USA the new NAZI state!
So far, only one state, Virginia, has successfully passed “anti-NDAA” legislation. Resolutions have already passed in the following cities: Berkeley, Calif., Fairfax, Calif., Santa Cruz, Calif., Cherokee City, Kan., Northampton, Mass., Takoma Park, Md., Macomb, N.Y. and New Shorehampton, R.I.
Several states seek to nullify the “indefinite detention” provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
Activists and legislators across the country are fighting back against the 2012 NDAA which authorizes the military to detain U.S. citizens without a trial.
Yesterday, two states, Indiana and South Carolina, saw victories for their respective “anti-NDAA” bills as they passed senate committee hearings.
At least 11 other states are currently battling to reach the same threshold.
Those states include Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington state.
Passing committee and reaching a vote is only one step in making the bills come to fruition.
Once the legislation is approved in one house, it must be approved in the other, and the final bill is either signed or vetoed by the state’s governor.
Two bills addressing the 2012 NDAA have been shot down so far this legislative session, in Mississippi and Wyoming. The latter saw its legislation pass committee but died before reaching the floor for a vote.
The battle isn’t just happening at the state level, though. Several cities and counties have acted locally to protect their citizens from indefinite detainment through ordinances.
