Maybe it’s a good idea to actually read the document in question before going nuts:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html

“(e) “Enduring Constitutional Government,” or “ECG,” means a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches and with proper respect for the constitutional separation of powers among the branches, to preserve the constitutional framework under which the Nation is governed and the capability of all three branches of government to execute constitutional responsibilities and provide for orderly succession, appropriate transition of leadership, and interoperability and support of the National Essential Functions during a catastrophic emergency;”

“(a) Ensuring the continued functioning of our form of government under the Constitution, including the functioning of the three separate branches of government;”

Chalk up another vote for “Corsi selling books by feeding the conspiracy brigade”?

We need people paying attention, we need alarmists. We also need to weigh what they are saying with other perspectives and going to the original sources for clarification.

Abraham Lincoln once asked his son "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?"

Tad replied, "Five."

"No son, he has four, calling it a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Thanks for the link — I did some googling myself and was just about to post it. Yes, it looks less sinister — it appears to apply to the executive branch only, and acknowledges that the other two co-equal branches are responsible for their own continuity planning. It bears watching, though.
