S. 185

To:  U.S. Senators

The elimination of basic legal rights undermines, not strengthens, our ability to defeat terrorists. It is from strength that America should defend our values and our way of life. It is from the strength of our freedoms, our Constitution, and the rule of law that we can prevail. We can ensure our security without giving up our libety. We must restore the checks and balances that are fundamental to preserving the values that define us as a great Nation.


It is urgent that we restore our legal traditions and ensure there is a fair and independent check on the ability of any president to lock someone up illegally. I urge you to sign this petition to ensure the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act is available to those who need it most. Denying Habeas Corpus Under the Mlitary Cmmissions At of 2006, the Uited States can detain individuals indefinitely. That means someone wrongly accused could spend the rest of their lives in prison.








Numerous accounts of torture and other human rights abuses have been claimed at Guantanamo Bay.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
