DESCRIPTION:COME TO A PROTEST AGAINST LEGISLATION (NDAA) CONGRESS IS APPROVING (AND 
 PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS NOW SAID HE WILL SIGN) TO ALLOW THE INDEFINITE 
 DETENTION OF US CITIZENS AND OTHERS IN OUR COUNTRY AND AROUND THE 
 WORLD.\n\nSPEAK OUT IN SF AGAINST THE NDAA AND FOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS ON 
 IT'S 220TH ANNIVERSARY, TODAY\n\nToday, Thursday, December 15, 2011, is the 
 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights.  At the same time, a bill that 
 will undercut civil liberties, called the National Defense Authorization 
 Act (NDAA), is moving through Congress and to President Obama for his 
 signature as early as today.  Although he promised to veto it, he now 
 appears to be poised to sign it.  There will be a speak out against it and 
 for the Bill of Rights at noon today at 101 Market Street.  An open mic 
 will give the public the opportunity to talk about the Bill of Rights, and 
 to raise the danger posed to our civil liberties by the NDAA.\n\nAccording 
 to the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and the ACLU, the NDAA would allow 
 the US military to indefinitely detain US citizens without due process, 
 which is a violation of the Bill of Rights.  San Francisco is among many 
 cities around the country where there will be public events held in honor 
 of the 220th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights, which will also be an 
 opportunity to shine a light on the the NDAA and it's threat to civil 
 liberties.\n\nThe San Franciso event is being organized by the San 
 Francisco 99% Coalition* in cooperation with the Bill of Rights Defense 
 Committee (http://bordc.org/ndaa/).\n\n*The San Francisco 99% Coalition 
 works in coalition with and supports groups which promote nonviolent 
 advocacy for more equitable social, economic and environmental public 
 policies.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/12/15/18702803.php
