Citizens Against the National Defense Authorization Act
[improve]
- Date: Sunday, December 4, 2011
- Time: 10:00am until 4:00pm
- Location: Portland Waterfront
- Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.
Purpose
PLEASE READ ALL, YOUR RIGHTS IN URGENT JEOPARDY
- WE THE PEOPLE
- Must protect our constitutional rights which are now in jeopardy by an act that would effectively declare the government's war on its people.
- We must peaceably assemble and protest against the "Defense Authorization Bill" which will effectively turn our nation into a battlefield.
- The ACLU’s Washington legislative office explains
"In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will 'basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield' and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial 'American citizen or not.' Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because 'America is part of the battlefield.' "
On Monday, the Senate defeated the Udall amendment to this bill and passed 37-61. If passed as written, it would allow our government and military to arrest ANYONE ANYWHERE, and detain them indefinitely without charges or trial or any form of due process, defense or justice...purely on "suspicion of terrorism."
This bill would effectively strip our right of "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," our constitutional right.
- WE MUST ACT TO STOP THIS -- NOW!
- AGENDA PLAN
- Make your posters and signs to oppose the NDAA.
- We will gather at the fountain and have an announcement and open forum speaking at the Waterfront on SW Salmon and SW Naito Parkway.
- 11:00am we will be marching around downtown to protest.
- more info once I know more from other supporters and committees.
