[killgreed]

last year July 17 Executive order that gives the gov't the right to detain U.S. citizens without right or even informing your family or any one. You could simply disappear, they can seize all your property also! We have more of our population in prison than any other country! more than China/Russia combined! On Jan. 06 Haliburton subcontracted to the Department of Homeland Security a contract worth 385 million to build detention camps in the U.S. over a five year period! Revolt
