Declaring Opposition to Federal Measures That Infringe on Civil Liberties


This is New Mexico



This is New Mexico's New Bill

The state of New Mexico has passed a bill that affirms Constitutional liberties, no matter what the Feds say. The bill instructs state cops to refuse to cooperate in unconstitutional searches and wiretaps, to abstain from assisting the INS and to ignore TIPS snitches. Likewise, librarians are required to post signs warning patrons that the FBI could be snooping on their reading habits, and the state official in charge of homeland security is required to get twice-annual disclosure from the Feds about the names and dispositions of every victim of unconstitutional secret arrest, detainment and surveillance. found at incuBLOGula via BB

The town I live in now has passed a similar resolution, but this is the first State resolution that I know of.
During these times in which our Constitutional rights are being chiseled away by the federal government, secret trials and secret evidence are being legitimized by the PATRIOT Act, individuals are being jailed for months without charge, and fear is being used as a tool for shaping domestic policy, it is up to local governments to take a stand for due process, civil liberties, and human rights.
