45 people killed in the mid-west! And the death-toll is still climbing!

This incomprehensible tragedy dwarfs the killings at Littleton!

And SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

President Clinton and many lawmakers such as Diane Feinstein are
reacting swiftly to take full advantage of the public shock and emotional
outrage generated by this terrible tragedy! Grey Davis of California
has pledged to ensure California will have the toughest possible laws
to prevent such tragedies in the future!

Many lawmakers around the nation today have announced many State and
Federal Bills they say would have prevented these deaths and all similar
deaths IF these laws they are now proposing would have been in place
before this inexcusable slaughter occurred!

The media too is jumping on the bandwagon! Many editorials have been
published already condemning these deaths and placing blame on what
they consider to be the root-cause of such deaths!

Even the Internet community has waded into the debate. Newsgroups and
web-sites all over the Internet are decrying the people they call
"Pro-Death" or just plain "wackos" for stating that these newly proposed
laws won't help prevent such killings, but in fact claim that these
new laws will cause more deaths!

The NWS has come out STRONGLY against these proposed life-saving new
laws, as has the NWA! The news media has announced membership in the NWA
is going to fall off drastically because of this tragedy. A national
convention for meteorologists has been scaled back to just one meeting of
the Executive Board. Protesters in the thousands are expected to voice
their disgust towards the members of the NWA and ALL Americans who
still insist on watching the wether report! The primary propaganda
wing of these Pro-Death groups known as NOAA, has been defying
public sentiment by continuing to broadcast.

The new laws being proposed by the President would out-law tornadoes
and all forms of meteorology. They would impose severe penalties on
ANY person who watches the weather and who unlawfully passes this
information to others. These laws are also aimed at stopping the
irresponsible operators and makers of weather satellites. 

This Pro-Death group claims that these deaths were NOT the fault
of weather-persons but instead were acts of God. The reaction from Christian
groups to placing the blame on God was swift and universal. Speaking
for ALL Christians Pat Robertson has denounced the weather-persons for
putting the blame on God. Robertson is quoted as saying "These Pro-Death
people simply want to tell their lies and push the blame for their
own acts, God is simply their "scape-goat" for their own irresponsible
acts. These Pro-Death people have for decades tried to blame God and all
the while they have stood in the way of all efforts to prevent these
tragedies!"

The tornados thought to be directly responsible for these heartless
killings are being sought by all law enforcement agencies. Photographs
of these killers are being circulated and the assistance of the public
is being asked. Please, if you think you see these killers, DO NOT
APPROACH them, instead report what you have seen to the nearest 
Law enforcement agency.
