Oxford, MA Passes Anti-NDAA Resolution, Prohibits targeted killingselfnews Post The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2011. The 2012 NDAA declares the United States to be a battlefield in the war on terror and Sections 1021 1022 authorize the indefinite detention, without charge or trial, of all persons, including American citizens, accused by the President of undefined support for terrorist activity or commission of a belligerent act. This violates multiple provisions of the US Constitution, in addition to the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th amendments. People Against the NDAA (PANDA), a national, nonpartisan, grassroots organization founded in January 2012, is committed to reversing the NDAAs unconstitutional authorizations with activism to affect policy at the state and local government level. PANDA started in Bowling Green, OH and has since expanded into over 30 state teams nationwide. The tide is now turning against the NDAAs detention provisions. Oxfords Resolution states: When the Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution of Oxford came up for a vote, Oxford residents did what most elected officials dont have the courage to do, and voted 95% in favor of the resolution. Marla Zeneski, the Oxford resident who sponsored the resolution, along with the support of Worcester Tea Party Co-Founder Ken Mandile and PANDA Massachusetts, said: Matching, and with more clarity than, Albanys resolution 80.21.93just three days ago, this resolution makes it crystal clear that the law of war, and anything associated with it under Section 1021 (c) of the 2012 NDAA or otherwise, is unlawful to implement by any personwhich includes everyone from international police forces (such as INTERPOL) and Federal agents to local and state police. Benjamin Selecky, Team Leader for PANDA Massachusetts, praised the resolution and the efforts of local activists: Unlike the Liberty Preservation Acts introduced and/or passed in several states, including Virginia and California, the Restoring Constitutional Governance Act/Resolution prohibits any person, local, state, federal, or international, from utilizing the powers of the law of war under the 2012 NDAA or any similar law or authority, in any city, county, or state.
