Seems like we should have been protesting BEFORE passage.

Along this line of thinking, we can complain, protest, try to make a lot of noise to impact future laws like NDAA, but we won't really see any fruit from these efforts until we organize ourselves to speak loudly with one voice. By loudly, I mean hit 'em where it hurts with major impact - in their wallets. Imagine an organization of 1 million people who all on the same day stopped shopping at Walmart or withdrew their money from a big national bank and moved that money to a single credit union.
