make it clear that the people of the united states abhor what the lameduck president condones...

this past saturday, with a single stroke of his veto pen, on-his-way-out-of-office-sans-middle-east-peace-agreement president bush blocked a tough law forbidding the cia from using waterboarding and other despicable interrogation "techniques,"...you and i, we, can't let him have the last word...

in the face of this brutal affront to human rights, we must show that president bush does not represent the vast majority of american citizens...this starts with each and every one of us acting in our own communities...

it took thousands of calls, letters and emails from human rights activists like you to persuade congress to pass tough anti-torture legislation...and now, it's going to take just as much energy and determination to counter bush’s unconscionable veto...

let's make it clear that torture is wrong everywhere, all the time, no matter the circumstances, and no matter which agency does it...and so is putting people on "trial" based on torture-tainted evidence...bush has acted...and now you have to act...call your local radio station...write a letter to the editor...forward this blog to as many people as possible...

make opposition to this outrageous action go viral!
president bush tried to defeat our efforts to put america on record...but, with spirited protests all across america, we’re going to make it clear that our nation abhors what our president condones...


peace out <3
