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.

Please sign-on below as a citizen co-sponsor to the bipartisan Leahy-Specter-Dodd Habeas Corpus Restoration Act.

1. It's a shame we even have to point it out

Habeas Corpus is a fundamental right.

It should be intuitively obvious to even the most brain damaged moran.

2. I can't believe we even have to do this

It should never have been taken away I feel like we are back in the days of Count of MonteCristo days

3. This should have been #1 after the '06 win, but still glad to support it!
