President Barack Obama signed an executive order giving the Department of Homeland Security the ability to shut down all of the United States’ communications systems upon his request. Barack Obama laid out a statement he titled “Assignment of National Security Emergency Preparedness Communications Function”. No doubt a very confusing title. The reasoning behind his issuing of this executive order, is that he feels the government may one day need to access all of our telephones, computers, cable communications, etc., in the name of national security. “The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive mission.” The American public should be concerned about what this “mission” could be. In a presidential election, one candidate’s mission may not be the same as his . “Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies and improve national security.
