AXJ LA : OCCUPY LOS ANGELES REJECT NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT



The General Assembly of Occupy Los Angeles adopted the following statement and demand on Saturday, December 3, 2011:

Occupy Los Angeles Rejects the National Defense Authorization Act

Occupy Los Angeles demands that President Obama veto the National Defense Authorization Act.

The legislation includes provisions which destroy the Constitutional rights of Habeas Corpus and Due Process.

American citizens and all people everywhere have the inalienable right to contest their imprisonment and to a civilian trial by jury.

We reject this and all legislation which abridges these rights as well as the false belief that doing so will make the nation more secure.

The bill also contains sanctions against the oil industry and monetary systems of Iran which are clear predecessors to a military attack.

Additionally, the bill funds wars that the majority of Americans oppose.

These endless, senseless wars only serve the Corporatist interests of the 1% and we oppose this and all legislation which enables and perpetuates them.
