- To the Editor(of my local paper):
-
- Several Presidents have signed the following Executive
- Orders(EOs) which can be put into effect by President Bush
- without Congressional approval in the event of a national
- emergency:
-
- EO10995 provides for government control of all communications media.
-
- EO10997 provides for government control of all power, fuels and minerals.
-
- EO10998 provides for government control of all food and farms.
-
- EO10999 provides for government control of all transportation,
- highways, seaports, etc.
-
- EO11000 provides for the mobilization of all civilians into work
- brigades under government supervision.
-
- EO11001 provides for government control of all Health, Education
- and Welfare activities.
-
- EO11002 authorizes the Postmaster General to operate a national
- registration of all persons.
-
- EO11003 provides for government control of all airports and aircraft.
-
- EO11004 provides for relocation of any populations.
-
- EO11005 provides for government control of railroads, waterways
- and public storage facilities.
-
- E011490 combined all of the above Executive Orders and puts all
- of them into use simultaneously if a NATIONAL Emergency is
- declared.
-
- On July 11, 1990, the U.S. Senate passed the "Omnibus Anti-Crime
- Bill", part of which is contained in the GINGRICH ANTI-CRIME BILL
- HR4079. This bill, if enacted, would permit use of the above-
- listed previously signed Executive Orders to establish nation-
- wide martial law, completely suspending all rights and liberties
- guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
-
- The Gingrich Anti-Crime Bill HR4079 called for "A Declaration of
- NATIONAL Drug and Crime Emergency". It would be in effect for 5
- years. The federal government would use the National Guard to
- force compliance with the activated EOs. This would come as a
- complete surprise to almost all citizens and the National Guard
- personnel.
-
- This Bill, HR4079, has been referred to the House Committees on
- Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, Public Works, Transportation,
- Education and Labor and Armed Services. The passage of the
- Gingrich Anti-Crime Bill HR4079 would permit the suspension of
- Constitutional government in the U.S. with one stroke of the
- President's pen.
-
- This kind of legislation is what the War on Drugs has led to. The
- Drug Threat is considered so severe that the Constitution must be
- suspended to deal with it. Does anyone think that these Draconian
- measures can be justified by anything less than a meteor impact
- on the North American continent? Does anyone think that such a
- state of emergency, once declared, would ever be completely
- repealed? Individual rights as we know them today will cease to
- exist after such an event. "The living", as Krushchev once said
- about the survivors of nuclear war, "will envy the dead".
-
- Do you trust President Bush (or any President) with that kind of
- power? Call or write your Congressperson and Senators and demand
- the defeat of any legislation containing ideas from HR4079. Also
- insist on the repeal of all of the above Executive Orders to
- prevent the establishment of a totalitarian government in the
- United States on the whim of a President.

- "The entire thrust of the Republican Whitehouse for the past 12 years
- has been to ignore laws passed by Congress and to break secretly whatever
- laws impede the implementation of Whitehouse policy. Dan Quayle is the
- latest example." - me
