Gingrich endorses SHIELD Act, praises Maine EMP legislation
Says Center President Frank Gaffney is “fighting tirelessly to inform the American people”
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich praises Maine State Rep. Andrea Boland for her successful efforts to adopt model legislation protecting against Electromagnetic Pulse events, and Center President Frank Gaffney for “fighting tirelessly to inform the American people” about the EMP threat. Gingrich notes it would be worse than a nuclear attack in a single city because it could hobble the entire country. He notes that natural EMP events like the Carrington Event of 1859 would be a disaster in today’s technology-dependent society. He endorses Rep. Trent Frank’s “SHIELD Act” as a means to protect the population from this threat.
Our mission is to secure America’s founding principles and freedom through forthright national security analysis and policy solutions.
