DON'T LET BUSH/CHENEY DISAPPEAR AND TORTURE ANY MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE
The HOUSE may vote on this as soon as TODAY! Please call your members of Congress at 888-355-3588 or 800-828-0498 and follow up by submitting the following page.

You would never know it from our own propaganda controlled corporate media, but the biggest news story in Canada right now, all over the front pages, is about a totally innocent man who was grabbed by our government and shipped to Syria where he was tortured for a year. So any promise that the Bush administration would not torture people is worthless when they think they can outsource such evil deeds to henchmen in other countries. Axis of evil indeed!
What protection do you or I have against having the same thing happen to us? There is only the writ of habeas corpus, enshrined originally in the Magna Carta of 1215, which required the king to called to account to justify on what charge a person is to be detained. It is by now well known that many of the so-called terrorists being detained in Guantanamo, Iraq, and in a multitude of secret CIA prisons around the world were seized without cause, or worse yet, sold into bondage. And yet, Bush is still trying to jam through Congress a complete gutting of any meaningful rights of these detainees to have a just day in court.
It is a national disgrace that, in an attempt to keep hidden the hideous mistakes of the Bush administration, these detainees should be forever denied a fair hearing in the light of day. The Supreme Court has ALREADY ruled recently that the right of habeas corpus is sacrosanct. How shameful is it that any member of Congress would even consider attempting AGAIN to turn our legal system back to the dark ages of medieval dictators and barbarism?
ACTION PAGE: http://staceyforcongress.com/petitions/pnum508.php
This alert is brought to you through the activism of Stacey Tallitsch, running for the U.S. House in the 1st Congressional district, and one of the leading progressive voices in the state of Louisiana. Many of you have already submitted his action page calling for the troops in Iraq to start coming home now, a policy that is more surely correct with every passing state of emergency in Baghdad.
Stacey has been running call to action radio spots in this district , calling for an end of the obstinate occupation of Iraq, a military escapade which has brought nothing but death and destruction to both their country and our own. And he has produced a new one for the TV, confronting the Iraq lies of the Bush administration. You can see the new spot on this page.
TV SPOT DONATIONS: http://www.staceyforcongress.com/petitions/donations3.php
Nobody can predict how a particular race will turn out. But we know that the spots we ran on impeachment had tremendous secondary impact, as TWO other groups were inspired to run their own call to action ads on this issue as a result of the investment we made in this action. If you are able to do so, please make whatever donation you can to continue the stand we are taking on issue after issue.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
