Oppose the Bush Administration’s practice of indefinite detention
The Bush Administration’s classification of prisoners as “enemy combatants” and its holding them without charge violates international law and the U.S. Constitution. If the government has evidence that individuals are involved with terrorism, there are other, better, legal options than detaining them without charge.
Right now, the Supreme Court is considering whether indefinite detention without charge violates federal law, in part because Congress has not approved such detentions. The Court’s ruling on this practice is expected soon. We expect the Bush Administration to seek Congress’s endorsement if the case goes against them.
Now is the time to tell your Members of Congress that you oppose the Bush Administration’s practice of indefinite detention and you do not want Congress to endorse it. Our united voices have the power to make change.
