Did my congressman support the NDAA?

Want to find out if your congressman voted for the NDAA? Unfortunately it is much easier to ask “did my congressman oppose the NDAA?” It is a much shorter list for both the house and the senate. If you live anywhere other than Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah or Vermont both of your senators voted “Yea.” Only in Oregon did both senators vote “Nay.”

A detailed list can be found here

If you live in the United States of America at least one of your representatives in the house voted “aye.” Sorry. You can find out how your district rep voted here

If you have not heard yet the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is an annual bill that provisions funding for the US Military. This year an additional section was included that basically allows the military to indefinitely detain any American who is a terrorist or who is associated with a terrorist group. The problem that most people have with this is that it violates the Constitution which guarantees U.S. citizens the right to due process. Forbes has a very informative article on the subject.

It’s time for ordinary Americans to stand up for liberty and vote these bastards out of office.
