When he has ties to a domestic terrorist organization. What kind of idiots do we have working in homeland security? Are background checks not done. Lets see here Member of Nation of Islam + employee working on homeland securrity= trouble. Think about that people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-65244795669881334202007-08-28T06:17:00.000-05:002007-08-28T06:17:00.000-05:00The Secretary of State is in charge of the Elections Division.Gary R.

Absurd, and I can't believe it's at all true.

Without the Federal funding then he doesn't get paid for what he says he's doing.<BR/>I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what in the hell the ATC has to do with Homeland Security.<BR/>He can be with one or the other but he can't be with both.<BR/>Who hired him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-62352264228995921372007-08-27T17:28:00.000-05:002007-08-27T17:28:00.000-05:00"Carson" and "Intelligence Fusion" is funny. <BR/><BR/>And for anyone coming late to this game, the first post, which states it was removed by the author was by Carson's secretary for the campaign, one Wilson Allen, yet again comment on Carl Brizzi.

One that I hadn't thought of.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Andre's current job even existed, funding-wise, prior to the Homeland Security funding. So it'd be pretty hard to argue that some, or all, of his salary does not come from federal funds.<BR/><BR/>This is the trouble you find, when public employees run for office. It's a sticky wicket.<BR/><BR/>I watched the Public Safety Committee budget hearing on Ch. 16 this weekend (replay). I did a nose count, and four of the six Dems on the committee, as well as one Repub, were on the public payroll. The chair's spouse is a policeman.<BR/><BR/>It's getting a little ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-61168122505590759642007-08-27T13:35:00.000-05:002007-08-27T13:35:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.com
