S3081 Indefinite Detention
of Americans Act
Contact Sheet (PDF 380KB)

INDIANA – As reported earlier this week, Senator John McCain introduced bill “S.3081 – Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010” on March 4th, 2010 that seeks to wholly usurp the Constitution denying Americans access to ARTICLE III courts. The language of the bill, now available from the Government Printing Office authorizes the indefinite detention of Americans and disallows notification of Miranda Rights, thereby obstructing access to any sort of legal counsel.

Currently the bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Thus we must now undertake the task of ensuring this bill does not make it out of committee in any fashion whatsoever. Therefore, please consider downloading the PDF contact sheet which lists all relevant contact information for all Senators currently on board with supporting such draconian legislation, including telephone number of newly elected “Tea-Party” candidate Scott Brown. Telephone numbers are also provided to both the Majority and Minority switchboards in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Further, the PDF contains hyperlinks to both the GPO text of the bill as well as to OpenCongress and GovTrack which will serve to help track the bill’s lifespan.
