Democrats and Republicans are Taking Away Rights!!

Every year, by law, Congress has to pass the spending bill for the defense department, called the National Defense Authorization Act. The bill then goes to the President to be signed and then we continue to fund aggressions and wars around the globe. A name like National Defense sounds like it is for the good of America. The same can be said when they made the change from the, War Department to the Department of Defense. It is about making and fighting wars. Now this year they have added a little extra, like they always do, garbage into the spending bill. They have given the Executive Branch (the President) additional power when dealing with terrorists, including American citizens. Amazing how politicians from both parties can agree, when they are looking at ways to subvert the Constitution and limit rights of people. Simply put, and no surprise here that the politicians are telling us to trust them, the President will be able to retain suspected terrorists, indefinitely, without charges or a trial. This, again, includes American citizens. It also allows for suspected terrorists to be placed in military trials instead of civil courts, where the proof of guilt has a much lower bar. The Republicans and Democrats are telling everyone that there is nothing to worry about that the power involved here would not be abused. Yeah, right. Sorry but I am becoming more cynical with each passing year.
We have certain rights in our Constitution that should not be subject to the political whims of people. When they tell us it is for our own protection and good, we need to be concerned. Abuses will happen and Congress along with President Obama and President Bush, have allowed it to occur. The courts need to quit looking at health care issues and abortions and start concentrating on the actual rights of living and breathing citizens. The politicians have used 9-11 as a tool to strip away our rights. Every American should be outraged and voice this to their political leaders. Do not let them destroy our Constitution. Speak out now, before they take away your voice.
