Dear [ Decision Maker ]

Dear Friend,

President Bush has nominated for Attorney General his former White House counsel, Alberto Gonzales. Mr. Gonzales is infamous for his memos that laid the groundwork for the widespread incidents of torture and abuse we've now seen at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

Please take a moment and go to http://www.endtorturenow.org and send a letter to your Senator asking that they vigorously question Mr. Gonzales during the confirmation process about his views on torture and indefinitely holding "enemy combatants."

Will it matter if you do? Will your Senators (or their staffers) give two shits about some email spam sent from a web form? Maybe not. On the other hand, maybe so - and the cost to you is nothing.
