Just announced, the White House will sign into law a bill that will allow citizens to be arrested, detained forever, tortured and never charged with a crime…
I wonder if they’re already working on the logistical plans to start arresting people?
WOW. KISS YOUR FORMERLY FREE ARSES GOODBYE
Please, everyone, contact the White House to let your opposition to these provisions be known. The President’s senior advisers are recommending that the reconciled bill (House/Senate) with new provisions for Presidential (rather than Secretary of DOD) discretion is now on Obama’s desk, but Robert Reich (who is now advising Obama’s election campaign and is Clinton’s former Secretary of the Department of Labor) is allied with freedom of speech and assembly and may help us be heard in opposition to these MILITARY seizure of US citizens on US soil and indefinitely detaining them without counsel, charges or trial, thereby suspending habeas corpus in a time when we are not in a declared war. The war against terror is the war against FEAR. FEAR is amorphous and can be interpreted many ways. FEAR of the Truth is common in these times. We cannot let this bill be signed into law without voicing our opposition.
Dr. Ron Paul (Republican candidate for President) would not sign this bill into law and neither would Dr. Jill Stein (Green Party candidate for President.) Please check out this link to a petition to protect the First Amendment of which Dr. Stein is the first signer. https://www.firstamendmentpledge.org/?utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=website
Good post, I totally agree. If I may deviate off topic and highlight that despite shelling out taxation to the governing administration and sending our citizens to fight and die in every war, Washingtonians have had no voting representation in Congress and have had to seek out acceptance from individuals they did not elect on all legal and monetary matters. That my friends is crime against society, and America. Let’s hope it’ll change soon. Cheers.
