So the short answer is you have no means to communicate with the citizens in your region for immediate status reports and other vital information in the event of a major disaster. OK

OK?

What are you suggesting?

Are you advocating that Mitt Romney, as president, should use Federal resources for your State and local communications?

Where in the Constitution does it even suggest that the Federal government should even be interested in what your State of local community does in this regard, or God forbid, fund it!

Why don't you ask Fred the same question. He's a Federalist, like Romney is. I know what the answer will be.

What the hell has happened to conservatives since 9/11???

When is this going to stop???

I wasn't suggesting anything. You quoted what I stated and my point, which I again post below, is quite clear:

Mitt ALREADY DID THAT in MA. He used Department of Homeland securty funding (as did many other governors) to shore up failing communications. I personally haven't a problem with that, and I doubt any one else does in LIGHT of 9-11. I'm pointing very simply to one fact. His remarks belie his thinking on such things. Regardless of the amount of money spent on a fixed infrastructure to put it IN, it will, in time fail. And invariably it will fail at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME when it is NEEDED THE MOST. To write off ham radio operators as "not needed" is flippant and ignorant. It's apparently IN HIS NATURE to do such things. THIS IS the point of this thread. Not trying to hide things he did, or imply he did something else, or point a finger at this poster or that, and try to say someone is saying "something other than what they are saying". And this isn't about Fred or other Candidates. It's about Romney's failure.
