Montana NDAA Declaration (republished)

Webmaster Note: Our group of ordinary citizens who do not advocate violence or crime, or destruction of property do not have proprietary interest in "We the People" of Montana other than this blog.  This declaration is from unknown author, and this publication does nothing more than republish something send via email, and has been circulated in the State of Montana and elsewhere.

As webmaster, "war" is a subjective term, and one can disagree with lawmakers, sign petitions against the signers of NDAA online as what was formally freedom of speech.  The US Constitution has not been upheld for Occupiers, and ordinary Americans in 2011, culminating in the December 31, 2011 signing of the NDAA by the 44th President.

Again, the author is not attached to our group in MONTANA nor is the author known.  We the ordinary people of Montana wish to republish this sentiment without condoning any violence or "war".  The National Defense of America Act allows military detention of American citizens without Due Process, Habeas Corpus or trial.  It suspends the US Constitution as we know it.

This declaration is being highly circulated right now in Montana & passed out as a flyer. It’s author is unknown. (see below and also attached)

A DECLARATION

Whereas, on the 14th of December, 2011, the House of Representatives of these United States

voted, in the form of the

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, in favor of

indefinite military detention, without charges, of American citizens on American soil, without

due process of law, at the discretion of the government alone;

Whereas, on the 15th of December, 2011, the Senate of these United States voted in favor of

the same bill;

Whereas, on the 31st of December, 2011, the President of these United States signed the same

bill into law;

Whereas, the proscription against the use of military force to police the populace has been an

essential feature of American civic life and civic liberty since the arrival of our civilization upon

this continent;

Whereas, the wanton violation of this proscription was one of the chief causes of the

separation of the American people from their government in Great Britain;

Whereas, the Constitution so chartering the government of these United States, in Article

III

Section III, states that

"No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony oftwo Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Whereas, the Constitution so chartering the government of these United States, in the Fifth

Amendment, states that no person shall be

"deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due

process of law";

Whereas, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the President of these United States

have disregarded the plain text of the Constitution;

Whereas, in openly disregarding its founding document,

the government of these United

States has lost any semblance of legitimacy;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures has been an essential feature of the enforcement

of tyranny by every totalitarian government of the 20th century;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures is carefully calculated to quash all political

dissent amongst a captive people;

Whereas, the codification of such draconian measures

effectively nullifies all civil liberties

the people may hope to hold;

And whereas, the codification of such draconian measures is

an act of war against the

populace at large;

Therefore, be it declared that a

STATE OF WAR formally exists between the Government of

these United States and the People of these United States,

perpetrated by that Government

against the People.

We, the People of these United States, declare any and all attempts to enforce the provisions of

the NDAA to be unlawful, void, and of no force.

We declare ALL WHO voted in favor of the NDAA, and ALL WHO attempt to enforce the

NDAA to be traitors to these United States, punishable under law.

We SHALL DISOBEY, APPREHEND, OR RESIST WITH FORCE, at our discretion, any

person who attempts to enforce the provisions of the NDAA.

We SHALL NOT aggress against any Federal, State or local government employee who shall

not attempt to enforce or aid and abet the enforcement of the NDAA, they being as trapped as the

rest of the populace.

Such STATE OF WAR shall continue until the NDAA is stricken from the code of law, and all

who had hand in the NDAA are removed from positions of power.
