When people take personal responsibility to be prepared, get training, and volunteer to support their local first responders, we become a stronger nation. This is the goal of Citizen Corps, the Department's grassroots initiative that encourages everyone to play a role in hometown security - through personal preparedness (outlined on the Department's website www.ready.gov), training such as CERT, basic first aid courses; and volunteer programs, including Neighborhood Watch, Medical Reserve Corps, and Volunteers in Police Service.
The impulse to get involved in local civic life or to volunteer for worthy causes is uniquely American. Since September 11, 2001, people across America have focused on the safety and security of others and have asked, "What can I do?" and "How can I help?" Many asked these same questions again during the widespread electrical blackout last summer. Citizen Corps answers these questions and provides local opportunities to channel this interest and energy through preparedness, training, and volunteer service opportunities coordinated by the nearly 1,200 local Citizen Corps Council nationwide.

First, yes i'm tired of all the crap from this government. You are wrong about the white man being the minority in this country, that will never happen. What has happen is that the lies are catching up with the white man. The politicians has been lien so long til they believe their own lies. Vote the bombs out. You are experiencing what the black man and the Indian's has experienced in this country since it was founded, so when you see anyone being discriminated against don't just stand by do something.

If you ask anyone else we are not. But it is true. All of what you say is true. But I really wish that everyone would actually work together instead of apart that is the only way to stop the racism. The illegals coming here is what causes those jobs to be so low. I know people who would do them for minimum or hopefully high wage but cant even find a stinken job. The could at least learn english

I am with you. At the place I work you have take an assessment test. It doesn't matter if you pass. If you failed and an Mexican you already have a job.
It has nothing to do with work experience any more its all about a certain percent.

Stop yer belly aching and get a job - if your qualified.
The government doesn't "take care of it's own" - that's something you have to do for yourself.

I agree with you so much. One time my friend was supposed to get a promotion because he worked at a place for ten years. Then a immigrant with no experience comes in gets the promotion my friend was supposed to get. That's what pissed him off. And it got me pissed off too.

I never considered it my destiny to pay for a pack of lazy mexicans to feast on welfare.
Build the Fence, Seal it, and deport, deport, deport.
Let mexico try something new, taking care of its own people.
