Congress tried to sneak through the Gay Bill Of Special Rights,don't let them get away with it

From Public Advocate:

I have terrifying news.

The radical Homosexual Lobby flaunted their strength in Congress yesterday.

What started as a quiet day in the U.S. House of Representatives ended with a bang.

And now Religious Liberty hangs in the balance.

It all started when Congressman Steve Russell (R-OK) proposed a simple amendment to the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Russell's amendment sought to overturn Obama's executive order from 2014 that stripped federal contractors of their Religious Liberty.

The amendment simply reinstated exemptions to "any religious corporation, religious association, religious educational institution, or religious society that is a recipient of or offeror for a Federal Government contract, subcontract, grant, purchase order or cooperative agreement."

But after the amendment passed quietly, the radical Homosexual Lobby sprung into action.

Openly homosexual Congressman, Sean Maloney (D-NY) proposed an amendment that would have overturned the pro-Religious Liberty legislation by incorporating aspects of the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Despite eight minutes of arm-twisting and bullying by the radical Homosexual Lobby, their amendment failed by just one vote.

After the vote, scores of Congressmen declared their alliance to the radical Homosexual Lobby by shouting "Shame! Shame! Shame" in attempts to distort their colleagues who chose Religious Liberty over special interest.

While this is a small victory for Religious Liberty, it also just gave the radical Homosexual Lobby a new opportunity to ram through the entire Gay Bill of Special Rights.

You see, now they know they only need just one more vote to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights in Congress.

Knowing they're just inches away from their crown jewel bill being passed, the radical Homosexual Lobby will be more aggressive than ever to pass this bill.

The Gay Bill of Special Rights will force every business -- even faith-based businesses -- to comply with the radical Homosexual Agenda.

These bills are usually filed under the guise of employee discrimination protection.

But don't let that fool you. The ramifications of this bill are dangerous and virtually never-ending.

Christian daycares could be forced to hire transsexuals.

Churches could be mandated to hire homosexual pastors or face legal threats.

Because this time they were able to get within inches of destroying Religious Liberty with very little effort...

... they know -- with more time -- they could pick off the last vote needed to pass it.

That's because the radical Homosexual Lobby is just one vote away from passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights in the U.S. House of Representatives.

And now, the radical Homosexual Lobby has joined forces with 60 major businesses such as Target, Nike and many more multi-billion dollar companies are now linking arms with radical homosexuals to pressure Congress to pass their extreme agenda.

That's why I hope you sign your petition right now and tell your Senators and Congressman that you are against the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

Introduced by homosexual Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) H.R. 3185 and S. 1858 will create a special employment status for homosexuals and transsexuals.

And this is the most aggressive version of this bill I've ever seen.

The liberal media even called it "historic" and "comprehensive."

Unless Public Advocate supporters take immediate action, this could go down in history as the end of Religious Liberty in America.

It's important you and I fight back right away.

Public Advocate has always been outspent yet has been very effective with a fraction of the funds compared to the vast resources of the homosexual lobby.

But now, Republicans like Senator Mark Kirk and Congressman Robert Dold are already betraying pro-Family Americans by joining the radical Homosexual Lobby in supporting the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

And House Speaker Paul Ryan also voted FOR the Gay Bill of Special Rights in 2007 (H.R. 3685) so we can't count on House leadership to kill the bill.

I'm afraid if I don't strike back immediately, more Republicans will seek praise from the radical Homosexual Lobby and access to their powerful backers.

Please don't let that happen.

After you sign your petition opposing the Gay Bill of Special Rights, please consider a generous donation of $15, $10 or $5 right away.

Your generous contribution will help me lead a resistance of thousands of pro-Family Americans against the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. The radical Homosexual Lobby is just one vote away from passing the Gay Bill of Special Rights in the U.S. House of Representatives.

If I don't respond with opposition from thousands of united pro-Family Americans, I'm afraid the Homosexual Lobby will finally pass the bill in Congress this year.

