Nowhere does the Constitution say we are being granted rights. It says only that the government cannot deprive us of them. If we don't put a stop to government abuses, we are going to wake up one day and find all our "God-given" rights are gone.

Tell President Obama to set up a nonpartisan inquiry to evaluate the full cost of abuses, look at how we got there, and come up with safeguards so we don't repeat the same mistakes. It's time for a full reckoning on the United States' use of torture.

The Bush administration constantly abused the "state secrets" doctrine to escape accountability for illegal behavior. This petition supports the State Secrets Protection Act of 2009 (H.R. 984) to allow victims of government wrongdoing to seek justice.
