Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americanism and Preparedness: Speeches of Theodore Roosevelt, July to November, 1916 I come here to Maine to advocate the election of Charles E. Hughes as President of the United States, and the election of a Senate and House of Representatives to support him, and to give some of the reasons why in my judgment it would be a grave misfortune for the people of the United States to re-elect Mr. Wilson. I make no merely partisan appeal. I ask the support of all good citizens for our cause. I ask the support of all good Americans. And I not merely ask, but demand as a matter of right, that every citizen voting this year shall consider the question at issue from the standpoint of America, and not from the standpoint of any other nation. The root idea of American citizenship, the necessary prerequisite for patriotic service at home, and for service to mankind at large, is that there shall be in our citizenship no dual allegiance. There must be no divided loyalty between this country and the country from which any of our citizens, or the ancestors of any of our citizens, have come. The policy of the United States must be shaped with a view to two conditions only: first, with a view to the honor and interest of the United States, and second, with a view to the interest of the world as a whole. It is therefore our high and solemn duty, both to prepare our own strength so as to guarantee our own safety, and also to treat every foreign nation, in any given crisis, as its conduct in that crisis demands. The citizen who does not so act, and who endeavors to shape America's policy in the interest of the country from which he or his ancestors have sprung, is no true American, and has no moral right to citizenship in this country. Any attempt to organize American citizens along politico-racial lines is a foul and evil thing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disaster preparedness became a renewed priority for our nation as a direct response to the devastation of 9/11. Government at all levels has imbedded stronger collaboration with non-governmental civic and private sector org. and the general public in policies and practices. The Citizen Corps grassroots model of community preparedness has spread across the country, and Americans have been asked to become fully aware, trained, and practiced on how to respond to potential threats and hazards. To evaluate the nation¿s progress on personal preparedness, FEMA conducted national household surveys to measure the public¿s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors relative to preparing for a range of hazards. This report is a summary of those findings.

Download or read book Survivalist Family Prepared Americans for a Strong America written by Joseph Fox and published by . This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just what IS a "survivalist family"? instead of "survivalist family" we could say "prepared family" or talk about "family preparedness" but that is just so politically correct it makes one sick. Just because the media don't like survivalists and therefore vilify them does not mean we have to change our language. For our purposes, the Survivalist Family is defined as, "A multi-generational group of people living in one house (usually consisting of a father, mother and their offspring) who take positive steps as a cohesive group to prepare for possible future negative situations and circumstances beyond their control." This book will guide you through all that is necessary to be prepared for future uncertainty.

Download or read book Pivot Points written by Paul T. Martin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many Americans lack the know-how and provisions to adequately handle even a small disaster-be it man-made or natural. Meanwhile, the image of the disaster prepper as either paranoid or actively hoping for social disruption has become commonplace. It's time to face the sad truth: the disaster preparedness movement in America has failed. In Pivot Points, experienced disaster "prepper" Paul T. Martin argues for a shift in how America views disaster preparation. Instead of their dismissing prepping as a hobby or the result of an overactive imagination, Martin challenges individuals, emergency management professionals, and community leaders to answer three vital questions: Do we need a culture of preparedness in America? What should that culture look like? How do we create that culture? Martin challenges readers to discover their "pivot points," those sources of motivation for preparing both themselves and their communities for disaster. For some, motivations might center on family safety. For others, a sense of citizenship or religious beliefs might drive their preparedness. By exploring different pivot points, we create a more resilient, inclusive culture of preparedness, transforming the reader into an advocate for public safety and creating better preparation in private and public spheres.
Download or read book Vested Interest and Preparedness Policy written by Nicholas E. Winters and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural disasters take place throughout the United States many times annually, from localized storms to hurricanes or earthquakes affecting many states. The federal government develops and implements preparedness policies, which are then translated into state, county, and municipality preparedness policies. Individual and family preparedness is a component of these preparedness policies; however, existing federal preparedness policies fail to prompt American individuals and families to prepare for natural disasters. The purpose of this study is to understand how the failures of the current preparedness policies contribute to the lack of individual and family preparedness and the political, social, and psychological factors that drive individuals and families to prepare—or not—for disasters. The theoretical framework for this study is Thorstein Veblen’s (1919) vested interest theory, applied to the behaviors of individuals in relation to preparedness policy. The research questions focus on the factors that influence Americans’ willingness and ability to prepare for disasters. A combination of survey analysis, policy evaluation, and case study analysis is used to investigate potential explanations for individuals and families failing to prepare. The results of this study indicate there are four primary factors influencing individuals’ and families’ level of disaster preparedness: preparedness beliefs, preparedness knowledge, preparedness behaviors, and preparedness actions. Using vested interest theory, this study proposes an explanatory model for individual and family disaster preparedness, the Vested Interest Preparedness Model (VIPM), which shows how preparedness beliefs and knowledge influence increased or decreased preparedness behaviors and actions; increasing beliefs and knowledge will increase behaviors and actions.

Download or read book Armed Progressive written by and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gen. Leonard Wood?s meteoric career was no fluke. The ambitious Wood (1860?1927), serving as an army physician, strategically took on tasks and assignments that led him from the pursuit of Geronimo in the deserts of the Southwest (for which he won the Medal of Honor) to chief of staff of the U.S. Army and almost to the presidency of the United States. During his rise to high office, the darker side of Wood?s personality became legend. Able administrator and sincere patriot, Wood, together with friend Theodore Roosevelt, organized the famous ?Rough Riders? during the Spanish-American War. Unfortunately, Wood possessed a consuming and obsessive ambition, as well as the willingness to advance his own interests over the ruin of others and in the face of political disapproval. Despite personal rivalries and feuds, Wood earned national prominence with his successes as a colonial administrator in Cuba and the Philippines, yet he was denied the two things he wanted most: an active role in the fighting of World War I and the presidency of the United States. ø Armed Progressive, a critical study of Wood?s quest for power and his tremendous achievements, helps us to understand this pivotal figure who played such a dominant role at the turn of the century. Jack C. Lane provides historical insight and political assessment and captures the essence of this capable, ambitious, proud, bigoted, and self-righteous man.
