While you're at it... Reign in the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts' Excesses
To my Congressperson:
Please join Representative Ron Paul of Texas and co-sponsor the American Freedom Agenda Act.
The American Freedom Agenda Act would:
bar the use of evidence obtained through torture;
require that federal intelligence gathering is conducted in accordance with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA);
create a mechanism for challenging presidential signing statements;
repeal the Military Commissions Act, which, among other things, denies habeas corpus to certain detainees;
prohibit kidnapping, detentions, and torture abroad;
protect journalists who publish information received from the executive branch; and ensure that secret evidence is not used to designate individuals or organizations with a presence in the U.S. as foreign terrorists.