That's why I need you to sign your petition opposing the Gay Bill of Special Rights, and consider a generous donation of $15, $10 or $5 right away to help me recruit thousands of pro-Family Americans against this threat.

Support The Due Process Guarantee

From Rand2016:

There is only one way to describe detaining a U.S. citizen indefinitely and denying them a trial by jury: Un-American.

If the federal government can arrest you, throw you in prison for years, and strip away your due process rights to prove your innocence, our Republic is sliding into dangerous territory.

That’s why I’m introducing – along with Senator Mike Lee and others - the Due Process Guarantee to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

This amendment blocks indefinite detention of American citizens without being charged and denying them a jury trial unless there is a vote in Congress.

Will you stand with me in the fight against indefinite detention?

I’m running for President to defeat the Washington Machine on EVERY front.

Just last week, you and I took a step toward restoring the Fourth Amendment in my filibuster to end illegal NSA spying.

But now, our Sixth Amendment rights to a speedy and public trial are threatened by the indefinite detention language in the NDAA.

Some of my colleagues will claim we should “trust the government” because this power will never be abused.

I REFUSE to trust President Obama where matters of Constitutional principle are at stake.

Not when the Director of National Intelligence lies to Congress about the existence of the NSA’s illegal spying program and still has a job.

And not when the IRS targeted Tea Party groups for political harassment.

I believe you and I were endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.

And those include the right to be free from an Orwellian policy that allows the government to toss American citizens in prison while denying them the ability to prove their innocence.

This is a fight you and I can win.

In 2012, a conference committee killed an amendment the Senate passed stripping the indefinite detention language out of the NDAA.

But after hundreds of thousands of Americans stood with me in my showdown with President Obama over illegal NSA spying, you and I proved the grassroots turning up the heat can push our government toward protecting the Bill of Rights.

A vote could come as soon as this week.

So I’m counting on your support right away.

Please add your name to my fight against the Washington Machine’s attack on due process by signing your “STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION” petition right away.

After you sign your petition, please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help me mobilize a movement to defeat the Washington Machine by standing for the Bill of Rights.

The Washington Machine hasn’t given up attacking our liberties.

It’s up to you and me to defend them.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Indefinite detention is coming up again

From Rand2016:

Sometimes my colleagues' callousness toward the very foundations of our country makes my head spin.

If the federal government can arrest you on a whim and throw you in prison for years -- without ever giving you the opportunity to prove your innocence -- what freedoms do you and I really have left?

The fight over the indefinite detention of American citizens in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) strikes at the very heart of our fragile Republic.

It effectively GUTS the 6th Amendment of the Constitution. It effectively places the freedom of every American citizen at the mercy of the federal government.

So when the NDAA comes up for a vote, I'm determined to repeal the indefinite detention language out of the NDAA bill passed in 2011 and reaffirm the 6th Amendment.

But I can't do it without your help.

Won't you please sign the STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION Petition I've made for you, so I can circulate it throughout the Senate?

During the last fight over indefinite detention, the U.S. Senate passed an amendment curtailing its use.

But sadly, it was abandoned in a conference committee and never made in to the final version.

I know some of my colleagues hem and haw at you and me for daring to stand up for our constitutional freedoms.

They say, “What's the big deal? The federal government will never abuse its power.”

After the NSA spying scandals and the IRS targeting of conservative political organizations, Americans aren't buying that argument any longer.

So this time, if you and I can turn up enough heat, I'm convinced the story will be different.

The Founders understood that men are corrupt and too much power in the hands of a few is incredibly dangerous.

They didn't even trust each other with this kind of power!

And they understood that our Creator endowed each of us with certain inalienable rights.

Today, those rights are under assault like never before.

It's up to you and me to protect them.

So please sign your STOP INDEFENITE DETENTION Petition TODAY, so I can show my colleagues that you simply won't stand by while they destroy the very foundations of our Republic.

