10. Thanks for this heads up - but aren't we beyond letter campaigns? |
|
The time for more direct action on this stuff is upon us.
Does anyone have particular ideas they want to share?

16. Done. My America does not believe in torture. |

My America respects the Geneva Convention.
Thanks for posting this.
I hope my Senators, Durbin and Obama, and my Representative, Janice Schakowsky, hears us.

I remember being proud of the US when handling political asylum cases and learning about these things going on in other countries.

This ***ing administration thinks that it doesn't have to answer to anyone for anything. In short, they believe that they are God. This is the most evil bunch of thugs ever to rule our country.

32. I just gave them some more coins....We need all the help we can get...n/t |
|
My Congressman doesn't support torture or the War in Iraq but my two Repug Senators don't care what I have to say. So, I give Amnesty what I can afford hoping that can help.
