The National Defense Authorization Act, (H.R. 1540/S. 1867) is now in a conference committee squaring the differences between the House and the Senate version. The House passed a motion that allows them to hold the meetings for this important conference committee behind closed doors. Arguments pertaining to something as important as overturning the Posse Comitatus Act and Habeus Corpus deserve to be heard in a public forum.

The Conference Committee dropped their report on the National Defense Authorization Act late last night.
In case you didn't already see this coming, the detainee provisions are still intact from the Senate version, though the infringing Section numbers have changed to 1021 & 1022 (formerly Secs. 1031 & 1032).
The only real modifications made to them were in an effort to appease the Obama Administration, meaning, if you were counting on a Presidential Veto to protect your civil liberties -- don't.

The House Rules committee will meet today at 4pm to devise a rule for bringing the bill to the House floor. It could come up for a vote before the full House as soon as Wednesday.
Contact Congress immediately at 202-224-3121 and urge them to vote NO on the NDAA Conference Report! Your representatives and senators need to hear from you as soon as possible, please contact them by email as well as by phone.
