Blog: Join the Movement to Repeal the Military Commissions Act  



Last year, the Republican Congress, with the help of many Democrats, passed a law called the Military Commissions Act. The Military Commissions Act revoked habeas corpus, ended enforcement of the Geneva Conventions, established outrageous kangaroo courts that mock true justice, and give legal amesty to George W. Bush and other top officials for war crimes. This obscene law is still on the books and in effect. Some Democrats in Congress are trying to take action, but others need encouragement. Please join the Care2 group dedicated to repealing the Military Commissions Act. Stand against this dangerous law. Don't be one of the Americans who sat down when freedom was under seige. http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/militarycommissionsact

You are absolutely correct, I learned more detail from this today!!! I find the corruption and arrogance of this administration repulsive, however, when I mentioned impeaching Bush, I was given response from a true Progressive former legislator of the MO. House of Representatives, "there is only one reason not to impeach Bush:Cheney Donna J.

Excuse me sir but there hasn't been a Republican Congress in a few years now. I think you should get your facts straight. Maybe you missed out on the election results of 2006? It was in all of the papers?
