September 11, 2001 changed the American way of life possibly forever. We are no longer protected by the vast expanses of ocean - the barbarians are within our own gates. We have been been given a very large, ugly dose of reality and find ourselves in an unfamiliar and vulnerable position. We find ourselves having to defend our families, homes, and freedom on our own soil.
Because of the events of 9/11, homeland security (civil defense) has now become our country's top priority. This thread is to provide a central location for opportunities to assist in our mutual defense. Feel free to post any public information that would support in this effort.

This must be countered by immediately bringing ALL US males age 16 and above (except muslims), who are not already serving in the military, under arms in national guard or state militia units. Immunize them against smallpox and turn them loose under proper military direction on "search and destroy" missions seeking out and uprooting these terrorist networks and cadres within their respective jurisdictions.
District 11N, Flotilla 43. The great thing about California flotillas is they need people for land, boating and air support. Something for everyone.
