Over the past six years our Constitution has been under assault by the Bush Administration. From spying on its own citizens without court orders to sanctioning torture to ignoring congressional subpoenas to denying habeas corpus to detainees, this Administration has treated the Constitution as more of an advisory document than as one of the greatest and most important documents in history. As we head into the 2008 presidential election, the American people need to know that the next president will honor, protect, and defend the Constitution. Any individual who cannot pledge to do so does not deserve to lead this country. That's why I just visited the American Freedom Campaign and took action by sending an E-mail to the presidential candidates who have yet to sign the pledge as of October 1, urging them to sign the American Freedom Pledge. The full text of this pledge is as follows: "We are Americans, and in our America we do not torture, we do not imprison people without charge or legal remedy, we do not tap people's phones and emails without a court order, and above all we do not give any President unchecked power. "I pledge to fight to protect and defend the Constitution from assault by any President." The candidates need to hear from as many people as possible about this. Please take a moment and e-mail the candidates on your own.
