National Defense Authorization Bill H.R 1540? Gives President the Right to Continue Wars Without Approval? Also to Declare War Within America Itself
Posted on May 16, 2011 by Mark Schumacher
The White House has kept quiet about the FY12 National Defence Authorization Bill that could give Barry Soetoro AKA Barrack Obama too much power in starting needless wars. There will be no checks and balances from congress if passed. Something that cannot be allowed to happen. It would even give him the right to declare war within the United States to squash uprisings from the people. Giving the right to detain any American, they feel could be a problem within the USA.
“By declaring a global war against nameless individuals, organizations and nations ‘associated’ with the Taliban and al Qaeda, as well as those playing a supporting role in their efforts, the Detainee Security Act would appear to grant the president near unfettered authority to initiate military action around the world without further congressional approval,”
“Such authority must not be ceded to the president without careful deliberation from Congress.”

If you don't see yourself as the sort of person who calls your representatives in Congress and urges them to vote to end the war in Afghanistan, stand up and take a bow. This is your moment of special recognition. The American peace movement is calling on you - you - to call your representatives in Congress now to urge votes against the wars, and we want you to do this so badly that the Friends Committee on National Legislation has established a toll-free number for you to reach your representative: 1-888-231-9276.
The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act is expected on the floor of the House this week, and the House is expected to consider, among others, amendments to limit and end the war in Afghanistan, to limit and end the war in Libya and to strip from the bill the "permanent war" authorization inserted by Representative McKeon. Voting on these amendments may happen as early as Wednesday afternoon, Eastern time.
A suggested call script, with information on many proposed amendments, is here. http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/blog/ndaa2012-updates If your schedule doesn't permit you to call, you can write here. http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/14 ... n_KEY=6881
