Rep. Dennis Kucinich briefly addressed Continuity of Government in response to a question on our recent 9/11 truth movement open conference call (transcript and audio here). His comments included:
"The questions that have been raised about Continuity of Government are very serious because they relate to whether or not the president could take us into a state of emergency and essentially suspend the Constitution. We need to know what the rules are here. Members of Congress have made efforts to try to get the documents from the Administration that relate to the Continuity of Government; they have not been able to obtain it. This is something I'm very concerned about, that I have followed, that I continue to follow up on. I have the same concern. If we hadn't seen this Administration take us into a war based on lies, suspend habeas corpus, attack the Fourth Amendment and many other provisions of the Constitution, then there'd be no reason to be concerned about this provision of Continuity of Government. But since they have done this and have shown a willingness to compromise the Constitution of the United States in very deep ways, we'd better be very concerned. And I think that Congress has to get the information of what the intentions are of this Administration with respect to the issues of Continuity of Government. Continuity of Government should not be about a power grab. If the nation is under some type of severe attack there has to be a way to continue to govern. But Continuity of Government should not be used as a cover for an anti-democratic takeover of this nation. And I'm, I think that we have to be suspicious of this Administration's activities any time the President signs an Executive Order that seems to take steps in the direction of anti-democratic conduct."
Links to further important reading on this issue are in that same article. Read them, learn about this valid concern, then call your legislators today and demand that they find out what's in the secret Continuity of Government paperwork, and why they've not been allowed to see it. What structure of government DO we live under?

Intro by Reprehensor of 911Blogger.com:
To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther
King Jr., CNN broadcast the first episode in a series titled "Black in
America". The initial program was a "documentary", but a documentary
in the sense of the Warren Commission... cherry picked testimony, the exclusion
and downplaying of virtually all contrary evidence, and the reinforcement of
the "Official Conspiracy Theory". Here, William Pepper details some
of the major problems with the broadcast. Keep an eye out for a re-run of "Eyewitness
to Murder: The King Assassination", and then compare that to the 1999 MLK
Trial footage, and try not to vomit.
