9/11 Families

About the ACLU Safe and Free Campaign: There has never been a more urgent need to preserve fundamental privacy protections and our system of checks and balances than the need we face today, as illegal government spying, provisions of the Patriot Act and government-sponsored torture programs transcend the bounds of law and our most treasured values in the name of national security.

Habeas corpus isn't a fancy legal term. It's the freedom from being thrown in prison illegally, with no help and no end in sight. No president should ever be given the power to call someone an enemy, wave his hand, and lock them away indefinitely. The Founders made the president subject to the rule of law. They rejected dungeons and chose due process.

We all know the difference between fairness and persecution. If we do not act immediately to fix the Military Commissions Act and restore our constitutional rights, basic protections like habeas corpus could be lost forever, and our country would become unrecognizable.

This weekend's 9/11 truth symposium in Keene, New Hampshire is upon us. Whether or not you have already faxed CSpan, please do it one more time (scroll down for details, or here: Week of Truth 2. Print and fax this press release and ask them to cover it. Congratulations to Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth's Justin Martell and Michael Jackman for pulling together what will be a great event! We received this update from the organizers: Friends, With the symposium only a few days away, we are working very hard for a large turnout and press coverage. I implore all of you to please participate in the week of truth and call C-SPAN to ask for media coverage of this event. Also, there have been two changes to the line up. Unfortunately, Daniel Sunjata will no longer be hosting the event due to conflicts with his schedule. The event will now be hosted by myself and Michael Jackman. Jason Bermas, because he has been working very hard on his new film, will not be able to join us. Instead, Korey Rowe will appear in his place to screen 15 minutes from their upcoming release, "Fabled Enemies." We're looking forward to seeing you all at the event! With that said, here is the latest press release... -Justin Martell
