[GPSCC-chat] S.B. 1867 - Bad News

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

Gerry

P.S. I am leaving for a few hours, and don't have time
to look at the bill myself, right now.


==========================================

 From Pat Gray:
There is a positively AWFUL bill being sneaked into the Senate on a fast 
track.  This bill will kill any semblance we have left of democracy or 
civil rights in our nation.

S.B. 1867  The National Defense Authorization Act.

This bill will allow the American military to imprison American citizens 
under the "worldwide indefinite detention with out charge or trial" part 
of this bill.  This bill also repeals the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. 
This was done by the Patriot Act but only by interpretation.  This act 
spells it out.  This bill authorizes the U.S. military to perform law 
enforcement functions on American soil.

The occupiers better be careful.  This could be another Kent State event 
where demonstrators are shot dead.

Everyone MUST contact Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to DEMAND that 
they vote NO on this bill.

I know the Greens are gearing up to have candidates on the ballot.  I 
think Greens must also make a plea to the voters not to vote for any 
incumbent.   THe entire Congress is corrupt to the bone.  Check their 
voting record.  1% all the way and the hell with the 99%.

If we could get people to vote after paying attention to the voting 
record rather than whether there is a little d or an r after a candidate 
name, maybe we could open up the two party system to include the other 
parties on the ballot---like GREENS!

The two ladies I mention above both voted for the wars, the tax cuts for 
the rich, the deregulation of the banks, the trillions of dollars given 
to Wall St. with no strings attached as well as not even allowing Single 
Payer, Medicare for all to come up for a vote.  Plus which both of these 
ladies have been accused of using insider information in their stock 
buying.  It is not against the law for members of Congress to do this. 
Plus, they are both millionaires and vote to make things nice for their 
social class---and you ain't in it.  They don't concern themselves with 
the 99% which is why they both need to feel a boot on their butt.  Kick 
them out!
