It’s your JOB to support the Constitution. Torture violates perhaps three provisions…
* The Fourth Amendment’s ban on unreasonable searches
* The Fifth Amendment’s ban on self-incrimination
* The Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishments.
Create a Special Prosecutor office to put the torturers on trial, AS WELL AS THEIR BOSSES. In fact, the bosses are the most important.
If you don’t, what comes next?
* Will it be okay for cops to engage in the same tactics on criminal suspects?
* Will you tell the rest of the world torture is just fine, putting Americans overseas at risk of being cruelly interrogated?
A crime fighting organization cannot also be a criminal gang. Therefore, a government that permits and encourages torture is no government at all (http://bit.ly/1wzHgal).
But please don’t stop there. Spread the word on social media, such as Facebook.
Are you seeing our Facebook posts in your Timeline? Chances are, you’re not, thanks to changes made by the social media giant. But the fix for that is simple…
Click on the Like (Liked) button, in the top of the page banner
A drop-down menu displays, and in it, click Get Notifications
It’s that easy.
Whether we like it or not, Facebook is a necessary part of Internet outreach these days. If you’re on Facebook, you can grow the Downsize DC Army by promoting these Action Items there.
Thanks for helping to expand the volume and reach of Downsize DC.
