Please Write A Letter To The Editor About Habeas Corpus

[Syrinx]

Habeas Corpus Is The Biggie.

And while you're at it, send e-mail to the editor or associate editor of your local paper. Encourage them to be a leader in saving our country. Tell them they could win the Pulitzer Prize. And they could.

The big corporations haven't really reported on this at all, except for MSNBC with Keith.

The loss of Habeas Corpus is the single worst thing to ever happen in America. We must reverse it.

Somehow.

It will be much easier if people know about it. Explain what Habeas Corpus means to everyone you know. And make sure everyone knows what it means that we lost it.

This is vitally important.

1. I submit a steady stream of LTTEs to our local fishwrap.........

"The Democrat and Chronicle" of Rochester, NY. They print one every month or so but they can't print the all. Although, they should. ;)

My last one was a scathing attack on a "moran" who insisted the only reason Bush hasn't been impeached is because he's "done nothing wrong". :grr: Not only did I give the "moran" a civics lesson on the impeachment process but I got in my jabs about how dangerous a partisan rubber-stamp Congress is to our country. That's tough to do in 100 words or less but I accomplished my goal. I've received many telephone calls from people congratulating me for my opinions (I'm in the book and they print your name and town after each article) but I've yet to get a single call from anyone who wants to argue with me about the chosen topic. I'd murder the bums. Metaphorically speaking, of course, Agent Mike. :hi:

Writ of habeas corpus.

"You have the body" Prisoners often seek release by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully. Basically if you get tossed into prison you have a right to appear in court and ask why and be set free if there is real reason... or well you did have that right before Mr. Bush signed it away.

Under this bill, anyone even a U.S. citizens , depending on how the definition of enemy combatant interpreted, can be hauled in ,interrogated probably tortured and and imprisoned forever by the U.S. without ANY charges ever being brought against them.

For all you people who say "These are terrorists!""Who cares !" you say," terrorist shouldn't have rights!!" I submit that they are people who have been arrested. We do not know they are terrorists, they have not been tried and they can be American Citizens..read you or me.

Some say I am being silly, overacting. I want to believe that, but since Mr. Bush has been in office I have been called a traitor,I have had republicans directly and indirectly claim I am aiding and abetting the enemy because I don't agree with the war in Iraq and many of Mr. Bush's policies. Who is to say that somebody in power doesn't feel that way? That somebody in powers doesn't think I am a threat to my country? Could I be jailed? Could you? Did you ever write a letter to the editor, or protest? Give money to a cause?

If the Government was doing something clearly wrong, illegal do you want them held accountable? Do you think that will possible when the informant, reporter any one trying to bring this great wrong to light can be put in prison and never have a day in court

Democrat, Republican, Independent or anything in-between this should be a wake up call. This has to be stopped these things Mr. Bush seeks to take from us are our freedoms, freedoms paid for in American blood, sweat and tears.

I submit that anyone seeking to take these freedoms away is indeed a threat to the country
