Okay, I lied… I am going to post a few more links.
This is an older article but it has some good information

A highlight from the above…
“…He issued a signing statement saying his administration would not use the controversial indefinite detention provisions. This promise, however, is not legally binding — and it also does not prevent future Presidents from detaining and torturing American citizens without the right to a trial or attorney, and without bringing formal charges against them.”
He, being our president, Barack Hussein Obama.
On being mistaken for each other.

I keep seeing posts all over twitter and tumblr concerning women’s rights, animal rights, the enviromental situation etc. Frankly, right now there is a bigger issue. An issue so big Ron Paul stopped campaigning because he considered it more important than the presidential election. Something that could in fact make it so there IS not another election this year, at all. That is the National Defense Authorization Act 2012. Now, I’ve had people tell me that they’ve already read about it and it is not as bad as people are saying. Then tell me this, why is it that it isn’t on the news? Why then is the only place you can find information about it online? Why then are states such as Virginia now NULLIFYING THE NDAA because they’ve found it to be unconstitutional? In accordance with the NDAA, we WILL be under martial law as of March 2, 2012 when it goes into effect. THIS IS REAL. Congress HAS declared war on the American people and have now tried to completely obliterate the constitution. YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHTS, WHAT SO EVER. YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE ABLE TO BE DETAINED BY THE MILITARY/POLICE WHATEVER FOR NO REASON AT ALL INDEFINITELY. Frankly folks, I think this is a much more pressing issue because it involves EVERYONE.

On that note, I encourage you to do some digging for yourself. I leave you now with some wise words from former president Abraham Lincoln.
