HONOR AMERICAN VALUES IN YOUR COMMUNITY ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO END TORTURE
CLOSE THE GUANTANAMO DETENTION CENTER

WHY is it important to close Guantánamo?

Guantánamo has become a world-wide symbol for the Bush Administration’s arrogant disregard of basic human rights. In the past weeks, world leaders including Presidents Carter and Clinton have joined leading human rights groups in calling for the closing of Guantánamo and other illegal prison facilities around the globe. Countless others have joined the call for an immediate independent investigation and/or special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the numerous allegations of torture and abuse taking place on Guantánamo.

JOIN ONE OF MANY RALLIES TAKING PLACE ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

July 4th is just the beginning! Keep the movement going on Tuesday, July 5th!

Participate in a massive telephone and online campaign to continue the petition to members of Congress.

Torture is Immoral and Unpatriotic

Shut Down Guantánamo

More background information.

If you have questions, please e-mail susanhu.

Count me in, I’ll be sending an email shortly.

Dean Pajevic on June 30, 2005 at 6:21 pm

I’ll start making the list soon.

–> What’d help most would be if all of you could contact the other blogs at which you hang out, and ask them to participate.

Thanks.

Can’t wait to get home and print up a ton of those decals and paste them all over. Sure will go well next to all those yellow ribbon magnets and W stickers don’t you know?

Dean Pajevic on June 30, 2005 at 9:00 pm

I’ll help you with the Hummers.

  that’s a deal. Anyone know where to buy the sheets of sticker paper?
  - Dean Pajevic on July 1, 2005 at 9:49 am
    
    Staples or any stationery store … I think CCR tells you which size of Avery labels to buy so they print out just perfectly.
    
    (See you at midnight in the parking lot.)

  THANK YOU! It’s done. We need MORE blogs! Please tell your friends!

Man Eegee on June 30, 2005 at 11:18 pm

I sent you another email. I launched my blog here.

boilerman10 on June 30, 2005 at 11:35 pm

I will join up.

I will post diaries here and on my own blog…err I mean Online Magazine of News, Opinion and also information for the commercial and industrial plumber and steam fitter….my apologies to atrios.

Abu Ghraib sealed our defeat in Iraq, for it showed America to be perverse and twisted. Sy Hersh spoke at lenght about this.

Guantanamo is is little more than “more of the same.”

We don’t need torture. It’s un-American.

Dean Pajevic on June 30, 2005 at 11:44 pm

Thank you! Send me your blog URL, or post it here. Thanks!

    Off topic, but I wanted to tell you that, at last, I sent you the documents for CONIPRAT.

      I just checked my email and got them. Thank you so much for taking the time to translate. Funnily enough, I was just thinking about all this last night.
      
      I’ll look through them and see where we can be of help, and let everyone here know too.
      
      I will email you.
