TELL CONGRESS: TERRORISTS ARE NOT U.S. CITIZENS
In reaction to the traitorous and anti-Constitutional Supreme Court decision in BOUMEDIENE VS BUSH [PDF Link], Representative John Shadegg (R-AZ) has introduced the BOUMEDIENE JURISDICTION CORRECTION ACT (H.R. 6274) which would give military courts exclusive jurisdiction over Habeas Corpus petitions of enemy combatants held at Guantanamo Bay.
Though Shadegg's bill does not address the greater imperative to impeach and convict the five SCOTUS Justices - Kennedy, Souter, Stevens, Ginsburg, and Breyer - who spit on the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. military, and the American People when they ruled that terrorists who have never set foot on the soil of this Great Nation deserve the same rights as American citizens enjoy by birthright, the Bill nevertheless applies a tourniquet above the gaping wound ripped into the Guarantor of American liberty - our Constitution - and stems the profuse bleeding of our liberties into the dark abyss of tyranny, gratis the Supreme Court.
Shamefully, only 16 Members of Congress have co-sponsored Shadegg's bill to date. WE CAN CHANGE THIS DISGRACEFUL SITUATION.
IF NOT ME, WHO?
Email, fax, and call your House Representative and tell him/her that, as your elected Representative, you want to see his/her name as a co-sponsor on Representative Shadegg's bill. WE HAVE THE POWER, AND WE MUST USE IT.
I have written my Representative (a Democrat) and am duplicating the text of the email below. You are encouraged to copy/paste the text (inserting your Representative's name in the salutation and your name in the signature line) or use my text as a loose template to compose your own letter.
Alternatively or in addition, The Center for Individual Freedom has prepared a fax to be sent to President Bush and Republican leaders of the House and Senate. Making use of this convenient way to fax the aforementioned does not require you to compose anything. The CFIF has already done that for you. There is a credit card fee to the CFIF.
EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
Here is the text of what I wrote to my Representative. Copy/paste as is or edit at will. THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL HIM/HER TO CO-SPONSOR SHADEGG'S BILL.

Dear Representative [YOUR REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME]:
The recent, appalling Supreme Court opinion in BOUMEDIENE VS BUSH in which the smallest possible majority of the SCOTUS said enemy combatants who have never set foot on American soil are entitled to the same Habeas Corpus rights to American civil Courts as those guaranteed to American citizens not only deliberately and unnecessarily endanger U.S. troops and hampers America's ability to fight the War on Terror, but also oversteps the powers given to the SCOTUS by the United States Constitution and brazenly violates Congressional legislation prohibiting the Court from meddling in national security matters.
Representative John Shadegg has introduced the BOUMEDIENE JURISDICTION CORRECTION ACT (H.R. 6274) which would give military courts exclusive jurisdiction over detained enemy combatants being held at Guantanamo Bay.
As my elected Representative, you are my voice to Congress. I strongly urge you to co-sponsor Representative Shadegg's bill and do all within your power to shepherd H.R. 6274 to Law.
Sincerely,
[YOUR SIGNATURE]
