&quot;All Americans should begin a process of learning about potential threats so we are better prepared to react during an attack.&quot; (<a href="http://www.ready.gov/america/overview.html" target="_blank">http://www.ready.gov/america/overview.html</a>). At the time of this message, our country is at a heightened state of alert.<br> <br> The U.S. needs an annual event where federal, state and local officials reflect on our security posture and provide a security roadmap for the future. The concept is simple, establish strong communications amongst government organizations, provide the resources they need and ensure a coordinated plan is in place to address the threats facing our nation.<br> <br> Please take a few minutes to print the rationale and proclamation pages of this site and mail them to your Congressmen and Senator.
