How the NDAA Directly Threatens Average Americans, and How You Can Take Action Now

The NDAA turns the U.S. government into a dictatorship, the U.S. military into ‘secret police’Journalists rarely take a vocal stand against legislation in order to remain objective, but sometimes new laws are such an egregious assault on our basic rights to democracy and freedom that we have a duty to speak up.

This is the case with the National Defense Authorization Act, a relatively new law that gives the U.S. military the power to detain anyone without trial indefinitely, further criminalizing dissent and investigative journalism in the United States.

  • What does the NDAA do? 

The NDAA gives the federal government the power to behave like dictators and arrest any American citizen, or anyone for that matter, without warrant and indefinitely detain them in offshore prisons without charge and keep them there until “the end of hostilities.”

The  American Civil Liberties Union, calls the law a “catastrophic blow to civil liberties”.

Obama lied to the public and said he would veto the NDAA’s indefinite detention clauses.  Instead, he surreptitiously signed the NDAA into law on Dec. 31, 2011 while most Americans were distracted celebrating New Years Eve.  Both Romney and Obama have publicly stated their support for the new law.

  • “I’m not doing anything wrong, I don’t need to worry about the NDAA” 

You do need to worry.
