CCTA ACTION ALERT!
Directly on the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) HR1540 comes the coup de grace in the form of a new bill called the “Enemy Expatriation Act.” HR3166.
The president rang in the New Year by signing into law the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with its provision allowing him to indefinitely detain citizens.
Now HR3166 will be coming up before Congress. The law itself is rather brief, but in just a few words it warrants the US government to strip nationality status from anyone they identify as a threat. Carried to the extreme, do citizens or organizations that oppose and protest against the Obama regime fall into this category? I wonder how many of you are even aware of the existence of NDAA or have heard of the impending Enemy Expatriation Act?
PLEASE call our representatives Walter Jones @202-225-3415 and Richard Burr @202-224-3154. Demand that Walter vote down HR3166 when it comes to the floor and Richard Burr when the Senate version reaches the Senate.
You can find out more about HR1540 and HR3166 by doing a Google search. Ask yourself this; why do we have a need for such bills in an open and free society and why is the ACLU, guardians of our freedoms, silent?

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE JULY 30, 2011
Thanks to the North Carolina Federation of Republican Women for this great update!
July 30, 2011
U.S. Congress
On Jul 29 the House passed Speaker Boehner's bill called the "Budget Control Act of 2011"
(S 627) in a vote of 218 to 210 with 5 not voting. All NC Republican Representatives voted for the bill. All NC Democrat Representatives voted against it, along with 22 Republican Representatives from other states.
"The bill is the House vehicle to raise the debt ceiling, make budget deficit reductions, and require a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution." (House.gov)
The bill moved to the Senate where it was tabled in a vote of 59 to 41. Senator Burr voted against the motion to table the bill, and Senator Hagan voted for it. The debt ceiling and budget deficit reduction discussion will continue in the Senate this weekend.
NC General Assembly
"Restore Confidence in Government" (Voter Photo ID) HB 351 - The previous Legislative Report addressed the last vote taken on the Voter Photo ID bill which was on Jul 26.
However, an earlier vote was held on the same day in which only the override was the subject of the vote. At that time, the bill failed 67 to 52. All Democrats voted against the measure, and Republicans voted for it, except House Majority Leader Paul Stam who voted against the bill so that it could be brought up again for a vote.
Four Democrat votes were needed to attain 72 votes for the override. The bottom line is that the bill is still alive thanks to Republican Leader Stam.
