PLEASE REPEAL NDAA AND UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION!!!

The Issue

We the American people are FED UP with legislation being passed without us knowing about it, and we're also TIRED of legislation that endangers us all and takes away our CONSTITUTIONAL rights!!! WE are DEMANDING, that Congress REPEALS the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA, H.R. 1540) entirely!!! WE are well aware of the many dangers of this bill and it blatantly and cowardly goes against the many values America was founded upon!!! Our founding fathers would be IRATE hearing of this DISGRACE of a law!!! The fact that it allows indefinite detention is going way TOO FAR!!! We are TIRED of being lied to by our officials in Washington. WE DO NOT, nor will EVER APPROVE of any laws that allow the ABUSIVE, ROGUE, INHUMANE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNJUST, CORRUPT and TREASONOUS behavior of the United States Military and the United States Government. Congress and the White House BOASTS EXTENSIVELY on how WE need to put an END to OPPRESSION, REPRESSION and INTOLERANCE worldwide, they want to legalize such behaviors in America!!! NDAA is not just TREASONOUS, it is also UNCONSTITUTIONAL and INHUMANE!!! It violates SEVEN of the TEN Amendments of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION based on what WE have READ, SEEN, HEARD and KNOW already...

THE FIRST AMENDMENT: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This means it protects the freedom of religion, speech, and the press, as well as the right to assemble and petition the government.

THE FOURTH AMENDMENT: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." This means it prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets out requirements for search warrants based on probable cause.

THE FIFTH AMENDMENT: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." It sets out rules for indictment by grand jury and eminent domain, protects the right to due process, and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy.

THE SIXTH AMENDMENT: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." This means it protects the right to a fair and speedy public trial by jury, including the rights to be notified of the accusations, to confront the accuser, to obtain witnesses and to retain counsel.

THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." This means it prohibits excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.

THE NINTH AMENDMENT: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It asserts the existence of unenumerated rights retained by the people.

THE TENTH AMENDMENT: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This explicitly limits the powers of the federal government to those delegated to it by the Constitution.

As YOU CAN SEE, WE have made our case as to why NDAA is the WORST law imaginable. We've seen the law, we've heard the arguments and we know the TRUE INTENTIONS of this law!!! WE WILL keep PROTESTING NDAA until it is REPEALED!!! WE WILL ALWAYS stand up against any legislation that threatens our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS...DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!! There are OTHER, MORE HUMANE, RATIONAL and CIVILIZED ways of combating TERRORISM than NDAA!!! DEATH to NDAA...ANYTHING ELSE is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Thank you for your time and I SINCERELY hope YOU WILL consider this and other letters and petitions calling for the REPEAL of NDAA in an EXPLICITLY SERIOUS MANNER!!! BECAUSE WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT OUR CONCERNS WITH NDAA!!!
