Please Write Letters to Newspapers Against Outsourcing Torture!

Dear NJ Amnesty Activists,

It would be great if we could generate some letters-to-the-editor about the lobbying against extraordinary renditions. Here are a few recent articles from the Star-Ledger to which you can respond, along with the paper’s instructions for doing so. Please be sure to urge our Congressmen to vote for HR 952 and Senator Menendez to vote for S 654. You can also thank Lautenberg, Rothman, Holt, Payne, and Pallone for already cosponsoring these bills.

Thanks,
Larry Ladutke,
NJ Legislative Coordinator, AIUSA
