[Anyone] bush and the death penalty:

[Thos Myers]

Last Thursday, President Bush and several members of the Senate struck a
deal on human
rights. In the process, they dealt away America's commitment to
fundamental human rights
principles.

Make no mistake about it, this deal is a betrayal of the America we
believe in. No human
rights activist can remain on the sidelines in the days ahead. Call on
your Senator to oppose
these dangerous provisions. We are literally days away from action in
Congress on a proposal
to:

 *  Abandon the rule of law and give the President the freedom to
interpret the Geneva
    Conventions any way he sees fit.
 *  Provide immunity to those responsible for past human rights abuses.
 *  Exempt from prosecution those who authorize treatment traditionally
considered torture.
 *  Strip detainees of access to US courts.

The soul of our nation is in jeopardy. Everything we believe in is on the
line. That's why
we're mobilizing the entire Amnesty community. We're going into action
today and we won't
stop until every last Senator has made it clear whether he or she is
willing to stand up for
the America we believe in.

Please act today. Those behind this dangerous deal are doing everything
they can to quickly
build momentum. We have to break that momentum and we have to do it now.
Call Senator Domenici and get him to defeat the torture bills.
