Tell Your Senators: Go On
Record for Ending the War
|
End the
Occupation!
This week, the Senate will hold its first
up-or-down vote on ending the war in Iraq. Tell your Senators to
support the Feingold-Reid legislation.
Restore Habeas
Corpus!
In the House, the leadership is deciding whether
or not to support legislation that will restore habeas corpus.
Tell Speaker Pelosi to allow this amendment to go
through.

This week, the Senate will finally have its
first up-or-down vote on ending the occupation of Iraq. Senators
Feingold and Reid have introduced legislation that will
effectively end the occupation and require the President to
start bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq within 120 days.
Which way will your
senators vote?
A very substantial portion of the House of
Representatives voted last week to immediately end the
occupation. A vast majority of Americans now realize that a
military "victory" is no longer possible in Iraq, and that our
troops are caught in the middle of a civil war.
Tell your senators to vote
for the Feingold-Reid amendment and start bringing our troops
home.

Tell Speaker Pelosi:
Allow Habeas Corpus Vote to Proceed
Courageous members of Congress are now
trying to restore the fundamental right of habeas corpus through
an amendment to the defense authorization bill. However, the
amendment must first pass through the House Rules Committee, and
support from the leadership is critical to get through that
committee.
So please drop a note to
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and ask that she support inclusion of the
habeas amendment in the Defense authorization bill.
Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal right
common to all modern judicial systems, which requires
independent judicial review of charges brought by the executive
branch. This right protects against the arbitrary practices of
kings, despots and dictators in imprisoning people on a whim.
Without habeas corpus, it's a
very slippery slope towards dictatorship. So
click
here to ask Speaker Pelosi to allow the habeas
amendment to proceed; we'll send a copy of your letter to your
representative as well.

Thank you for working to build a
better world.
