I am writing as your constituent in the 5th Congressional district of Colorado. I am furious about the actions Congress has taken on H.R.1540 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. I am a Peace Corps volunteer currently serving in the Philippines, and I did not join an organization devoted to peace so that I could come home after two years to a police state. This bill is shameful and disgusting.
Rep. Lamborn, your most-recent roll call vote on this bill was 'Aye'. Shame o... -

I am writing as your constituent in the 7th Congressional district of Washington. I strongly oppose the dangerous "War on Terror" rhetoric and indefinite detention clauses of H.R.1540 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, and ask you to do the same. The definition of the entire world as a battlefield and the notion that we are in a constant state of war without any endpoint is paving the way for the destruction of the most central American values. Furthermore, the prov...

I am writing as your constituent in the 25th Congressional district of Texas. I oppose H.R.1540 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, and I urge you to vote AGAINST it.

In a recent NYT article by Charles C. Krulak and Joseph P. Hoar, these retired four-star Marine generals decry this... -

I am writing as your constituent in the 21st Congressional district of Florida. I oppose H.R.1540 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org. I feel that this bill is unconstitutional because it says that if the government deems anyone to be a suspected terroist they can hold them indefinetly, even American citizens. This goes against everything our Revolution was fought for and what our founding principles and ideals where all about....
