articles. Why not? We don't suggest that every American should have access to every document re. emergency responses planned by this government. But this is supposed to be a Republic! We elect representatives to represent us... So if this is the case, we the people need them to be openly allowed, even encouraged, to review plans that so significantly affect each of us. We need to hear from them, "Yes, I've read the documents. They are, indeed, in keeping with our Constitution. I'll continue to stay abreast of this situation and report back to you." We all need to get a lot louder in our demands to know what's happening to us. This is your life, after all ... get involved in it! Thanks, Janice
