More Security is Not What America Needs Today

Marshall Adame
America’s Federal Government has plenty of armed / intelligence agencies today.

National Intelligence Agency (NIA)

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)

The Treasury’s United States Secret Service (USSS)

Department of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms (ATF)

Transportation Security Agency (TSA)

The IRS armed enforcement branch, the Criminal Investigation Service (IRS-CIS)

U.S. Marshall Service (USMS)

National Security Counsel (NSC)

National Security Agency (NSA)

US Department of Immigration Naturalization (INS)

Department of Defense (DoD)

State Department Security (DSS)

There are at least ten other U.S. Government security agencies NOT listed here.

Security is not our problem. Never was. None of the listed agencies are modest by any means. Hundreds of thousands of people report directly to them collectively.

Leadership, vision, inspiration, respect for Rule of Law and the U.S. Constitution, planning, direction and true love of country is critically wanting in the leadership now in Washington DC.


The Republican Party has allowed and even encouraged the direction of the President in his drive to assimilate power. Consequently, a deterioration of respect for fundamental rights and liberties of the individual citizen in America has become seemingly unending.

Our government was established on the foundation of respect and liberty of the individual. That foundation is being shaken today under the Bush administration.

We do not require additional security. Those assets were always available.

We need love of Country and selflessness back into our Federal Government. I wish I could say a political party was the answer to bringing us back to the intended direction of our founding fathers. It is not.

Individuals will do it. In all likelihood they will be from the ranks of the Democratic Party which has historically fought for the rights and liberties of the individual in America.

We Democrats really do historically value the premise of truth and justice as do many other Americans, but I believe those “other” Americans are counting on us to get it right for them. I hope we do. I really do.
