Remember Habeas Corpus? It was around for centuries until the shrub decided it had to go. But now you can be a citizen co-sponsor of a bill to restore habeas corpus…
From the website:
Become A Citizen Co-Sponsor:
This week, we have a critical opportunity to restore habeas corpus.
The Habeas Corpus Restoration Act gives us a chance to reverse one of the Bush Administration’s many assaults on our civil liberties.
We all want to make America safe from terrorism, but becoming a nation that sanctions the unlawful detention of its own residents — detaining and jailing them without the chance to appear before a judge — does not make us safe. Instead, it violates a value that we have held dear for centuries — safeguarding our individual freedom before arbitrary state action.
