Sign the petition

Via Steve Bates of The Yellow Doggerel Democrat, remind our politicians that we love Habeas Corpus and due process more than them:

The petition demands that they:
1. Restore habeas corpus and due process.
2. Pass the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007.
3. End torture and abuse in secret prisons.
4. Stop extraordinary rendition: secretly kidnapping people and sending them to countries that torture.
5. Close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay and give those held there access to justice.
6. Investigate wrongdoing and ensure those who broke the law are held accountable.
7. Restore American values and the rule of law.

What the hell is taking them so long? They should be breaking arms and legs dashing to get this voted on.
