Senator McCain (R-AZ) has co-authored S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Section 1031 of this bill will allow the U.S. military to capture and detain indefinitely an American citizen on U.S. soil who the President suspects is involved in terrorism. Thus, this bill will deny U.S. citizens basic Constitutional rights such as the right to a trial, to bail, to an attorney, to be presented with the charges against them and other rights and protections afforded to all Americans under the U.S. Constitution. That's not the worst of it. Not only does this bill strip U.S. citizens suspected of being involved in terrorism of their Constitutional rights, Section 1031 also essentially repeals the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by authorizing the U.S. military to perform law enforcement functions on American soil.
McCain, of all people, should know the effects of totalitarian governments, but apparently he's forgotten the 5 years he spent being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton. Why in God's name would we need the military to capture a "suspected" terrorist here at home when near every police force in the country now has a paramilitary "swat" team????? And speaking of "suspected terrorists", that's YOU if you are a "disaffected" veteran or a Tea Party supporter according to Janet Napolitano and the rest of Obama's commie cronies. Make no mistake about it, they are working very hard behind the scenes to outlaw private gun ownership. Fast and Furious was not a program screwed up by incompetent BATF managers, it was a deliberate plan to give them a good excuse for their next step, outlawing all semi automatic weapons.
Senator Paul has introduced a bill to repeal section 1031. If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. The internet / email has made it so simple to write to your elected officials. Please send them a note and tell them to back Senator Pauls repeal.
Yours in Liberty,
Dumb Farmer
