This week, the U.S. Senate will have their first up-or-down vote on restoring habeas corpus, so detainees held as enemy combatants (many of whom are believed to be wrongfully imprisoned) could challenge their treatment and detention in U.S. courts. The Senate will be voting on S.A. 2022, an amendment to the defense authorization bill that would take this important first step towards undoing the damage caused by the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
The vote will be close, so we need to make a lot of noise.
>> Send an e-mail message to your senators urging them to support this amendment.
>> Also please take a few extra minutes to make a phone call to your senators to reinforce the message.
Thank you for taking action on this very important issue.
