DO NOT ALLOW YOUR RIGHTS TO BE TAKEN FROM YOU

  Oppose Enemy Expatriation Act That Strips Citizenship 

The most egregious legislation negatively affecting our once constitutionally guaranteed liberties lately seems to come via a “national security”  rationale. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and its “indefinite detention” clause is a classic example of liberty-robbing legislation that ignores constitutional restraints put in place to protect against tyranny. Our current leaders seem content to cooperate with these assaults on freedoms, or haven’t the courage to stand up against the encroaching tyranny because they continue to offer excuses for voting for such abuses.

To quote The New American’s Joe Wolverton II, J.D., on the NDAA’s indefinite detention, “Under the provisions of Section 1021, the President is afforded the absolute power to arrest and detain citizens of the United States without their being informed of any criminal charges, without a trial on the merits of those charges, and without a scintilla of the due process safeguards protected by the Constitution of the United States.” This provision gives the President “absolute power to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected (by him) of being ‘belligerents,'” Wolverton added, for those who had any doubt about the effect of the bill.
