Still MORE on martial law

i can honestly say i feel more strongly about this than almost anything else that's come down the pike... maybe it's because it feeds into my already heightened sense of paranoia, or, just possibly, i am sensing a real threat here... i tend to think it's the latter... anyway, check this out, and, if you can, take action... any work you've done helping move things forward for the upcoming election is critical, the vote you cast is critical, but this may be THE most critical issue of all... please, take it seriously...

This is it. We are going to make Congress repeal Section 1076 of the National Defense Appropriations Act of 2007: the paragraphs that gut the Posse Comitatus Act and smooth the President's path towards declaring martial law. It begins here and now.

We're going to do this by making every incumbent and every challenger for federal offices and governorships take a stand on the repeal of Section 1076.

If you're wondering what all this is about, this is a good place to start [previous diary on daily kos].

We're going to raise the profile of this obscene abuse of executive power by letting the people of this country know what has just been done to them under a cloak of secrecy and cloud of confusion. We're going to talk on the radio. We're going to write letters. We're going to send faxes and make calls.

I have started an organization with an unwieldy name but a good acronym: FINGER. The symbol for FINGER is one raised finger. No, not that one - the index finger. The ones that we've seen Iraqis raising when they vote. Because our struggle for our democracy is now no less critical or momentous than theirs.

many thanks to major danby at daily kos for getting this ball rolling... let's just hope it's not too late...
