Posted by Brent Crowder elsewhere: Thanks to the efforts of Frank Turney and Fairbanks Assembly sponsors Natalie Howard and Michael Dukes, the following resolution against Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA passed unanimously. Perhaps, it is time for Governor Parnell to take action at a state level since Murkowski, Begich and Young have failed to object to Sections 1021 and 1022.

A RESOLUTION AGAINST USE OF ANY BOROUGH RESOURCE TO ASSIST ANY ALASKA OR UNITED STATES AGENCY, TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA), OR MILITARY ARMED FORCE IN IMPLEMENTING SECTIONS 1021 AND 1022 OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2012 AGAINST ANY UNITED STATES CITIZEN AND REQUESTING THAT THE ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE, GOVERNOR OF ALASKA AND CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION PRESERVE HABEAS CORPUS
