in part:
This legislative package is a state-level response to constitutional violations by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA) – primarily provisions that authorize indefinite detention. Activists, we encourage you to send this to your state senators and representatives – and ask them to introduce this legislation in your state.
Depending on the strength of opposition in your area, we recommend either a 1, 2 or 3 step action plan vis a vis this legislation. The 3-step plan includes each of the 3 pieces of model legislation below, and each builds on each other. A 2 step plan would start with #2, then move to #3 in a future session. A 1 step plan would start with #3. Please work with whatever will have the most effect in your area over the long run…

*******
The first, a resolution, affirms the proper role of the federal government under the constitution, and also the role of the state government in ending such actions. This is essential in areas where awareness of such duties is low.
The second, a non-compliance act is a binding state law which requires all state agencies to refuse compliance with the federal government in the enforcement of the offending provisions of the NDAA.
The third, a state nullification act is a binding state law which requires all state agencies to not only refuse compliance as in the second, but also renders the federal act illegal within the boundaries of the state – with penalties for violating the state act.
The fourth, a local resolution authored by the Bill of Rights Defense Committee (pdf version here) for introduction in your town, city or county – and including language requiring local noncompliance with the federal act.
The fifth, a binding act authored by the American Civil Liberties Union. This is the ACLU’s model legislation that takes the same path as our version #2 above – formatted for use on either a state or local level. It is a strong bill as it requires local or state noncompliance with any claimed powers of indefinite detention from the federal government.
