MIDDLETON, ID – In a unanimous vote of 4-0, the Middleton, Idaho city council banned the application of the NDAA and the laws of war within their city. With the passage of the Middleton resolution, 5 cities have now stood for the Constitutional rights of their people.
What's
unique about this win though, is the sincerity and quick action of the
council. Middleton is a little city, with a big heart.
The 2012 NDAA, or National Defense Authorization Act,
contains two provisions, sections 1021 and 1022, which violate over 14
provisions of the U.S. Constitution. These sections, known as the
detention provisions, allow for the indefinite military detention of any
person, including an American citizen, without charge or trial.
Further, they allow for the extrajudicial execution, torture, and
rendition of any person held in military custody, as well as the lockdown of American cities under military control.
Middleton joins Albany, NY, Webster and Oxford, MA, Gem County, and Emmett, ID in declaring their city is not a battlefield, not subject to the laws of war and no person will:
“arrest
or capture any person in Middleton, or citizen of Middleton within the
United States, with the intent of “detention under the law of war,” or
actually subject a person in Middleton to “disposition under the law of war,” or
subject any person to targeted killing in Middleton, or citizen of Middleton within the United States”
PANDA Idaho’s Jason Casella noted:
“Panda
Idaho would like to congratulate the great people of Middleton who have
now become the second city in Idaho to block indefinite detention and
laws of war. They have elected a fine group to represent them. I have
been to a lot of city council meetings and have never seen one so
efficient and detail oriented. The people applaud Middleton's council
for honoring their oath and doing so with no reservations.”
As
Jason said, the city council of Middleton deserves some special
recognition. In most cities and counties, including all of the above,
the NDAA Resistance had to apply massive pressure to get anything
passed.
In Middleton, it was different. Thanks
to the behind-the scenes work of Councilor Lenny Riccio, when the
Resistance presented the Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution
for their consideration, the council did not hesitate. They understood
their oaths, acting from their hearts. Without a word, and with only
three citizens in the chambers asking them to defend the rights of their
people, the council did not hesitate.
Acting
on one accord, after less than 10 minutes of discussion, the Middleton
City Council passed the RCGR unanimously on Wednesday.
PLEASE
take the time with us to thank one of the city council members or mayor
of Middleton for their relentless dedication to liberty:
Mayor Darin Taylor:
Rob Kiser:
Carrie Huggins:
Brad Spencer
Lenny Riccio
The
NDAA Resistance is rising. 6 jurisdictions have already banned the
NDAA/laws of war from their area. Yours could be next. Get started, and
