ACTION ALERT January 8, 2012 NULLIFY NDAA NOW…Join Us In Reminding Tallahassee of Their Duty in Arresting The Progress of The Evil
Maybe its the fever of a presidential election. Maybe its the misleading assurances its supporters are writing home to concerned constituents…whatever the case, NDAA is not getting the attention in Florida it deserves. Those in our Washington delegation are not feeling nearly the heat they deserve either. None of this should stop us however from demanding that our “rightful remedy” be implemented against this hollowing of our Bill of Rights. We ask each of you to join us in sending the letters below to our Governor, House and Senate as indicated. Whether you use it as is, or copy with your signature, it is important that we make our voices heard in the interest of our own protection. In addition to the Governor, Speaker, and Senate President, we have also copied member of the House Federal Affairs Subcommittee ( http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Committees/committeesdetail.aspx?SessionId=70&CommitteeId=2621 ) and the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security ( http://www.flsenate.gov/Committees/Show/MS/ ) Please share with us any and all responses you receive. Even no reply is a strong statement when it comes to LIBERTY’S protection. In LIBERTY, The Florida TAC team Please copy and send the letters shown below: January 7, 2012 Representative Dean Cannon Speaker of the Florida House The Capitol 402 S. Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300 Dear Speaker Cannon; The NDAA is the single biggest evisceration of our Bill of Rights in our lifetime. Never before have the definitions of terrorist and terrorist supporter been defined so broadly and vague; never before have we codified into law a president’s nonexistent authority to arrest and detain American citizens on American soil. The arrest and detention provisions of NDAA have been condemned as the most egregious assault on our fundamental legal rights of protection under the Bill of Rights in history. We agree with Michigan representative Justin Amash who says: “Our Constitution does not permit the federal government to detain American citizens indefinitely without charge or trial. I strongly believe in protecting the country’s security and equipping our Armed Forces with the tools they need to defeat our enemies. But the American people cannot support measures that, in the name of security, violate our constitutional rights.” As our elected legislators, your duty to protect Florida’s citizens is clear. James Madison was quite specific when he wrote of your responsibility in such a situation: “That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.” In the interest of preserving the Bill of Rights, and checking the runaway abuse of the general government, the creation and agent of the several states, we are urging you to arrest the progress of the evil that endangers all Floridians under the National Defense Authorization Act arrest and detention provisions. We request at the start of this coming legislative session you do the following: 1. In conjunction with the Florida Senate, issue a joint, formal and official statement condemning this act of Congress and its subsequent signing by President Barack Hussein Obama. 2. In conjunction with the Florida Senate, author and pass a bill of nullification rendering the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA unauthoritative, void and of no force inside the State of Florida. Send this bill to the Governor for his immediate signature upon passage. 3. Advise Florida’s Sheriffs as the Chief Law Enforcement Officers in their Counties to meet any attempts to implement these provisions in their counties with the appropriate force to prevent such implementation. 4. Issue an advisory letter to President Obama, Congress and the Secretary of Defense that the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA are unconstitutional and as such are no law at all. As such they are unrecognized and unenforceable in the State of Florida. 5. Issue a letter of official dissatisfaction to both Florida US Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson who voted AYE for this act and to all members of Florida’s delegation to the House of Representatives who voted AYE for this act. (The following ONLY did not: Mack, Posey, and Hastings voted NAY. Young and Diaz Balart did not vote.) 6. Call a press conference to announce your actions in the defense of Florida’s citizens. These perilous times in our history require a stand for freedom. The very existence of our rights is being jeopardized by the same government whose premier responsibility is to protect our rights. Your actions in this regard for the cause of LIBERTY will assure you all a longstanding career in Florida politics and a place in the hearts of LIBERTY defenders across our home country of Florida. These are the times that separate the champions of LIBERTY from the political careerist. We ardently hope that you and your colleagues can be counted by us to be champions at this critical time in our history.

Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 (850) 488-7146 Dear Governor Scott; The NDAA is the single biggest evisceration of our Bill of Rights in our lifetime. Never before have the definitions of terrorist and terrorist supporter been defined so broadly and vague; never before have we codified into law a president’s nonexistent authority to arrest and detain American citizens on American soil. The arrest and detention provision of NDAA should, in the words of Congressman Ron Paul, “chill us to our core.” As Governor, your duty to protect Florida’s citizens is clear. Towards this end we are urging you to do the following immediately: 1. Issue a formal and official statement condemning this act by Congress. 2. Ask the state legislature to author and pass a bill of nullification rendering the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA void and of no force inside the State of Florida. Sign this bill immediately upon passage. 3. Advise Florida’s Sheriffs as the Chief Law Enforcement Officers in their Counties to meet any attempts to implement these provisions in their counties with the appropriate force to prevent such implementation. 4. Issue an advisory letter to President Obama, Congress and the Secretary of Defense that the arrest and detention provisions of NDAA are unconstitutional and as such are no law at all. State that these provisions are in the words of Jefferson “unauthoritative, void and of no force” in Florida. 5. Issue a letter of official dissatisfaction to both Florida US Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson who voted AYE for this act and to all members of Florida’s delegation to the House of Representatives who voted AYE for this act. (The following did not: Mack, Posey, Hastings. Young and Diaz Balart did not vote.) 6. Issue a State of the State address to the people of Florida on your stand for LIBERTY and why this action was necessary. These perilous times in our history require a stand for freedom. Your actions in this regard for the cause of LIBERTY will assure your re election in 2014.
