These initial demand letters are an important first

“As Members of Congress take heat for having
voted to grant the President new authority to
indefinitely detain Americans on American soil without
charge or trial, many Members are citing the NDAA’s
language as “proof” that Americans are not at risk. A
few of them are intending to mislead you, but most
simply misapprehend the bill. Here’s one prominent
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5KJPm2b-v8.

Cannon Speaker of the Florida House The
Capitol 402 S. Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL
32399-1300Dear
Speaker Cannon;The NDAA is the single biggest
evisceration of our Bill of Rights in our lifetime.
Never before have the definitions of terrorist and
terrorist supporter been defined so broadly and
vague; never before have we codified into law a
president’s nonexistent authority to arrest and detain
American citizens on American soil. The arrest and
detention provisions of NDAA have been condemned as
the most egregious assault on our fundamental legal
rights of protection under the Bill of Rights in
history.We
agree with Michigan representative Justin Amash who
says:
“Our
Constitution does not permit the federal government to
detain American citizens indefinitely without charge or
trial. I strongly believe in protecting the country’s
security and equipping our Armed Forces with the tools
they need to defeat our enemies. But the American people
cannot support measures that, in the name of security,
violate our constitutional
rights.”As our elected legislators, your
duty to protect Florida’s citizens is clear. James
Madison was quite specific when he wrote of your
responsibility in such a situation: “That this
Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare,
that it views the powers of the federal government, as
resulting from the compact, to which the states are
parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of
the instrument constituting the compact; as no further
valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated
in that compact; and that in case of a
deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other
powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are
parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound,
to interpose for arresting the progress of the
evil, and for maintaining within their respective
limits, the authorities, rights and liberties
appertaining to
them.” In the interest of
preserving the Bill of Rights, and checking the runaway
abuse of the general government, the creation and agent
of the several states, we are urging you to
arrest
the progress of the evil that endangers
all Floridians under the National Defense Authorization
Act arrest and detention provisions. We request at the
start of this coming legislative session you do the
following: 1. In conjunction with
the Florida Senate, issue a joint, formal and official
statement condemning this act of Congress and its
subsequent signing by President Barack Hussein
Obama.2. In
conjunction with the Florida Senate, author and pass a
bill of
nullification rendering the arrest and
detention provisions of NDAA unauthoritative,
void
and of no force inside the State of
Florida. Send this bill to the Governor for his
immediate signature upon passage.3. Advise Florida’s Sheriffs as
the Chief Law Enforcement Officers in their Counties to
meet any attempts to implement these provisions in their
counties with the appropriate force to prevent such
implementation.4. Issue an advisory letter to
President Obama, Congress and the Secretary of Defense
that the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA
are
unconstitutional and as such are
no law
at all. As such they are unrecognized
and unenforceable in the State of
Florida.5.
Issue a letter of official dissatisfaction to both
Florida US Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson who
voted AYE for this act and to all members of Florida’s
delegation to the House of Representatives who voted AYE
for this act. (The following ONLY did not:
Mack, Posey, and Hastings voted NAY. Young and Diaz
Balart did not vote.) 6. Call a press conference to
announce your actions in the defense of Florida’s
citizens.These
perilous times in our history require a stand for
freedom. The very existence of our rights is being
jeopardized by the same
government whose premier responsibility is to protect
our rights.Your actions in this regard for
the cause of LIBERTY will assure you all a longstanding
career in Florida politics and a place in the hearts of
LIBERTY defenders across our home country of Florida.
These are the times that separate the champions of
LIBERTY from the political careerist. We ardently hope
that you and your colleagues can be counted by us to be
champions at this critical time in our
history.In
Liberty,Andrew
