Rob Andrews Targeted By Opponents Of Indefinite Imprisonment

Posted on January 5 2012 by Congress Watcher

Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the already infamous National Defense Authorization Act. The law, signed into law by Barack Obama on New Year’s Eve, allows the federal government to arrest people in the United States without criminal charge, and hold the captives as prisoners for very long periods of time without any criminal trial. That’s a blatant violation of the due process and fair trial requirements of the fifth and sixth amendments to the Constitution.

National Defense Authorization Act consequencesYesterday, the mysterious hacker group Anonymous began releasing videos listing the members of the U.S. House who had voted to approve the unconstitutional imprisonment provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act, calling for accountability.

The list of targets was bipartisan. Among those listed as targets for consequences was Robert Andrews, a Democrat who represents the first congressional district in New Jersey.

    Dear Congressman Andrews,

    I am writing to you as a voter in your district.

    1) I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th.
    The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urge my representative to vote “no” on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.

    Over coming days you’ll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation.

    I hope you’ll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting “no” on cloture.

    2) Notification of nationwide live protest; — On: Friday, February 03 2012 Noon to 7PM
    Expect, a peaceful live protest at your offices.
    We will peacefully educate the public about your poor choice and hope you will re consider.

    I personally, am exceedingly concerned about the potential for abuse written there in the NDAA 12-31-12 And you should be also.

    Looks you square in your eyes…..
    Congressman Andrews,
    I am utterly appalled that you would support the kidnapping of New Jersey Citizens by the military!~!
    ~ Congressman Andrews Voted Yes To
    Indefinite Military Detention
    ~Without, a trial~
    The Army can now kidnap our children! ~

    Vote For Congressman Ron Paul
    Defender Of The Constitution
    Libertarian
    On the Republican GOP ticket

    3) I am expecting you to Endorse: Congressman, Ron Paul 2012 President
    -Looks at you again- Unlike other Congressmen that like to infringe on our bill of rights.

    Congressman, Ron Paul is all about our Constitution and preservation of our rights.

    Respectfully, XXXXXXXXXXXX
    Neighborhood Watch Block Captain
