Avoid Slavery - Support HR3785

Vote "yes" for H.R.3785: congressional bill to

repeal provisions for concentration camps under Section 1021 of NDAA

WARNING:  PETITIONING GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES IS "BELLIGERENT" AND MAKES PEOPLE ELIGIBLE FOR INDEFINITE MILITARY DETENTION IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS UNDER SECTION 1021 OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT (NDAA) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012

Before NDAA was signed on December 31, 2011, Americans had a protected right to free speech, freedom of press, religion, and peaceful assembly as well as a right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. However, with the passage of NDAA, belligerence became grounds for indefinite military detention in concentration camps. "Belligerence" is defined as having angry, aggressive feelings; being quarrelsome or contentious. Speaking, writing, and assembling to express disagreement with any government act, law, or policy are belligerent (contentious) acts. Petitioning the government for a redress of grievances is necessarily a belligerent act in that such petitions demonstrate that one has a quarel with elitist decision makers in some respect.

On January 18, 2012, Rep. Ron Paul introduced H.R.3785 to repeal section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3785/show  - OpenCongress.org registers votes for and against congressional bills. One hundred percent (100%) of voters have voted FOR H.R.3785 to date. OpenCongress.org records less than 90 votes as of February 17, 2012. Lack of participation is surprising since H.R.3785 would eliminate the threat of concentration camp internment for exercising the freedoms Americans used to have under the Bill of Rights. Perhaps Americans do not know about H.R.3785. At the Martin Luther King Day celebration in Atlanta, I discovered that most people did not even know about NDAA. Another observation is that on my view, OpenCongress.org has links to over 400 blogs written regarding H.R.3785, but the links seem to be repeats of only five blogs. That may be my cyberstalkers at work. The censorship force is capable of making IP-specific views of any online data. In other words, what I see on a web page may not be what you see.

See the official summary for H.R.3785 below:

1/18/2012--Introduced.Repeals the affirmation in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 that the Presidential authority under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (P.L. 107-40) includes the authority for the U.S. Armed Forces, pending disposition under the law of war, to detain persons who:

Below is an excerpt from the Illinois First Amendment Center explaining the five basic rights Americans lost on its web site http://www.illinoisfirstamendmentcenter.com/petition.php - Illinois happens to be is the state where President Obama was a senator before becoming president.

You think life isn’t fair sometimes?

Once upon a time if you didn’t like the king or queen’s decisions you couldn’t say a word... and if you did... you would land yourself in some hot water...

No really, they could boil you.

Back in 1215 people wanted to be able to petition their government on righting wrongs... addressing the issues brought forth by the people... without being beaten or thrown in jail.  The right to petition was enumerated in the Declaration of Independence — which was a statement telling the world just why the United States was rebelling against King George III.

I used the definition from a children's online library. I used the explanation of Americans' five basic freedoms from a site prepared for young students. This was done in hopes that everyone will understand what has been lost through passage of NDAA and the importance of supporting H.R.3785 to reverse that. Yes, Rep. Ron Paul, a Republican, introduced H.R.3785. To ignore the opportunity to eliminate the threat of concentration camp internment because of prejudice would be equivalent to a person having fallen over a cliff, landed on a weak ledge, and refusing to take hold of a rope from someone of a certain race or political party. "No thanks. I will just stay on this ledge that is breaking and wait for a Democrat."

A woman was reading to her grandson the words of renowned civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they haven't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.” The child looked at his grandmother in awe and whispered, "Grandma, did you really used to have all those rights when you were young?"