And if you can please make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or $35 to help me mobilize Americans all over the country to this critical fight through email, direct mail, online and social media ads, I'd truly appreciate it.

If that is too much for you to afford, even chipping in a contribution of $25 or $10 would be a tremendous help.

Your generosity will help me turn up the heat on my colleagues even more.

So won't you please act right away?

Please sign your STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION Petition right away.

And if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, $25 or even $10 right away.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Do you believe our federal government should have the power to lock American citizens up and throw away the key – all without trial?

I think this is madness. And so did our nation's Founders.

That's why it's vital you sign your STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION Petition and agree to your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50, $25 or even $10 TODAY.

Repeal NDAA unconstitutional resistriction

From Campaign For Liberty:

Update - As I was getting ready to send you the below email, news broke that the Obama administration has been collecting data on the phone calls of millions of innocent Americans.

Add this further proof of an out-of-control federal government to what we've already seen with the NDAA (more info below), and it's clear you and I must raise our voices NOW.

Please sign your Repeal Section 1021 Fax Petition today (see below for link) and give what you can to help C4L fight not only the NDAA's indefinite detention provision, but the federal government's other MASSIVE intrusions into our lives.

We all know the Supreme Court, Congress, and the President make mistakes.

ObamaCare's "Individual Mandate," anyone?

Next week, you and I have an opportunity to overturn one of the most dangerous mistakes Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court have ever made.

Which is why I need you to sign your Repeal Section 1021 Fax Petition right away!

Let me explain...

You see, in 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the supposed "constitutionality" of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of Japanese-Americans in prison camps throughout WWII.

Despite the passage of the "Civil Liberties Act of 1988," the Korematsu and Hirabayashi decisions are still on the books.

In 1992, when Congress passed amendments to the Act, then-President George H.W. Bush said, "The internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry was a great injustice, and it will never be repeated."

Or will it...?

Congress has reopened this scar in our nations' past by codifying into law Presidential authority to detain Americans as long as they want.

Specifically, Section 1021 of the FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) allows American citizens to be detained indefinitely - without due process - until the "War on Terror" is declared over.

But, as politicians of both parties are forever reminding us, the "War on Terror" may never be over.

An amendment intended to curtail the blatantly unconstitutional indefinite detention provision was adopted to the FY 2013 NDAA in the Senate - before being stripped out by the John McCain-led Conference Committee.

Their goal was to ensure the President could secretly target American citizens and throw them in jail for years or even decades without so much as ever giving them a trial!

Next week, the full House will take up the FY 2014 NDAA, and it's up to us to make sure it repeals Section 1021 of the FY 2012 NDAA.

That's why it's so urgent you sign your "Repeal Section 1021" Fax Petition to Congress right away!

This petition urges your representative to support any amendment that will prevent the indefinite detention of American citizens and to vote against any defense authorization bill that doesn't repeal this abuse of power!

Representative Thomas Massie and others have assured us they are doing what they can to bring an amendment to the floor, but if it gets there, your representative needs to know how to vote.

That's why Congress needs to hear from you immediately.

After failing to adopt amendments to repeal Sec. 1021 of the FY 2012 NDAA, the government still has the authority to indefinitely detain anyone the government accuses of "supporting terrorism."

Remember, not too long ago, it was C4L members who were listed in a Missouri Fusion Center report, later referred to as the MIAC report, as "domestic extremists" to be watched.

And it wasn't just C4L members on that list, but people displaying third party logos and bumper stickers - and, specifically, supporters of Ron Paul.

In the past, everyone from gun owners, to pro-lifers, to tea partiers have been labeled "terrorists" by their political opponents.

This is why it's critical Section 1021 be repealed.

In a signing statement, the President assured Americans he wouldn't use this power.

But after all that's happened with this administration lately, I'm not sure Americans can ever take this President at his word again.

Even if this President doesn't use such authority, what about the next? And the one after that?

You and I must take a stand and make our voices heard.

