Senator Nelson:
While I respect your reasoning, I must strongly disagree with the provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, especially as it pertains to referring to the entire country as a "battleground" upon which the military, or other government agencies, can detain, without reason, warrant, or due process, any citizen. These are the tactics of the Gestapo and Kristallnacht, not those of a free society. I urge you and your fellow members of Congress, in both houses, to, at the very least, strike this language from any future draft of the bill or, if you love and respect the freedoms that the First and Fourth Amendments grant all Americans, strike down this egregious contravention of our civil liberties.
Respectfully,
Rafe Brox

(I stopped short of sending him a link to the Anonymous video that touches on the same subject, but just barely.)
