GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT: So theres this caption going around - TopicsExpress



          

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT: So theres this caption going around Facebook stating that President Obama has given himself the power to detain sick Americans. We need to get our facts straight. The Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code #264) was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 1, 1944. It authorized the Surgeon General, with the approval of the Secretary, to make and enforce regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States, or from one State into any other State. It has since been amended several times by several different presidents. President Obama is certainly not the first. In 2003, and 2005 President Bush amended this act to include Cholera, SARS, and Influenza. Whats next? Are we going to blame him for our chipped windshields or maybe the fact that the Mexican Food we ate last night gave us gas?
