Patriot, Did you know the Biden administration has the power right now to detain (that is, imprison) Americans like you and me indefinitely and without trial? It’s been a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act since 2012. This is a flagrantly unconstitutional and dangerous provision that allows the president to throw people he deems “enemies of the state” into prison without ever being charged with a crime. No president should ever have that power. Just consider the citizens now being accused of “domestic terrorism” simply for speaking out at school board meetings, praying in front of clinics, or disagreeing with the ruling elites. Under the 2012 NDAA, these citizens – people like you and me – could be held by the government indefinitely, our due process rights stripped away! But right now, you and I can end indefinite detention of Americans once and for all. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is moving forward again: the members of the conference committee have been named. This is the special committee created when the House and Senate pass different versions of a bill. Conferees from each house come together to hash out the differences and create a new bill which must then be passed by each house. Thanks to your emails, postcards, and phone calls, you and I ensured this odious
provision was repealed in the version of the NDAA passed by the House. However, the Senate failed to adopt this critical amendment in its version. We must make certain the House demands the repeal of indefinite detention be included in the final bill! Right now, the momentum is on our side. But I’m concerned, Patriot, we could also LOSE if not enough patriots keep up the pressure. Historically, the worst things can happen in conference committee – even adding new elements to the bill that were in neither the original House nor Senate-passed versions. It’s not uncommon to see spending bills that spend more money than either the House or the Senate voted to pass in their original bills. And the negotiations happen behind closed doors, so you and I likely won’t know what made it into the final bill until it’s on its way to a final vote. That’s why it’s crucial you call your representative at (202) 224-3121 and DEMAND they repeal the indefinite detention of Americans without charges. Here is a simple script you can use, whether you get a live answer or an answering machine: Hello, this is [your name] from
[your city and state]. I’m calling to tell you to repeal the provision included in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act that allows for
indefinite detention of American citizens without due process. I’m asking you demand the NDAA conference committee support the repeal of indefinite detention of Americans without trial, as was passed in the original House version of the bill this summer. Please pass my message on to the representative and ask him/her to tell the committee to include this repeal in the final bill. Thank you. Your calls made a huge difference in getting this amendment through the House a couple of months ago. Now, I need your help to ensure representatives hold firm to keep it in the final bill. You and I simply MUST keep up the pressure. We won in the House. Now they need to hold the line! Call your Representative RIGHT NOW at (202) 224-3121. The votes could come at any time, so don’t hesitate.
