Unfortunately (number keys tend to stick on this computer keyboard, too) they're currently misidentifying Delegate Robert G. Marshall's bill as #1660, which would make it hard to trace at lis.virginia.gov. Here's the working link:
http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?121+ful+HB1160
This web site officially thanks Senator Webb for trying to get these precautions into NDAA before it was enacted into law, Delegate Marshall for introducing them as state law, and our own Delegate Kilgore for supporting them in committee.
Unfortunately, the battle's not over yet; the bill's still in committee. Fellow Virginians, please e-mail your Delegates now. (Don't know their e-mail? The formula is "Del[first initial][family name]@house.virginia.gov.")
Governor McDonnell also needs to know where we stand. I'm told that e-mails on this subject are being handled by staffer Adam Zubowsky, and have received a sample letter all Virginians are welcome to use as a model for their own e-mails to the Governor. (If you're not part of a grassroots lobbying group the Governor knows well, I recommend putting your real city/state/zip line in your letter so he'll know you're a bona fide constituent.)
Residents of other States are welcome to take similar measures. This is not a "revolt" against the federal government; it's a temporary measure intended to encourage Congress to bring the NDAA back into line with the U.S. Constitution.

Governor of Virginia
Re: HB 1160 Unlawful detention of U.S. citizens;
Resign the Council of Governors
Governor McDonnell,
We are writing to you to urge your support of HB 1160 in the current GA session.
HB 1160 is Delegate Marshall’s response to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA 2012) … and to the Act’s hideous affront to the American People by that Act’s flagrant disregard of the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments of the Bill of Rights. The Act also violates the Constitution of Virginia and suspends posse comitatus, a long standing American tradition by act of law (18 U.S.C. § 1385).
The NDAA 2012 is de facto violation of the Natural Rights of the People of Virginia. After all, without avail to remedy in Law, no man or woman sitting in a federal Gulag cell is apt to believe that he or she is possessed of an unencumbered free exercise of Liberty.
With consideration to the above and acting in your capacity as the Chief Magistrate of Virginia, we would like to receive your assurances that you will support Bill 1160 to your fullest extent.
We also ask that you resign from the Council of Governors, being that:
The Council of Governors is an extra-state regional government which lies outside the jurisdiction permitted to the federal power by the organic Compact, the Constitution for the united States. Being so, creation of the Council is an act of Lawlessness. And so being, a participation in the Council must necessarily be a participation in Lawlessness by all sitting Council Governors. Also, the Council of Governors is unfriendly to, hostile to and inconsistent with the letter and intent of the Constitution of Virginia.
Many of Virginia’s People feel that, taken with the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act and the recent passage of the NDAA 2012, that the Council actively abets, enables and facilitates what is seen to be by many Virginians, an emerging American police state.
Accordingly, we ask that you disassociate and distance yourself from the illegitimacy that is the Council of Governors.
Fidelity to your oaths of office, fulfillment of your trustee obligations to the organic constitutions, this is how you may best honor the sovereign wishes and God-given Natural Rights of the good People of Virginia.
Thank you for your consideration in these matters,
And with our best wishes extended to you,
Dave Mason
Vice Chairman
Constitution Party of Virginia
