For those requesting info on which congressman recommended a three month supply of food and water, it was Rep. Horn. He made the statement Monday night on Fox News.

If this is true, the sh*t is deeper than any of us thought. Hate to sound like Paul Davis, but unless I see a URL I can't believe it. A of the foxnews site shows no such report.

Hi for real

A three month supply of food is very demanding to accumulate but not impossible. Water on the other hand for an average family will be very very difficult. I guess one can only keep saving the empty jusg and fill them. I have a backup water supply if my inventory is depleted. It is a waterfilter that will filter rain, snow and swimmingpool water into drinking water. The address ------ http://www.atkinsid.com/bottle.htm ------- if you put "Duane" anywhere on the form he gives Y2Kers a 5% discount. I hope Rep. Horn is not correct in his estimate. However, one has to be ready and cover all the bases.

Thank you PMM. It is amazing how Y2K can seem like a game of Post Office sometimes. No offense to for real intended.

We need a link to this one. What area is this FOx broadcast from? Maybe we can narrow it down.

what rep horn has to say is very nice for DGIs maybe, but i for one am not basing my personal plans on what any politician has to say.
