Urge a No Vote on Gonzales

It's clear that the vote on Alberto Gonzales will move to the Senate on Wednesday, with or without Judiciary Committee Democrats' approval. We must act now to say no to torture. On January 19th, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) sent out a press release stating their opposition to Gonzales's confirmation "because of our specific concerns regarding apparent primacy of executive authority; a potential conflict of interest in the transition from Counsel to the President to Attorney General in enforcing the special counsel law; setting aside due process protections; and, uncertainty about whether inherent authority exists at the state and local level to enforce federal immigration policy, MALDEF cannot support his confirmation."

Senate Dems now have no excuse not to oppose Gonzales's confirmation and affirm that 48% of the US, and a majority of America will stand on principle against the moral and strategic weakness known as torture.

Here’s some email addresses of some of the Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee:
