Stand up for the America you believe in



Recently, the President signed the "Military Commissions Act of 2006", disregarding America's deep human rights tradition. Now the administration can detain people indefinitely without charge or trial, and use evidence obtained by cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

We're in a struggle for the soul of our nation. Amnesty International has launched a new campaign to restore our traditional American values of justice, rule of law, and human dignity.

Please join us to fight for the America we believe in, the America that leads the world on human rights. Be part of this campaign. Restore "The America I Believe In." Start now by signing the pledge. After you sign the pledge, find out what's next » [ http://believe.amnestyusa.org/site/lookup.asp?c=igLQIUOCKtF&b=2176779 ]

Host your own DVD House Party [ http://www.amnestyusa.org/america/index.html ]! Each registrant will receive their own DVD of "Outlawed", a short documentary about torture and disappearances (known as “rendition”) in the “war on terror.”



Stand up for the America you believe in. Sign the pledge [via the source link last below]:

"The America I Believe In doesn't torture people or use cruel, inhumane treatment. . . doesn't hold people without charge, without fair trials, without hope, and without end. . .doesn't kidnap people off the street and ship them to nations known for their brutality. . .doesn't condone prisoner abuse and excuse high-ranking government officials from responsibility for that abuse. . .doesn't justify the use of secret prisons. . .and does not rob people of their basic dignity.

I'm joining with Amnesty International USA to restore The America I Believe In. The America I Believe In leads the world on human rights.

I'm committing to tell friends and family about the campaign. I'm also committing to contacting my members of Congress and my local media to tell them that the America I Believe In defends human rights and justice for all."
