Press Release
Message Press Release
"A group full of conservatives, Libertarians, and Tea-party members by the name of Wake Up America Southern Oregon is proud to unite with the Southern Oregon Occupy Movement to take a Bold Stand against the National Defense Authorization Act known as the NDAA.  Further, it is time that "We the People', all of us unite!" -- Joseph Snook, Wake Up America Southern Oregon

"Occupy Ashland is standing with libertarians, progressives, conservatives and the Tea-Party alike to speak out against the attack against our civil rights which is the National Defense Authorization Act. In times such as these, when the injustices of a system and a government become too large to ignore, it is vital that we stand together not as members of a political party but as fellow citizens and human beings to defend our precious freedoms." - Emery Way Occupy

Cross-Partisan Concern about NDAA includes:

Jeff Landry (R-La) "The NDAA ... includes provisions which allow the President to hold any individual associated with terrorist forces in "detention under the law of war without trial until the end of hostilities." While these provisions do mention certain protections for American citizens, the language defining these exemptions could be interpreted a number of ways -- some good and some providing no protection of our rights."  http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/civil-rights/209527-rep-jeff-landry-r-la

ACLU: "The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to  militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield." http://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/NDAA
