OLYMPIA, Washington (PNN) - January 15, 2014 - The Washington state campaign to cut off all utilities and services to the Amerikan Gestapo National Security Agency (NSA) division facilities in that state achieved its first success on Wednesday.

In a bipartisan move, State Rep. David Taylor (Moxee) and State Rep. Luis Moscoso (Mountlake Terrace) introduced HB.2272 based on model language drafted by the OffNow coalition. It would make it the policy of Washington “to refuse material support, participation, or assistance to any federal agency which claims the power, or with any federal law, rule, regulation, or order which purports to authorize, the collection of electronic data or metadata of any person pursuant to any action not based on a warrant.”

The bill, if passed and signed into law, would prohibit state and local agencies from providing any material support to the NSA within their jurisdiction. This includes prohibiting state government-owned utilities from providing water and electricity.

It also makes intelligence gathering by NSA agents without a warrant - that may eventually be shared with terrorist pig thug cops - inadmissible as evidence in a state criminal proceeding. In addition, the law would block public universities from serving as NSA research facilities or recruiting grounds.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center’s communications director, Mike Maharrey, legislators in Kalifornia, Oklahoma and Indiana have already introduced similar bills. Washington counts as the first state with an actual NSA facility within its borders to consider the Fourth Amendment Protection Act.

The NSA operates a listening center on the Fascist Police States of Amerika Army’s Yakima Training Center. If the bill passes, it would set in motion actions to stop any state support of the Yakima Training Center as long as it remains in the state, and could make companies doing business with the NSA facility ineligible for any contracts with the state or its political subdivisions.

Maharrey says the bill's prohibition against using unconstitutionally gathered data in state court would probably have the most immediate impact. In fact, lawmakers in Kansas and Missouri will consider similar bills addressing this kind of data sharing.
