2013 NDAA Amendments/Changes are Smoke and Mirrors

This news needs to get out to all patriots ASAP, as the Senate is voting on the 2013 NDAA this week. There has been a lot of talk on recent Amendments to the 2013 NDAA. None of them will save our rights, and none of them are even a step in the right direction.

 

Please disseminate the attached legal reviews of all three changes that purportedly stop the NDAA, and why they do not and will not.

It's crucial we get this information out so "We the People" are not tricked again.

 

The Feinsten-Lee Amendment (formerly known as the Due Process Guarantee Act)

Rand Paul's Proposed 2013 NDAA Amendment:

NDAA Section 1033(a)

2013 NDAA Amendments/Changes are Smoke and Mirrors

Rand Paul's 2013 NDAA Amendment

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has introduced an amendment to the NDAA…and it does nothing to protect our inalienable rights. We would suggest that Sen. Paul use the Smith-Amash amendment introuduced earlier this year, and we are more than willing to work with the good Senator and his office.

PANDA however, will not support an amendment that does nothing to protect our rights.

Our official position is below:

Local Police Used to Set Up "Surveillance Buffer Zones" under DHS

'People are filmed on the street every day by businesses and others and don’t even know about it. Our agency is letting them know it’s happening and we are not trying to hide the fact that an area is under surveillance.'"

In other words: "We know spying without a warrant is wrong but hey, everyone else is doing it. And at least we're telling you:
