State and local legislators speak out about anti-NDAA efforts
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 3:03 pm by Amy E. Ferrer
Today, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, together with a transpartisan coalition of the Tenth Amendment Center and Demand Progress, hosted a teleconference on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the state and local efforts opposing it across the country.
Four state and local elected officials who are leading legislative efforts to resist or nullify the NDAA’s indefinite detention provisions participated in the conference:
- Missouri State Representative Paul Curtman (R)
- Rhode Island State Representative Dan Gordon (R)
- Fairfax (CA) Town Councilor Larry Bragman (G)
- Berkeley (CA) City Councilor Kriss Worthington (D)
Listen to an audio recording of today’s teleconference.
Campaigns to restore due process and the right to trial are underway across the country. See our campaign maps.
