Glad you found a topic to work with. I agree that it is workable, but sources could be difficult. Nothing you can't handle though. I would suggest working with the library either in person or online to find useful sources. I will be curious to hear what your argument will be in the proposal, as it looks like you have found the conversation surrounding the NDAA, you just have to decide how to join it and what to say.

I'm on a roll with NDAA

I am becoming very interested in this topic and even though it will be difficult to find a lot of creditable sources since it is so new I think I might write my paper on this. This bill could have drastic affects on how everyday americans live and is relevant to all of us so I think it would be a really good subject. I found this article which has some good info but it does seem highly bias, which with the wording of the bill may not be a bad thing and could be considered as supporting the all the american people.

Anonymous

Anonymous is a group of hackers who have been recognized for causing quite a bit of mayhem on servers on many major companies but in there latest video they outraged by the National Defense Authorization Act and tell the US Senate to "Be ready" because they are their newest target. I don't think this would be a very creditable source but the video is relevant and interesting either way. If you haven't watched it yet you should it does explain the controversial sections of the bill in clear terminology.

More Nuclear

So I wanted to find some good creditable sources arguing the exact opposite and for nuclear power I have done it.

This first guy feels that nuclear power is a green and practical solution for power

Saier, Milton H., and Jack T. Trevors. "Is Nuclear Energy the Solution?" Springerlink. 19 Dec. 2009. Web. .
This two authors feel exactly opposite of the other guy. They feel that nuclear is not green at all and is also way to expensive and dangerous to ever be a practical solution.

First creditable NDAA

The International Action Center is committed to the building broad-based grassroots coalitions to oppose to U.S. wars abroad while fighting against racism and economic exploitation of workers here at home. I like this source cause it is arguing exactly what I wanted to look into. If the NDAA goes against our bill of rights.

Prospector

I found a book called Nuclear Energy: Power from the Atom. It is a cool source because it talks the basics of nuclear power at the atomic level all the way to advanced reactors and their environmental impacts.

Books?

First I tried to find a book on the National Defense Authorization Act for the 2012 fiscal year and as I had suspected there weren’t any published books on this. This made sense to me because the bill was signed into law only three months ago so that hasn’t given political scientists an adequate amount of time to write a book examining the effects this will have on United State Citizens. So instead began looking for a book on the pro’s and con’s of nuclear power plants. This has been a largely debated topic for many years so it was easy to find books on the topic. I found a book called Nuclear Energy: What Everyone Needs to Know. This book should be very helpful in doing my research because it talks about the cost of producing the plants, how long they take to build, how polluting they are, and as the title say’s everything someone needs to know about these plants.
