ACLU: Send a message to Congress: ‘”I’m voting my values”

SIGN THE PLEDGE: This November, I’m Voting My Values

For most voters, no matter their party, Republican or Democrat, protecting the civil liberties of all Americans and upholding our Constitution are key issues in this November’s election.

As the un-American Military Commissions Act is signed into law, we must take a stand to ensure that this Act is not only challenged and remedied, but that legislation like it never passes again.

We must stand together to let those running for office know this:

We want our elected officials to oppose the President’s policies on the treatment of Guantánamo detainees, the use of torture and extraordinary rendition of detainees, as well as secret searches of the private records of Americans.

And we want to see Congress take a stronger role in overseeing the President’s actions in fighting terrorism. Without that, the fundamental checks and balances guaranteed by our Constitution are in serious jeopardy.

We must make civil liberties one of the top issues as people head to the polls this November. Please stand with us today and sign the pledge in solidarity with others across the nation to say, “This November, I’m Voting My Values.” Once you’ve signed the pledge, send an eCard to your friends and family to ask them to sign the pledge as well.
