NEW ACLU radio ad for our Senators!

ACLU Radio Ads: Restore the Constitution

Last October, Congress and President Bush passed the Military Commissions Act, eliminating habeas corpus -- the right to challenge unlawful imprisonment -- for some people. This new law undermines due process and America's laws against torture. It gives the President the power to decide who is and who is not an enemy of our country, and to imprison people indefinitely without charging them with any crime.

This week, we are calling for change. It's time for Congress to restore our Constitution and reassert the rights that make our country unique by fixing the un-American Military Commissions Act. A bill already under consideration -- the "Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007" -- does just that.

Listen to our Ads
The ACLU and its half-million members are doing all we can to stop torture, restore habeas corpus and due process and end illegal spying. To make sure these abuses never happen again, we have just launched a radio campaign urging people who care about the Constitution to call their members of Congress and urge them to support the Restoring the Constitution Act.

Call your Members of Congress

Or, call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121.

Tell your Members of Congress it's time to restore due process and defend the Constitution by co-sponsoring the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007.

The Bush administration is working hard to stop Congress from passing this vital legislation. But we're working harder.

SAFE & FREE: THE CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Restore habeas corpus.
Investigate and stop warrantless spying.
Protect Americans' privacy.
Investigate and stop torture, abuse and rendition.
Curb state secrets privilege and Sensitive Security Information.
