NDAA 2012 UPDATE



 

Since I came back into the world of politics, and discovered that Congress had passed yet another law that massacres the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Bill of Rights, I have been e-mailing President Obama, all of my local representatives, and everyone else that I can think of, trying to put the pressure on to get this bill amended. I hope that millions of others are doing the same. This bill is bar none, the most dangerous bill that has ever been allowed to become a law in this nation, ever! I found this page today on Wiki that is rather informative, for those of you who need more details.

I have been embedded in long time arguements with both democrats and republicans on the details of where this nation is headed, the poor job that our elected officials are doing to truely represent the people that 'hired' them to shape the future of our country, and many other subjects, but none come close to the magnitude that this subject carries, because this subject affects every single American equally...for it is our very freedom, for life, that is at stake.

I have found another place where people can e-mail their State Representatives and let them know how you feel about this law. Just click one of the links on the right. ( support, oppose, tracking) I truely hope, democrat and republicans alike, make their voices heard loudly regarding this travesty.

National Defense Authorization Act

National Defense Authorization Act

“The only provision from which U.S. citizens are exempted here is the“requirement” of military detention,” Greenwald writes. “For foreign nationals accused of being members of Al Qaeda, military detention is mandatory; for U.S. citizens, it is optional. This section does not exempt U.S citizens from the presidential power of military detention: only from the requirement of military detention.”(1)

This is what happens when Americans fall asleep and follow their government with blinders on. The laws that were passed during the Bush administration began what is becoming the eradication of the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It is the responsibility of the people to ALWAYS keep their government in-check, making sure that they are following both the laws of the land, and the will of the people.. in not doing so, we the people, are losing the most valuable rights that this country has. The very laws that this country was based upon are being trashed in the name of fear, that's how it begins people.

More and more people are completely losing faith that ANY real number of politicians will be elected to office that will truely be there to enforce the will of the people, and bring this country to the greatness that she was always meant to be. With the passage of this law, it is my hope that people will be awakened to their civic responsibilities, and the absolute importance to NEVER follow their government blindly. I believe that MORE protest need to be staged so that people may make their views known, and be more assured that our government knows that THEY WORK FOR US, and that we.. the people of the United States, will not be forced into a communist nation as other countries in the past have been.
