It's coming....and it's not good.
What's the meaning of a new law that President Bush signed on Oct. 17?
It seems to [a href="http://towardfreedom.com/home/content/view/911/"]allow the President to impose martial law on any state or territory[/a], using federal troops and/or the state's own, or other states', National Guard troops.
From the article: "In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually [span style="font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]encourage [/span]the President to declare federal martial law. It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States.
The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions."
Here is a link to [a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-5122"]the bill in question[/a]. The relevant part is Sec. 1076 about 3/4 of the way down the page.
How much more are people going to take before they realize what is going on here? Seriously, we're only a step away from open revolution.. Will it actually take having troops parade around your hometown enforcing martial law before people stand up for their rights?? (which we don't have many anymore).
I'm not saying there should be a call-to-arms, but I AM saying that people need to wake up and see what's going on before it's too late! First the Patriot Act, Patriot Act II, Military Commissions Act, and now THIS?! All in the name of "terrorism". We're just letting the government trample all over our constitution, because people don't understand why it was written in the first place, TO LIMIT GOVERNMENT! When will people realize that FREEDOM is NOT letting your government take away all your rights...
