The Governor of OH: Act Against the NDAA

Act Against the NDAA

Dear Governor Kasich;

The NDAA is the single biggest evisceration of our Bill of Rights in our lifetime. Never before have the definitions of terrorist and terrorist supporter been so vague and defined so broadly; never before have we codified into law a president’s non-existent authority to arrest and detain American citizens on American soil. The arrest and detention provision of NDAA should in the words of Congressman Ron Paul, “chill us to our core.”

As Governor, your duty to protect Ohio's citizens is clear. Towards this end we are urging you to do the following immediately:

1. Issue a formal and official statement condemning this act by Congress.

2. Ask the state legislature to author and pass a bill of nullification rendering the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA void and of no force inside the State of Ohio. Sign this bill immediately upon passage.

3. Advise Ohio’s Sheriffs as the Chief Law Enforcement Officers in their Counties to meet any attempts to implement of these provisions in their counties with the appropriate force to prevent such implementation.

4. Issue an advisory letter to President Obama, Congress and the Secretary of Defense that the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA are unconstitutional and as such are no law at all. State that these provisions are in the words of Jefferson “un-authoritative, void and of no force” in Ohio.

5. Issue a letter of official dissatisfaction to Ohio’s US Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman who voted AYE for this act and to all members of Ohio’s delegation to the House of Representatives who voted AYE for this act: Steven Austria, Steve Chabot, Bob Gibbs, Bill Johnson, Jim Jordan Bob Latta, Jim Renacci, Jean Schmidt, Steve Stivers, Betty Sutton, Pat Tiberi, and Mike Turner . (The following Voted No: Marcia Fudge, Marcy Kaptur, Dennis Kucinich and Tim Ryan) (Steve LaTourette did not vote.)

6. Issue a State of the State address to the people of Ohio on your stand for liberty and why this action was necessary.

These perilous times in our history require a stand for freedom. Your actions in this regard for the cause of Liberty will be remembered in 2014.
