Sebelius Describes Federal Government As 'Our Federal Family' September 5, 2013 - 10:34 AM By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - September is National Preparedness Month, and in a news release urging everyone to be mindful of potential terror attacks, natural disasters, and pandemics, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the federal government is ready to help:
"While our federal family is becoming better prepared to support the nation, we know that being truly resilient requires the whole community coming together," she said.
"Simply put: bystanders can’t stand by. We’ve seen countless times that bystanders are truly the first responders. They save lives. Each of us must be ready to help others when every minute counts."
Sebelius said being ready means being aware of potential risks, knowing where to turn for help, and being willing to help one's neighbors:
"While taking a first aid class or a CPR class is always helpful, we may not need formal training to save someone’s life or provide them with basic care they desperately need at that moment. Sometimes, we just need to be willing to help carry someone who is hurt to safety, provide comfort to someone who is frightened, or help someone find the medical care they need."
Several other Obama administration officials have used the phrase "federal family" in recent weeks.
At his swearing-in ceremony on Aug. 29, B. Todd Jones, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, talked about the ATF agents who pitched in to help local law enforcement in Aurora, Newtown, Boston, and West Texas: "It's as close as you're going to get to blue-collar law enforcement in the federal family," he said.

Throw her into our federal penitentiary.
Well, Sebelius and the rest of her “family” work for, and are paid by, the U.S. FAMILY!
She’s an idiot. Probably closer to a crazy uncle than a crazy aunt.
I know that Kansas should take one for the team but we don't want her back. Maybe we could arrange a room for her and her Obama-administration colleagues in Leavenworth where they belong - then we'll take her back.
Not really. That part was the big, sloppy wet kiss to the insurance industry that they were all too happy to have in whatever bill was passed. They just got mad when team red stuck a knife in their back with forcing them to cover pre existing conditions. Those two groups of crooks were made for each other.
Jim Jones’ family is all dead.

And so many people want the story to stop there, or cannot believe it goes further, not realizing an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
