Fellow Kossacks,
We need to get accountability for torture back on the national agenda.
President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Judge Bybee, My Haynes, Mr. Yoo, and several others need to be held legally accountable for their actions.
In order for this to happen, we, those of us who believe in legal accountability for torture, need to work together. We need the combined energy, ideas, contacts, and hardwork of each and every one of you.
Therefore, Netroots Nation has, at my request, given us time and space to have a roundtable/discussion for and with anti-torture activists, to discuss how to get legal accountability for torture back on the national agenda. This discussion will be on the Friday of NN11, likely beginning at 10am. More details will be announced as I have them.
EVERYONE is invited. YOU are welcome. YOU are encouraged to be there.
For this to be successful, I need YOUR input, your ideas, your comments, your questions, and your contacts. Please comment in this thread, Kosmail, or email your ideas and the rest ahead of the discussion. I will be printing up everything I recieve, so we have something in writing to look at, along with everything that comes up in the discussion. No idea is too small. Yours might be the one that sparks something huge. The name you mention might be the one that changes everything.
Looking forward to reading all the input and being involved in the discussion.
Please feel free to post this to groups you may be a part of and to other websites you may be a part of, the more input and hands on deck the better.
Standing for justice and accountability,
For Dan,
Heather
