President Obama must Veto the Defense of America Act. It erodes basic American freedoms and shreds the Bill of Rights.

Created by C.S. on December 15, 2011

My petition asks President Obama to veto the Defense Of America Act and save the Bill of Rights for all Americans.

It removes habeas corpus from the equation if someone is merely accused of supporting a terrorist group. This applies to American citizens as well as non citizens.What if the 99% and OWS movement is declared to be a terrorist group? Or the Tea Party movement? Anyone at a rally can be jailed without trial, without access to a lawyer, indefinitely. This cannot become law.

Please sign this petition and let the President know that this kind of legislation is the wrong path for America.
