PANDA Wyoming announces the introduction of HB 114, the Wyoming Liberty Preservation Act, and issues a call to action to ensure it passes committee.
On December 31st, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, containing provisions which authorized the indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition (and assassination) of anyone around the world without charge or trial. This law marked one of the darkest eras in American history, declaring the United States a battlefield and legally subject to the laws of war.
PANDA (People Against the NDAA) has been fighting back. Founded in January 2012, PANDA has grown to be the largest organization in the nation fighting indefinite detention and the NDAA. Since the launch of Operation Homeland Liberty, PANDA has started state teams in almost 25 states, and reaches thousands daily with the message of liberty.
Now, in the second shot (after BDR 728 in Nevada) to be fired across the Federal government’s bow, HB 114 has been introduced in Wyoming. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Kendell Kroeker and co-sponsored by Rep. David Miller, Rep. Hans Hunt, and Sen. Cale Case, will protect the liberty of the citizens of Wyoming by prohibiting the unconstitutional provisions of the 2012 NDAA to be enforced here.
“The Constitution of the United States has the Bill of Rights for a reason,” said Representative Kroeker, “I take an oath to support, obey, and defend the Constitution and I take that seriously. When the federal government passes legislation that violates the constitution, it is our duty as a state to make sure we protect the rights of our citizens.”
Now, in order to protect the rights of the citizens of Wyoming, we must take swift action. On Tuesday, January 29, 2013, the Wyoming Liberty Preservation Act will be voted on in the House Transportation, Highways, and Military Affairs committee. There are however, Representatives on that committee who do not understand the seriousness of this issue and the importance of securing our inalienable rights.
Call these legislators immediately and demand they honor their oath, and stand up for the rights of all Wyoming citizens. Demand these representatives pass the Wyoming Liberty Preservation Act:

Rep. David Zwonitzer: (307) 630-1955 |
Rep. Rita Campbell: (307) 850-7364 |

Rep. Robert McKim: (307) 248-2564 |

I assume that you know whom we have to thank for the NDDA, if you are not aware of the individuals that proposed the Bill to Obama who then turned it into law, it was RINO Senator John McCain and his good old buddy Senator Carl Levine.
One would have thought that two long term Senators would have known that what they proposed and Obama was eager to sign into law, was unconstitutional, but it mattered not to all three of them.
Meanwhile my Congressman continues to support the NDAA. He tells us over and over it doesn’t say what we know it does! His office gets quite upset when this is brought up to him. After all, Obama wouldn’t sign it unless this was in the Bill. More and more I believe there is not a dimes’ worth of difference between Republican and Democrats Only difference is in what they tell us to get elected. Seems to matter not who wins.