So please sign your Repeal Section 1021 Fax Petition right away.

Ultimately, I'd love to flood Capitol Hill with fax petitions from outraged constituents all across the country.

But C4L can only take as much action as our members' continued support allows.

So please sign your Repeal Section 1021 Fax Petition.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

P.S. Next week, the full House will take up the FY 2014 NDAA, and it's up to us to make sure they repeal Section 1021 of the FY 2012 NDAA.

That's why it's so urgent you sign your "Repeal Section 1021" Fax Petition to Congress right away!

This petition urges your representative to support any amendment that will prevent the indefinite detention of American citizens and to vote against any defense authorization bill that doesn't repeal this abuse of power!

Tell Congress to oppose McCain's NDAA

from Campaign For Liberty:

In their mad rush to get out of town before the holidays, the statists in Washington, D.C. are launching an all-out assault to rip as much liberty away from you and me as possible.

With the NDAA expected to be voted on in both houses of Congress TODAY, it's absolutely vital you contact your U.S. Representative and Senators IMMEDIATELY.

I've listed their names and phone numbers below for your convenience.

So please call and demand they vote against the NDAA.

Please note, there's not much time, so it's absolutely critical you act at once.

As you may remember, just a few weeks ago, an amendment was added to the NDAA to curtail the blatantly unconstitutional indefinite detention provision.

Of course, the statists said the amendment was "no big deal," and the new provisions didn't limit their power to throw American citizens in jail forever and throw away the key.

But their actions tell a different story.

The McCain-led Conference Committee just stripped this provision from the NDAA at the last minute.

Their goal is to ensure statists can continue secretly targeting American citizens and throwing them in jail for years or even decades without so much as ever giving them a trial!

This is outrageous.

That's why it's so critical you contact your Representative and Senators NOW and DEMAND they vote against the McCain NDAA.

Tell them to vote to STOP the indefinite detention of American citizens and vote against any defense authorization bill that includes this language.

Here are their names and phone numbers: click here

If you don't get through on your first try, please keep calling.

I hope those outside Arizona will also make a special call to Senator McCain's office at (202) 224-2235 to remind him of his sworn oath to DEFEND our rights – not strip them away in a blatant grab for power.

But please act now.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

P.S. The John McCain-led Conference Committee stripped the NDAA of the amendment designed to protect American citizens from being indefinitely detained.

Now statists can continue secretly targeting American citizens and throwing them in jail for years or even decades without so much as ever giving them a trial!

With the vote in both houses of Congress expected TODAY, it's critical you contact your Representative and Senators NOW.

I hope those outside Arizona will also make a special call to Senator McCain's office at (202) 224-2235 to remind him of his sworn oath to DEFEND our rights – not strip them away in a blatant grab for power.

I sure don't want to be locked up for no reason,I don't think anyone wants to. The best way to defend our liberties is stand up to nonsense like this. Tell your elected officials that you oppose McCain NDAA. Time is short,the moment is now.

Support the Udall amendment

From Demand Progress:

NDAA Vote TODAY or TOMORROW: Tell Senate to end indefinite detention

UPDATE: The timeline on this is tortuous, but the vote could still take place TODAY. We have adjusted the email text that will be sent to the Senate (by those who take action Thursday afternoon and beyond) to specifically reflect support for Senator Udall's amendment, out of concern that other amendments that purport to address indefinite detention are too narrow.

In addition to using the form at right to email the Senate, please use the new social media tools we've built to help us win this fight.

ORIGINAL: The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act allows the United States military to detain civilians indefinitely and without charge or trial -- even American citizens. Help us reverse this travesty of justice by adding your name at right.

The Senate is taking up the 2013 NDAA THURSDAY. Several senators are poised to put forth amendments to revoke or narrow the indefinite detention powers that we've been fighting so hard over the last year.

