Over the past six years, the Bush administration has been using the so-called "war on terror" to chip away at our Constitutional rights and the rule of law.  It's time to let our elected officials know that we've had enough.

On Tuesday, June 26th, join activists from throughout the country in Washington, DC for a day of events - including a rally and lobby day at the US Capitol in the Upper Senate Park - to call on Congress to restore habeas corpus, end torture, and protect fundamental freedoms.

Free buses are scheduled to provide transportation to this event from cities all around the eastern and midwestern U.S.

If you work on Tuesdays, now is the time to schedule a personal day off.  This is too important to miss, and we need to make a huge impact.

For more information, or to sign up for a bus, go to:  www.juneaction.org

This action is co-sponsored by Amnesty International USA in coordination with the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations.
