ENC Tea Party--NDAA Program March 27th--URGENT!

To hold this event we need 24 attendees. Please RSVP to karenkozel@yahoo.com today!


Please read the following letter as to WHY it is important that we are all educated about NDAA....

Dear Friends,

Please familiarize yourselves with this! Friday, March 16, 2012 President Obama signed an Executive Order -- National Defense Resources Preparedness.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness

While there is much to know and evaluate, please consider the following:


1. This EO is based upon an Act established in 1953.
2. This EO is copied from EOs written by several other presidents, to include Truman, Reagan, Clinton and now Obama.

THIS IS NOTHING NEW. Clinton's EO is still in effect and Obama's EO is irrelevant because it is nothing new. The real question should be, WHY NOW? Do not be manipulated.

There was also legislation passed in the US Congress on Dec. 31, 2012, The National Defense Authorization Act, commonly referred to as NDAA. You all received an invite to attend an educational seminar on March 27, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at The Queen Street Deli, Kinston hosted by the Eastern NC Tea Party. If you haven't already responded, please consider attending to learn more. RSVP to karenkozel@yahoo.com.

Again, please familiarize yourselves with both as they will be the topic of more and more conversations as time goes on.

Beaufort Observer: Rep. Glen Bradley to introduce resolution in N. C. Legislature against "Indefinite Detention"

by Jeff Lewis, National Director Patriot Coalition and FIRE


North Carolina Rep. Glen Bradley, (R-49), a founding member of Oath Keepers confirmed today his intention to introduce a resolution in the General Assembly to address the unconstitutional provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, which authorizes the "indefinite detention" of U.S. Citizens, "indefinitely expands" the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, " and essentially designates America as part of the "battlefield," thus placing the United States under the "law of war." President Obama signed the 2012 NDAA into law on Dec. 31, 2011.

In his signing statement , President Obama stated, "…I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens." The President did not say that he "could not" detain U.S. citizens "indefinitely," he said he would not. The "requirement" for military to detain in H.R. 1540's conference report, Section 1022 is not a "prohibition" against it.

In his signing statement, President Obama, expressing his dissatisfaction with several sections of the bill stated, "…should any application of these provisions conflict with my constitutional authorities, I will treat the provisions as non-binding. " If the President thought parts were unconstitutional, why did he sign it?"

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?

Oath Keepers: Michael LeMieux: NDAA FOLLOW-UP AND FURTHER TREASONOUS ACTS

Directly on the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), that arguably makes US Citizens detainable by the military, comes the coup de grace in the form of a new bill called the "Enemy Expatriation Act."

But before I get into this bill let me preface that with a few observations.

First, our nation was founded upon the principle of individual liberty and self-determination. A belief that all men were created equal and endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights imbued within each of us at the time of our birth. We did not, and do not, derive our rights from government and therefore cannot legally have them taken from us by that government.

Second, as our Declaration of Independence states, the purpose of government is to secure the rights of its citizens, and as important, they derive their powers from the consent of the people. I ask you to think upon the following question in light of the previous statement: If the government derives its power from the people, how can the government wield power that the people do not have? If the people do not have such a power then the government, on their behalf, cannot likewise yield such power.

Third, the federal government was created by consent and compact, a Constitution. Within that Constitution the branches of government were laid out, defined, and scope assigned. Each branch of government was given certain powers to act for the betterment of the nation as representatives of a collective set of nation states that recognized the need for a single voice in foreign matters and as an arbiter between the states to ensure regular trade and commerce between the states and settle disputes.

To ensure that the federal government did not go further than the prescribed powers they enumerated the legislative powers of the government to a few distinct areas (Article 1, Section 8). But they went a step further, to emphasize the point to the federal government and to put to rest some resistance within the states, that federal government would not stay confined, they added the Tenth Amendment stating: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Now I ask of you; with the enormity of our federal government, with its massive spending, size, and laws that reaches into every aspect of every citizen's life, is our government today one of limited power? I think the answer is a blatant no.

So how does a government, such as ours, go from limited power that literally had no direct impact on the lives of the citizens of the states to one of tyrannical proportions? You cannot make improvements to your own property without permission and paying a tribute. You have the flow of toilets and shower heads dictated to you on what you can and cannot have. We have been using incandescent light bulbs for years but now the government is forcing you to use highly toxic, mercury filled, bulbs (for our own good). And the list of expansive government powers is as long as the list of government agencies and sub-agencies within the federal government. But it did not happen overnight.

We have heard from those of this administration that they do not want crises to go to waste. This is not a new concept - every major governmental expansion has been preceded by one crises or another, manufactured or real, it does not matter. Politicians know that they can take advantage of the public, using their positions of power, during times of national crises and pass laws they know they would not be able to do otherwise.

Inch by inch, nudge by nudge, taking more and more power with each passing legislative session until one day we will (have) awake to find ourselves living under an unconstitutional tyrannical government. I do not say this lightly, I have spent most of my adult life in the service of my country and have offered up my life if need be, but I am abhorred by what I have seen her become.

This brings me to this newest legislation by "our representatives" in Congress. This is Senate bill S. 1698, entitled as the "Enemy Expatriation Act." This bill is two pages, a novelty in the age of 1,000+ page bills, and states (relevant parts):

SEC. 2. LOSS OF NATIONALITY.

H.R. 1540, better known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The coming war inside America--As the attention of most Americans was captivated by the shiny object in Times Square this weekend like infants fixated on car keys dangled in front of them, Barack Hussein Obama signed into law H.R. 1540, better known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Regardless of any concurrent executive signing statements that are mere window dressing and not legally binding, Obama and every member of congress who crafted and voted for this act has essentially declared war on American citizens on U.S. soil.

Obama Announces he can imprison anyone he chooses…IF he chooses to do so--Today’s column will be short and to the point. It has finally arrived, folks. I’d hoped I was wrong about it but, tragically and chillingly I was not. Obama has just announced—in his own words—that he can detain (imprison) anyone he wants with the new unconstitutional NDAA bill passed by Congress and signed by the now self-proclaimed Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama. Note: As usual, the Marxist-media doesn’t care and is, instead, jubilant that Dear Leader Obama has finally done away with that pesky Constitution.

Can the ‘Indefinite Detention’ Bill Send Americans To Military Prison Without Trial?

U.S. Citizens suspected of terrorism and caught on U.S. soil forfeit their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence enshrined in the Constitution.



Unless President Obama vetoes the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed on Tuesday — and that appears to be the current position of Congress, according to many legal analysts and some in Congress.

Dismantling America

Thomas Sowell:   Dismantling America


Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?

Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?

Does any of this sound like America?

How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough.

How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries.

We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.

How far the President will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin.

Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to "change the United States of America," the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles and the people of this country.

Jeremiah Wright said it with words: "God damn America!" Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.

Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government-- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.

Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.

Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year-- each bill more than a thousand pages long-- too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question-- and the biggest question for this generation.
