The NEW plan basically gives him the right to govern and CONTROL all of the various agencies that make-up the Homeland Security system.
Basically, I believe this would give DICTATOR status.

What I get from the items I've read is that President Bush wants the power to fire US employees who are in the Homeland Security Department if they totally f*ck up. He can fire some US employees now, but most simply can not be fired. This is not dictatorial power and the employees would still be protected by written rules and procedures.
The second and main issue of contention is that Daschle, Clinton, Kennedy et al. want pork in their states solely for benefit of the democRAT-Criminal-Solicialists and their supporters, or they won't give money for Homeland Security. This is what President Bush objects to and you should support him.
Today the US is locally controlled by state, county, and city personal, AND by Federal authorities. President Bush is not seeking to change that significantly. TIPS does bother me, but in reality this would only formalize what happens now anyways. TIPS has been rolled back to almost nothing already.
I say send email in support of your President. I say send email against the short-sighted and selfish democRATS-Criminals.
Conservatives should push for a formal Federal duputy program in suburban and rural America. If done properly this could save America from the democRAT-Crimonals.
