__//Barrack Obama//__ our Issue for domestic policys are homeland sercuity. __//FACTS//__ 9/11 3,000 people where killed we need better security beause that can still happen Senator Obama has voted in favor of distributing federal homeland security funds to states and cities most likely to be targeted by a terrorist attack. In 2006, Chicago obtained a $52.5 million grant for training and equipping emergency first responders, up 16% from the previous year's $45 million grant.llinois has at least 10 facilities from which a large-scale chemical release could threaten more than a million people, and an additional 20 facilities from which such a release could threaten more than 100,000 people The Chemical Security and Safety Act would establish a clear set of federal regulations that all plants must follow. Plants that are considered a high risk to large population areas or critical infrastructure would face more stringent standards. The bill would require chemical facilities to take steps to enhance security, including improving barriers, containment, mitigation, and safety training, and, where possible, using safer technology, such as less toxic chemicals or safer procedures.

Natural disasters.

Problem was we werent ready for that kind of disaster and the after effects. in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, improving our nation's emergency planning and response capacity has become a priority for Senator Obama. He introduced legislation to ensure that the mistakes witnessed before and after Katrina are not repeated in the future.We need to prepare for this that is whhy Barrack is giving loans to important states that could suffer from a natural disaster or terrist attck like chicago he gave 52.5 million for training and eqiupping emergency first responsers. Also chemical factories that could thrreaten people he is helping emprove safty and responding fast to a problem to help save more lives. If another major disaster occurs with Barrck we will be ready for them this time and decrease the death toll by a ton of people.
