PANDA Nevada (People Against the National Defense Authorization Act) has announced the passage of a Las Vegas City Council Resolution defeating the indefinite detention provisions of the 2012 NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act).
Just before noon on Wednesday, the honorable Las Vegas City Council passed a resolution rebuking the indefinite detention provisions of the 2012 NDAA, 5-2. The resolution may be read here at: http://tinyurl.com/cyu5bue. The Resolution will now head to the Clark County Commission; if passed, it would be the first Joint City/County Resolution passed in response to the NDAA.
The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2011. The 2012 NDAA declares the United States to be a battlefield in the war on terror and Section 1021 & 1022 authorize the indefinite military detention, without charge or trial, of persons on US soil.
This violates at least 23 Articles of and Amendments to both the US and Nevada Constitutions.
PANDA’s Clark County Chapter Head, Daphne Lee, stated,
I am so incredibly grateful to the honorable Council members for supporting our efforts. I would especially like to thank Councilman Beers for helping me introduce this resolution to the board, and to Mayor Goodman for her amazing vocal support for the rights of all persons in Nevada. This action will support other cities, counties and states all over the country who seek to take a stand to protect constitutional rights.
Christopher Corbett, PANDA Nevada State Team Leader, said, “This is an important first victory in the fight to restore and protect civil liberties in Nevada. Hopefully this resolution will encourage the rest of Nevada to pass similar resolutions and state legislation.”
There is already action under way to pass similar Resolutions in Northern Nevada. Both the Washoe County Commission and Reno City Council have agrees to look at this issue in the next 30 days.
State Senator, Don Gustavson, has also submitted a bill to be considered during the 2013 Nevada legislative session. The Nevada Liberty Preservation Act (SB378), which has 16 bi-partisan cosponsors, will lead the way in restoring Constitutional rights to all persons in Nevada.
This movement is just getting started. “We the People” will take back this great nation, one city, county, and state at a time.

Thanks for posting PANDA Nevada press release!
I sent the following email out this evening.
Good evening! I am sending this email as time is of the essence and we are facing a deadline at the Nevada State Legislature. All bills must pass first committee by 4/12/2013.
If we want to see this bill pass the Nevada Legislature, it must pass The Nevada Senate judiciary Committee first. Emails will not work with him. He doesn’t care about emails. We are asking people to contact his office directly by phone, fax or hand delivered hand written letters. I would like his office to hear from us everyday until we get the bill out of his desk drawer and in front of his committee. We really need your help on this one. If you are local to the legislature, a hand written letter will carry the most weight.
SB378 The Nevada Liberty Preservation Act
Talking points:
Please urge Senator Segerblom to bring SB378 up for a vote in committee. Sitting on this bill would be political suicide. His oath of office demands he support, protect and defend the civil liberties of his constituents, above all else. Thirty-one states are working on legislation dealing with the NDAA. Las Vegas City Council, on 3/20/2013, passed an NDAA resolution of non-compliance. What’s more important than civil liberties?
Senator Tick Segerblom
775-684-1422 Office
702-385-2909 Fax ( This is 702 area code. I will see if he has a 775 fax #)
Please spread the word. All of our efforts fail if we fail to get this bill through committee.
Segerblom? Good luck with that.
Las Vegas and Clark County could signal the end for top down Democracy and could represent the beginning of the people’s democracy, a democracy where the citizens rule and tell the political elite what to do instead of the other way around.
I can only dream that the People of this great nation stand together to get the usurpers out of our midst.
The whole lot of them must be replaced.
And here I thought “Common Sense” was dead in Amerika.
