Dennis Kucinich: 2008 Defense Authorization Bill authorizes use of US military for domestic purposes

Fri Nov 09th 2007, 09:01 AM

Representative Dennis Kucinich reported this during an interview with WINZ Miami radio station this morning. He is reading through this bill and for the first time last evening, noticed this language that has been inserted into the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill.

He said that this language jumped off the page at him and that he was very concerned that people learn about this provision that would authorize domestic operations for the US military.

This is a PDF file. I have typed out the pertinent section. 

HR 1585

Section 1615, page 672 (of 794)

(Under TITLE XVI, NATIONAL GUARD ENHANCEMENT)

.....

Please call/write your members of Congress to alert them to this language and its implications.

Thank you, Representative Kucinich, for your dedication to the people of this country.
