December 19, 2013 is the day America officially became a police state, but those that watch the Senate roll call voting page can be excused for not noticing since it's passage was hidden under the following description:
| Measure Number: | H.R. 3304 (A bill to authorize and request the President to award the Medal of Honor to Bennie G. Adkins and Donald P. Sloat of the United States Army for acts of valor during the Vietnam Conflict and to authorize the award of the Medal of Honor to certain other veterans who were previously recommended for award of the Medal of Honor. ) | ||
| Measure Title: | An act to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Bennie G. Adkins and Donald P. Sloat of the United States Army for acts of valor during the Vietnam Conflict and to authorize the award of the Medal of Honor to certain other veterans who were previously recommended for award of the Medal of Honor. | ||
It isn't until you click the link for H.R. 3304 that you come to this page titled "Latest Title: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 "
They hid the passage for a reason, one that Senator Ted Cruz explained in a press release about why he voted against the NDAA:
"Today I voted against the National Defense Authorization Act. I am deeply concerned that Congress still has not prohibited President Obama’s ability to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens arrested on American soil without trial or due process.
"The Constitution does not allow President Obama, or any President, to apprehend an American citizen, arrested on U.S. soil, and detain these citizens indefinitely without a trial. When I ran for office, I promised the people of Texas I would oppose any National Defense Authorization Act that did not explicitly prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens. Although this legislation does contain several positive provisions that I support, it does not ensure our most basic rights as American citizens are protected.
"I hope that next year the Senate and the House can come together in a bipartisan way to recognize the importance of our constitutional rights even in the face of ongoing terrorist threats and national security challenges. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Senate Armed Services Committee toward this common goal."
While there are many egregious parts to this bill, the stripping of Americans constitutional rights, such as what is explained above, is what turns America from being the land of the free, to Police State USA subject to martial law at the president's whim.
Below the video which explains how this NDAA is bigger and badder than the previous one for 2013, will be the text of the NDAA bill embedded.... for those that care and wish to prepare accordingly, I suggest you read the entire bill and learn exactly how many constitutional rights have just been stripped from you and your family.
