Top Issues Facing Responders:

Money Money Money and I can't forget the Politicans keep them out of the way and Emergency Resonders can do there jobs. They always want to balance the budget with Emergency Responders. Bring home the military and stop all that spending over seas and the United States wouldn't be broke. The USA can't servive without our responders so leave them alone and make sure they are equipted with the best. Just my thoughts.
