Senators Demand the Military Lock Up American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window
While nearly all Americans head to family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, the Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.
Senators need to hear from you, on whether you think your front yard is part of a “battlefield” and if any president can send the military anywhere in the world to imprison civilians without charge or trial.
The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night’s Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.
The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing.
I know it sounds incredible. New powers to use the military worldwide, even within the United States? Hasn’t anyone told the Senate that Osama bin Laden is dead, that the president is pulling all of the combat troops out of Iraq and trying to figure out how to get combat troops out of Afghanistan too? And American citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged with a crime. Really? Does anyone think this is a good idea? And why now?
The answer on why now is nothing more than election season politics. The White House, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General have all said that the indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act are harmful and counterproductive. The White House has even threatened a veto. But Senate politics has propelled this bad legislation to the Senate floor.
But there is a way to stop this dangerous legislation. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is offering the Udall Amendment that will delete the harmful provisions and replace them with a requirement for an orderly Congressional review of detention power. The Udall Amendment will make sure that the bill matches up with American values.
In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial “American citizen or not.” Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because “America is part of the battlefield.”
The solution is the Udall Amendment; a way for the Senate to say no to indefinite detention without charge or trial anywhere in the world where any president decides to use the military. Instead of simply going along with a bill that was drafted in secret and is being jammed through the Senate, the Udall Amendment deletes the provisions and sets up an orderly review of detention power. It tries to take the politics out and put American values back in.
In response to proponents of the indefinite detention legislation who contend that the bill “applies to American citizens and designates the world as the battlefield,” and that the “heart of the issue is whether or not the United States is part of the battlefield,” Sen. Udall disagrees, and says that we can win this fight without worldwide war and worldwide indefinite detention.
The senators pushing the indefinite detention proposal have made their goals very clear that they want an okay for a worldwide military battlefield, that even extends to your hometown. That is an extreme position that will forever change our country.
Now is the time to stop this bad idea. Please urge your senators to vote YES on the Udall Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

Orly, I found this in the bill. Is this the part that you are concerned about?
“(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under
this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.”

The irony of all this is that the same people who decry the impounding of Japanese-Americans during World War II, who find that action morally reprehensible, ARE THE VERY ONES SUPPORTING THIS BILL !!!!

But isn’t, Udall a Democrat?

Check Google: On November 17. 2011 Obama signed a NEW BILL to jail 500,000 or More US citizens for the crime of opposing their government! 1200 architects and engineers who question 911 have been deemed TERRORISTS! Obana said US citizens are a threat to HIS nations security! Full story from eutimes.net posted on Dr. Kate.

Paul,
does March 2009 authorization include military force within the US in violation of posse commitatus?
November 27th, 2011 @ 5:04 am
This law is passed every year. It’s not exactly new. Here’s a link to the bill…
https://armedservices.house.gov/index.cfm/files/serve?File_id=a34ce3db-80b0-4c82-8103-7098deb1751b
According to reports in the press, Section 1034 is the section added that everyone is up in arms about.
“Section 1034—Affirmation of Armed Conflict with Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Associated
Forces
This section would affirm that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with al
Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force
(Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section would also affirm that the President’s
authority pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force includes the authority to detain
certain belligerents until the termination of hostilities.
The committee notes that as the United States nears the tenth anniversary of the attacks
on September 11, 2001, the terrorist threat has evolved as a result of intense military and
diplomatic pressure from the United States and its coalition partners. However, Al Qaeda, the
Taliban, and associated forces still pose a grave threat to U.S. national security. The
Authorization for Use of Military Force necessarily includes the authority to address the
continuing and evolving threat posed by these groups.
The committee supports the Executive Branch’s interpretation of the Authorization for
Use of Military Force, as it was described in a March 13, 2009, filing before the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia. While this affirmation is not intended to limit or alter the
President’s existing authority pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force, the
Executive Branch’s March 13, 2009, interpretation remains consistent with the scope of the
authorities provided by Congress.”

Hey Barbi Dee. Why don’t you spread a few more lies, okay?
The eutimes article is full of s***. That bill, H.R. 1955, was introduced in the 110th Congress, which adjourned in December 2008. Any bill not passed by both Houses before adjournment automatically died.
H.R. 1955 passed the House but not the Senate. It was never presented to Obama.
“This bill never became law. This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all proposed bills and resolutions that haven’t passed are cleared from the books.”
Go back to sixth grade.

Paul,

No, ma’am.
Additionally, the Posse Comitatus Act (contrary to popular belief) does not prohibit the use of military force within the U.S.
November 27th, 2011 @ 12:29 pm
Sec. 1032(b)(1) and (2) prohibit application of terrorist detention provisions to U.S. citizens and resident aliens. Sec. 1034 deals with funding facilities and says nothing about detention.
Clearly this is another scare, Orly, by the left. We can relax.
