SERVICE
Some day, when one person asks another, What service were
you in?, instead of the automatic military response, the other would
reply: I was a fireman, or I was a
policeman, or school teacher, or nurse.
We should honor these people who work in the caring professions, who do
not kill or injure, who do no harm or train to kill or harm, but who enhance
life and train to protect life. Dick

FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE

A fire
department or fire brigade (also known as a fire
and rescue service or simply fire service) is a public orprivate organization
that provides predominantly emergency firefighting and rescue services
for a certain jurisdiction, which is typically a municipality,
county, or fire protection district. A fire department usually contains one or
more fire stations within its
boundaries, and may be staffed by career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, or a
combination thereof (referred to as acombination department).[1]
A fire department
may also provide "fire protection" or fire
prevention services, whereby firefighters visit homes and give fire safety
advice and fit smoke alarms for members of the public. In many countries fire
protection or prevention is seen as an important role for the fire service, as
preventing a fire from occurring in the first place can save lives and
property.
Most public or
municipal fire departments also carry out an enforcement role, to ensure that
buildings (homes, hotels, offices, factories, and so on) are equipped with
adequate fire precautions to limit
the chances of fire and ensure that in the event of fire, people can safely
evacuate the premises unharmed. This is also part of the protection or
prevention role.

KILLING ROCK-THROWERS
Dear Dick,
Here is a new Progressive Secretary letter. You will be able to edit your name, address, etc. in the next step.
Here is a new Progressive Secretary letter. You will be able to edit your name, address, etc. in the next step.
This letter supports a campaign by Presente.org asking
President Obama to stop using murder as
a response to rock-throwing at the US-Mexican border.
Our letter will be sent to the President.
Our Border Patrol is countering rock-throwing civilians with
lethal force. Human rights groups are outraged by the increasing number
of deaths inflicted by enforcement officers. In other countries, rock throwing
is often countered with tasers or an unpleasant chemical that can be sprayed on
people or cars.
A recent independent review of our Border Patrol recommended further training and better record keeping, which is all very well. But without acting to curb Border Patrol violence, we are sending the message that killing Latin Americans is acceptable.
North America needs to show the world that we
value peoples' lives. Let's explore other means of responding to rock throwers.
President Obama, please intercede at once to end this irresponsible violence.
