Feb. 11: Torture Shames Us All - Stop Torture |

Friday, 08 February 2008 |
Upcoming legislation that has passed the House and is now in the Senate will prohibit US intellegence agencies from engaging in torture. Unfortunately, our Senators are not on board.
Senator Lindsey Graham has publically come out against this legislation (Section 327 of HR 2082). Jim DeMint is still undecided. The vote could happen as early as February 12.
Let our Senators know that the American people don't want to torture other human beings in the name of the nebulous "War on Terror". Call them both through the switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
If you are interested in writing a letter to the editor or in other strategies for opposing torture, contact Michael Berg at 803-760-9208.
See inside for more information on the legislation and a copy of the recent resolution of the South Carolina Christian Action Council condemning torture.
