As the National Defense Authorization Act 2014 heads to Obama’s desk as an even more draconian piece of legislation than it was previously, states have taken notice and are beginning to intensify their efforts to nullify it.
Michigan was the latest to opt for full nullification after Governor Rick Snyder (R) signed bill SB0094 into law.
New Hampshire has now taken a critical step toward nullification with the introduction of their bill HB1279, scheduled to be formally presented on January 8th, 2014.
New Hampshire’s bill has bipartisan support among its five sponsors, and is based on the model legislation of The Tenth Amendment Center. While other states like Michigan have offered some opposition contained in their legislation, many lack the thorough resistance being proposed by the “Live Free or Die” state of New Hampshire.
The following analysis introduces the bill:
This bill prohibits the state, political subdivisions, and the national guard from participating in enforcement of the counterterrorism detainment provisions of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
The full text is as follows:
CHAPTER 642-A3
PROTECTION FROM MILITARY ACTION
642:1 Protection Against Military Action Within New Hampshire. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no New Hampshire agency, political subdivision, or employee of either acting in his or her official capacity, and no member of the New Hampshire national guard when such member is serving in the national guard, may knowingly engage in any activity that aids an agency of or the armed forces of the United States in the execution of 50 U.S.C. section 1541 as provided by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112-18, section 1021, or any other similar law, order or regulation, in the investigation, arrest, detention, extra-judicial transfer to foreign jurisdictions or entities, military tribunal or trial, of any person within the United States. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to prevent cooperation with federal civilian authorities not acting pursuant to 50 U.S.C. section 1541, as provided by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112-18, section 1021, or any other similar law, order, or regulation.
Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2015.
This type of legislation is essential, as it prohibits the much-needed local cooperation required by such federal dictates as the NDAA. It also closes the gaps left in other states’ legislation.
Michael Boldin explains:
It bans indefinite detention assistance to not just the U.S. Armed Forces, but any federal agency. It also broadens the scope beyond the specific sections of the 2012 NDAA to “any other similar law, order or regulation.” (emphasis added) [Source]
The Tenth Amendment Center comments on the significance of the strategy behind their model legislation:
Our research shows that at least 80% of all federal enforcement actions rely heavily on such “partnerships,” and that’s a very conservative estimate. The Liberty Preservation Act would ban this law enforcement participation.
When the federal government carries out an enforcement action, it not only relies on state or local law enforcement to carry the burden of much of the physical enforcement actions, it also relies heavily on logistics and information-sharing with state agencies. Whether the information is provided by fusion centers (which are often heavily funded by states and operated by them) or through sharing agreements, the Liberty Preservation Act would ban such actions. It would also ban all logistics assistance, setting up road blocks, putting on handcuffs, use of state or local jail or prison facilities, and the like.
[...]
As James Madison said, such a “refusal to cooperate” when done in multiple states can effectively stop federal acts by creating “obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”
An interactive map of other states that have nullified or propose to nullify the NDAA are available here. Take action in your state now to ensure that the United States as a whole can regain its position as a Republic based on immovable constitutional principles, and show the federal government that any time they attempt to roll out tyranny, we will be there to roll it back.
Why are our elected representatives mute on this?
ALL states should live under the motto "Live Free Or Die!"
2014: Make it a truly Happy New Year by impeaching and removing the cancerous growth occupying the White Hut!
South Carolina passed it in the Senate on Dec 27... Can’t yet find out about the House.

‘Looks Like Weimar Germany’: The Viral Photo Out of Connecticut That’s Giving Some Gun Owners Chills Dec. 31, 2013 10:32pm Jason Howerton
A now-viral photo showing a long line of Connecticut residents waiting to register their guns and ammo is circulating across the Internet — and it’s sending chills down the backs of some gun owners.

Wasn’t the NDAA passed by Congress and signed into law by...a republican? Bush if I recall.
Because all they are interested in is: getting re-elected; being called "Congressman" or "Senator;" self-aggrandizement; being wined and dined by lobbyists and filling their pockets with cash. Those that they represent or the Constitution, is never part of the equation.
Instead of being in line to register their guns, they should have been in line to escape that state and get back into America.
What is the NDAA? This article fails to say.
To Google!
Hell will indeed be overcrowded.
Bush was, and is, a congenial dolt who did what HIS handlers told him to do. He wasn’t a criminal he was just in over his head at a time when America needed a sharp, permanent turn to the right.
Instead, America got a sharp turn to the left, over the cliff and down to a hell on earth.
National Defense Authorization Act
Amen to that.
I loved all the photo ops of Bush out on the ranch in Crawford mending fences...what a freaking joke.
Baby Bush (born in Connecticut) and Daddy H.W.Bush (born in Massachusetts) are no more Texan than Obozo. They both were born up in the Northeast and dragged their Northeastern way of thinking down here to Texas.
Just like “The Maverick for Change” McCain. It's just embarrassing to refer to McCain as the Maverick for change. Nauseates me. The American electorate just eats this stuff up hook, line and sinker. We have some of the dumbest voters in the freaking world. Spoon fed by the MSM propaganda machine.

I got that much. It is, after all, the act that guarantees that I get paid.
What I don’t get is what, specifically, about the act that needs to be opposed? Has something nefarious been attached to it?
The Hitler “quote” is widely and easily discredited. Hitler is like Yogi Berra, he never said most of the things he said. It does not bolster your arguments to use easily discredited quotes.
VERY POORLY written article.
The first rule is to introduce your subject!
There is no clue as what the objectionable elements of the NDAA were, such that the reader has a hint at what the States are objecting to.
Had to read past 6 paragraphs to get that info.
The moslem communist governor, Hassan, will never sign it.
It will have to be passed over her veto.
This bill prohibits the state, political subdivisions, and the national guard from participating in enforcement of the counterterrorism detainment provisions of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
In other words, the central socialist government can load up your state with illegal, dangerous alien Democrat voters and you can't do a damned thing about it!
I agree that historically typical journalese taught in America’s universities the subject was to be contained in the first paragraph and what follows was just additional info that supports the article’s thesis.
As you well know the vomit that gets regurgitated out of Congress is designed to make little or no sense. These fools are called legislators and they believe they must do a lot of that.
This irony of this is that it has so far only been passed in mostly blue states: California, Virginia, and Michigan, along with Alaska. And despite whatever motives they have for doing so, the red states finally have, or *should* have, clear agreement in this authoritarian nightmare.
Any Republican who thinks this NDAA is a good idea, such as McCain and Graham, are further showing how really out of kilter their worldview is. And I’ll put George W. Bush in there as well.
The enemy is out there. The enemy is not here. Quit treating Americans like we were Taliban in Pakistan.
If you want to keep such malevolent characters out of the US, then do so. Don’t let them in, then say all America must be a prison because they dwell here.
NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act, the defense budget, the military’s budget.
It is part of the yearly PB (Presidents Budget) submission to congress.
