Hey all, quick post before I go to sleep. As many of you know the National Defense Authorization Act was signed by Obama and is now law. I wrote a post about it a few weeks back if you don't know what it is. Basically, it allows anyone the U.S. government considers to be a terrorist to be indefinitely detained without trial. Given, this new law is not the first to suggest that a citizen could be detained, it is an extreme law and is putting the activist community in quite a huff. And rightly so. No matter if a law was in place before this or if it is just now that the law has been put into place, people should not be indefinitely detained without trial. No matter if a certain clause of the bill implies this or that if it allows for this I don't support it. And nether does the Bill of Rights.
Lawmakers are still fighting against this new law, so take a minute out of your day and
send this message to your senators to support California Senator Dianne Feinstein's Due Process Guarantee Act. This act will take a step towards counteracting this new law. I'm not saying it's the end-all-be-all, I mean really this law should never have even been passed, but it is important to do what we can to let our representatives know where we stand on issues like these. Sending along a message takes only a few seconds and gets the message across that we don't support NDAA.Thanks all, goodnight!
