Seriously? The President is about to sign the NBAA which says that anyone who is a threat to disrupting America’s political systems can be arrested and held ( indefinitly) with no explanation of arrest, if the “homeland security” decides it’s a threat of terrisiom. Both foriegn and domestic. That would be Americans. I personally feel like this is evidence that the Occupy movement has the attenion of the Big Guns and they are threatened by people gathering and organizing. We need to stop this legislation from becoming law. If we don’t, we’ll all our rights to free speech, every occupier could be arrested and held indefinitly.

I think Obama is doing the sign by default. If he does not veto in 10 days it automatically is “signed”.
I think you mean NDAA.
Now this is an issue that affects all of us both locally and nation wide. This should be a focus immediately and should have an immediate action to influence the President. He can still veto this if he hears enough reasoned opposition. What would be the most effective way to let him know?
You can call the White House now at (202) 456-1414 to demand that President defend the Bill of Rights by giving this bill his veto.
Then you need to call your Congresspeople to let them know that you do not want the veto overriden.
Protests aren’t enough folks. Calling the White House is a direct action of which anyone with a phone is capable.
