A mere 3 criminal charges of terrorism a year are attributed to this act, which is mainly used for no-knock raids leading to drug-related arrests without proper cause for search and seizure. The laws are simply a means to spy on our own citizens and to detain and torture dissidents without trial or a right to council. You can read much more about living in this Orwellian society of fear and see my visual response to these measures on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09/living-in-society-of-fear-ten-years.html The NDAA only goes to further stifle our Constitutional Rights without the approval of the Americans, just as the Patriot Act was adopted WITHOUT public approval or vote just weeks after the events of 9/11.

While Rep. Paul's bill is the strongest vehicle to repeal them and restore due process and the right to trial, concerned Americans can also take action where we each live. Visit www.bordc.org/ndaa for campaign materials, including a resolution through which YOUR city council could raise its voice...if approached by concerned constituents demanding action.

That story can only be found with a search for "New police weapon against homeless" and also "Historic coverup of FBI and police crimes currently taking place". It is worse than the titles suggest.