Demand Progress members have sent hundreds of thousands of emails to Congress and have helped fund the courageous lawsuit by Chris Hedges et al -- which recently spurred a federal judge to rule that indefinite detention is unconstitutional.

We are specifically supporting Senator Udall's amendment, which is preferable to others for reasons outlined in the above-linked article.

Earlier this year we helped push an anti-indefinite detention amendment to the House's version of the NDAA to the brink of passage. The Senate is friendly turf for us: We have a real chance of winning this fight.

Please email the Senate in front of its critical vote -- it could happen this week.

Next, please use the new social media tools we've built to help us win this fight.

Source:click here to sign the petition.

Sounds great to me. If this is the lessor of the two evils then support it. Scrapping indefinite detention would be the best but they won't do that so the Udall amendment is the next best thing.

Obama wants to lock you up

NDAA Vote This Week: Tell Senate to end indefinite detention

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act allows the United States military to detain civilians indefinitely and without charge or trial -- even American citizens. Help us reverse this travesty of justice by adding your name at right.

The Senate is taking up the 2013 NDAA this week. Several senators are poised to put forth amendments to revoke or narrow the indefinite detention powers that we've been fighting so hard over the last year.

Because there are several amendments in play, our ask is broad and simple: Please urge your Senators to support any and all amendments to revoke or narrow indefinite detention powers.

Earlier this year we helped push an anti-indefinite detention amendment to the House's version of the NDAA to the brink of passage. The Senate is friendly turf for us: We have a real chance of winning this fight.

Sounds like a good cause to me. I'm not a big fan of being locked up especially if I didn't do anything to cause my incarceration. If you feel the same way then sign this petition to safeguard our rights. It beats lockup so sign the petition today.

Indefinite detention and how to fight it

From Campaign For Liberty:

Your liberties are once again hanging by a thread. As little as five votes, in fact.

Next week, the lame-duck U.S. Senate will take up the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

And the statists will do virtually anything to keep the power to lock up American citizens at will and throw them in prison forever without so much as a trial - effectively GUTTING the Sixth Amendment in the process.

The good news is Senator Rand Paul is offering an amendment to prevent the indefinite detention of American citizens and reaffirm the Sixth Amendment.

Last time he tried a similar effort, it only failed by five votes, and you and I had very little time to mobilize against this outrageous assault on our liberties.

That's why I'm hopeful with your IMMEDIATE action today, we can DEFEAT the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA.

So won't you please agree to call your senators IMMEDIATELY?

Tell them to REJECT the indefinite detention of American citizens and vote against any defense authorization bill that includes such an abuse of power.

Demand they support Senator Rand Paul's amendment upholding our rights.

You can reach them at the numbers I've provided for you below.

Find your senators

Of course, time is running out, so your action today is absolutely critical.

This outrageous assault on our remaining liberties isn't something out of Fidel Castro's Communist Cuba.

This is something statists in our federal government are doing!

What freedoms won't they take from us?

What constitutional liberties will they not crush as the statists' national security state continually expands to fit a bunch of bureaucrats' idea of "safety"?

You and I can't let this happen. You and I MUST fight back.

So please call your U.S. senators IMMEDIATELY.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

P.S. Next week, the U.S. Senate will take up the NDAA, and Senator Rand Paul will be fighting to prevent the federal government from locking up American citizens and throwing away the key without even so much as a trial.

So please call your senators TODAY and demand they reject the indefinite detention of American citizens and vote against any defense authorization bill that includes language allowing this abuse of power.

Urge them to support Senator Paul's amendment to uphold our rights.

Please act TODAY!

If the statists plans sicken you then contact your senators by email and/or phone and let them know to support Senator Rand Paul's amendment to protect the 6th Amendment. The statists know their time is ending and they are in desperation mode. The 113th Congress is going to have a lot more pro-liberty/anti-statists people coming in and the statists know it that is why it is "now or never" for them. We've got to make sure it is "never" for them to implement the dictatorship they wish to put us all under. Like I said if you value liberty contact your senators right away.
