My friend Jehan made this very accessible and non-emotionally charged site explaining the NDAA in straightforward and simple terms. A perfect link to share with those who who aren’t familiar and don’t fully understand what it means and what the controversy is.
(Don’t forget to spread this on your social media outlets!)

Her new book is called “Deadly Monopolies: The Shocking Corporate Takeover of Life Itself—And the Consequences for Your Health and Our Medical Future.”
