Friends,

Indefinite detention is about to become the law, and we're teaming up 
with Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Daniel Ellsberg and others to try to 
reverse it.

Will you click here to show your support as we seek a restraining order 
to block the implementation of the NDAA?

On January 1, 2011, President Obama signed into law the National 
Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA).

The National Defense Authorization Act is a bill passed into law each 
year. It allows the government to continue funding national security 
interests and the military for the next fiscal year. This year's bill, 
however, was different.

The 2012 NDAA greatly expands the power and scope of the federal 
government to fight the so-called "War on Terror". The law authorizes 
the US military, for the first time in more than 200 years, to carry 
out domestic policing.

You can click here to support our lawsuit to block its implementation. 
The indefinite detention provisions are set to take effect THIS WEEK. 
(You'll also be generating emails to your lawmakers asking them to 
overturn this law.)

The language of this law is dangerously vague. It grants dictatorial 
powers to the federal government to arrest any American citizen without 
warrant and indefinitely detain them for life anywhere in the world 
without any charge.

Suspects can be shipped by the military to our offshore prisons and 
kept there until "the end of hostilities." It is a catastrophic blow to 
civil liberties.

In a nation where the definition of "terrorist" seems to be 
ever-expanding, and where a series of laws passed since 9/11 have 
severely undermined Constitutional protections, the NDAA has gone too 
far.
It is time to unite and stand up to this assault on our fundamental 
rights and freedoms.
