December 9, 2011

Earlier this week we told you about Congress trying to rush a bill to the President鈥檚 desk that would authorize the military to go literally anywhere in the world to imprison civilians 鈥 even American citizens in the United States itself 鈥 without charge or trial. Prison based on suspicion alone.

But you certainly don鈥檛 need to take our word for it. In this new video, we鈥檝e compiled some of the most disturbing statements made by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), in support of the sweeping bill.

Despite the fact that the leadership from all the major intelligence agencies (the , the , the , the White House Advisor for Counterterrorism, and the ) have spoken out in opposition to the bill and its indefinite detention authority, Congress is working behind closed doors to try to jam the legislation to the president鈥檚 desk very quickly. His White House has repeatedly threatened the NDAA if these dangerous provisions stay in the bill.

The bills will be on the floors of the House and Senate within days, once the House and Senate conference committee puts an official stamp of approval on what the 鈥淏ig Four鈥 鈥 the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee 鈥 wrote in secret. A final vote on the bill could happen as soon as the middle of next week.

That鈥檚 why Congress needs to hear from you today! Contact your senators and House member and ask them to vote 鈥楴O鈥 on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2012 if it includes indefinite detention without charge or trial.

Once you鈥檝e sent a message to your representatives, help us spread the word by sharing the video.
