President Obama Signs NDAA on December 31, 2011
Tell Obama and Senate:
End Indefinite Detention Now!
To President Obama: You can put an end to indefinite detention. Having lost your request for reconsideration, I urge you not to further appeal the ruling by Judge Forrest that makes it clear that indefinite detention violates the Constitution. To My Senators: I urge you to stand with the Constitution and oppose indefinite detention during the debate on this year's NDAA.
50,000+ signatures so far! Add yours today. Avoid CAMPing trips.

More great news on the NDAA lawsuit: Federal Judge Kathryn Forrest just rejected the Obama administration's request that she reverse her ruling against indefinite detention.

In May, Chris Hedges, Revolution Truth, et al won their lawsuit asserting that indefinite detention violates the Constitution. More than 50,000 Demand Progress members have signed on as supporters of the lawsuit.
Obama requested a reversal of the decision, which was just rejected. Now Obama needs to decide if he'll take his crusade against the Constitution to a higher court. And the Senate is taking up indefinite detention as it debates this year's NDAA later this month.
Please sign up at right to urge Obama and the Senate to stop supporting indefinite detention.
Obama signed last year's National Defense Authorization Act even though it included provisions which could let the military detain civilians indefinitely without a trial or charges.

Despite a valiant effort by opponents, the House retained indefinite detention when it passed the new NDAA last month. The Senate will take it up soon, and President Obama can drop his defense of it in court.

THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED TO PEOPLE LIKE US http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ZhQrWQj7k&feature=youtu.be and is entitled "MTV Think Martial Law Commercials - National Defense Authorization Act - S.1867" - See the embedded video below. Freedom is at stake.
The New York Times covers the judge's ruling:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/
June 7, 2012 NY Times Excerpt: "The Obama administration had asked Judge Forrest to reconsider her ruling, saying that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to challenge the law and that it was “extraordinary” for her to have restrained future military operations that might be ordered by the commander in chief during wartime. As part of that request, the government said in a footnote that it was interpreting her injunction narrowly as applying only to the handful of people specifically named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including Chris Hedges, a journalist who interacts with terrorists as part of his reporting work, and several prominent supporters of WikiLeaks . . . [Judge Forrest said] contrary to the government’s narrow interpretation of it, her injunction applied broadly and not just to the named plaintiffs."http://www.nytimes.com/2012/
Rep. Ron Paul introduced a congressional bill to repeal the concentration camp provision in NDAA on January 18, 2012. He is censored, so many people never heard about H.R.3785. This is a link to officials for every state http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml . Please request that your representatives support H.R.3785 to repeal the unconstitutional, immoral detainment of any people in America without a defensible reason and fair trial.
Five(5) links are on this page. If some are removed or redirected, you and I will know once and for all who hired Mary Neal's cyberstalkers, right? Will America's next generation be born in concentration camps? See the woman in the photo below enduring labor pains in handcuffs and chains in prison. That is how little compassion authorities have. The 17-year-old was charged with shoplifting, which hardly seems worth this extreme penalty. But every prisoner, whether guilty or innocent, black or white, male or female, brings money to prison investors. Corporations can have a large slave labor pool filled with educated workers without paying minimum wage and union scale wages and benefits once Americans are in concentration camps. Traditionally, babies born to slaves are automatically slaves. Will America's next generation be born in concentration camps?
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ~Frederick Douglass
