Mass. Senate approves pandemic flu prep bill By Associated Press | Tuesday, April 28, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Politics The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent swine flu outbreak.
The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.
The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner — in a public health emergency — to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.
The measure also requires a registry for volunteers that would be activated in an emergency and establishes fines of up to $1,000 for not complying with local public health orders.

Sound Unconstitutional to me.
Swine flu ping
Kinda makes me glad I live in a gun heavy state.
“Enter private property for investigations
Sound Unconstitutional to me...”
And downright dangerous, at least in the castle doctrine states....
What if AIDS were taken as seriously?
A bandaid on a gunshot wound. How about monitoring or closing the Mexican border.
"Kinda makes me glad I live in a gun heavy state house".
We must submit to the this "manufactured crisis"!! /s
Martial Law. That is a good time to grab guns.
geeeee, LIberals over reacting much????
Man, I really hate going this “tinfoil”, but...
there are 36,000 deaths yearly from “regular” influenza.
THIRTY SIX THOUSAND.
The hype behind the “swine flu” is all political. But to what end?
An excuse to make some grand, decisive move towards total control of the populace?
/tinfoil
Remain in your homes. Await further instructions.
Come on in, Government!
Mi casa es su casa!

“We must submit to the this “manufactured crisis”!! /s...”
I’ll put on the tin-foil hat here for a sec. Could this was lab-concocted virus, deliberately release? Has anyone even considered this a biological attack? Kinda like a dirty nuke, only biological. Are we being told the whole story by our glorious leaders? I think not.
There goes the Constitution, that flawed document that needs to be rewritten!!
Man, bad news about martial law...just setting the foundation (THE NEW FOUNDATION!!) for ‘remaking’ America in HolyO’s image!! :-O
Here come Ozero’s storm troopers.
Scary stuff
You could be more original. lol
