Dan Johnson is 19 years old, an Eagle Scout, and Founder of People Against the NDAA. He is a Political Science Major at Bowling Green State University, and speaks a moderate amount of Japanese. He was always interested in politics, and is a staunch Civil Liberties advocate.
He has been among the most vocal NDAA activists and will be appearing on tonights Bob Tuskin Radio Show to discuss how him and his organization have been fighting back against the NDAA.
Recently Dan recently recalled in an article what inspired him to get involved in this struggle against the NDAA:
On December 31st, 2011, in the dead of night, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law. On that day, the Bill of Rights was shattered in the interest of the “War on Terror.” He also wrote a signing statement saying that “my administration will not detain American citizens” and was very hesitant to sign the bill into law.
Then, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals placed Section 1021 of the NDAA back into effect.
The NDAA is typically a mundane bill that appropriates funding for the military for the current year. However, c allows anyone including American citizens to be detained indefinitely by the military…no trial, no charges, no day in court.
When the NDAA was signed into law I, along with many others, took notice and took action. Tangerine Bolen, founder of Revolution Truth, journalist Chris Hedges, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, Professor Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Kai Wargalla and Alexa O’Brien filed a lawsuit against the NDAA within 30 days of its signing. They would become known as the “Freedom 7,” and were immediately launched into the spotlight.
Learn more about Dan Johnson, his activism, and recent efforts to roll back the NDAA on tonight’s Bob Tuskin Radio Show.
