Veto New Police State Law

UPDATED DEC. 2:  The Senate has "compromised" away your Constitutional right not to be imprisoned without charge or trial. The Senate's so-called compromise in the “Defense” bill simply states that this new law will not change existing law. Yet this new law's language is far worse than existing written law and the White House view of existing law is worse still.

The meaningless compromise on perpetual detention was reached after the Senate rejected the Udall amendment stripping out the offending language and a Feinstein amendment that would have allowed trial-free imprisonment only for non-U.S. citizens.

We need your voice now more than ever. Tell the President to veto the bill as soon as it reaches his desk.

Doing so will set a valuable precedent. Bills that dump over $600 billion into wars and weaponry should always be vetoed and rejected. We should be investing in economic conversion to civilian industries that provide more jobs without all the killing.
