Protest Against the NDAA and EEA Feb 4

The Revolutionary Students Union in conjunction with Occupy Provo is taking a stand against the ongoing assault on our civil liberties! This Saturday, February 4,  at noon we will be converging on the Provo Courthouse (Center and University Ave) and marching to the Federal Building (90 west 100 north) to protest the National Defense Authorization Act and the Enemy Expatriation Act.
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, signed into law by president Barack Obama on December 31, 2011, is an assault on the civil liberties of all Americans and should be treated accordingly.
The most terrifying provisions are located within sub-section 1021 of Title X, Subtitle D, entitled “Counter-Terrorism." Provision 1021 affirms the president's authority to detain without trial, via the armed services, any person whether a U.S. citizen or otherwise. Section 1245 is also very worrisome as it places sanctions upon the Central Bank of Iran which effectively block Iranian oil exports to countries that do business with the United States. Pushing us one step closer to war with Iran.
The Enemy Expatriation Act (H.R. 3166) which is being sponsored by Congressmen Joe Lieberman and Charles Dent, allows the U.S. government to take away the citizenship of any American they identify as a
 threat. Unbelievably, as this act stands now, it would allow the U.S. government to expatriate citizens without even bringing them before a court of law.
