www.actforchange.com Sign the Declaration Against American Torture Hearings on the appointment of Alberto Gonzales to attorney general of the United States will begin this Thursday, January 6. Serious questions still remain regarding Gonzales’ apparent advocacy of torture as a legitimate practice by American soldiers, government agents and contractors. ActForChange has teamed up with True Majority, MoveOn, Faithful America, Sojourners and Win Without War to call on Alberto Gonzales, nominee for chief law enforcement officer of the United States, members of the U.S. Senate, and other responsible government officials, to sign a Declaration Against Torture, unequivocally renouncing all forms of torture and abuse as instruments of American policy. The Attorney General is charged with protecting the civil liberties of every American, and the American public must be assured that the person who holds the job is up to that task. act.actforchange.com/cgi-bin7/DM/y/hdCO0H8PJd0COb0t140Ee Click here to read the complete Declaration Against Torture and to take action!

best way for the American people to send a message to the Bush administration
and the world that 'we the people' of the United States do not condone
torture is to mobilize to reject the nomination of Alberto Gonzales." – Ron
