The Representative from Vermont has the Floor
the 'corrections' gimmick is all about money. THINK of the money they earned arresting, jailing, bailing, prosecuting and sentencing all of Daniel Brock's victims. Most of his victims are probably still on probation and unable to drive and support their families. MORE money. Where's all that money go? Well, I can answer that. It goes to buy MORE correction officers like Daniel Brock. I shouldn't say this but I think he looks a lil bit crazy and if he pulled me over I'd probably call for backup. When peoples' eyes don't blink it makes me nervous. LOL !!!
Think of the THREE TIMES AS MANY that the Tampa Police are arresting (two of em anyway) ... Then, think if it was someone you know or yourself. Please support Senator Leahy as he tries to correct the mistake made by Congress. I signed on to his petition which is making progress and he is asking us to notify others.
Could you take a moment to do so???
Here's the video he refers to in his letter
Dear Beautiful Person, (that's ME)
Watch a Video Clip from the Rally!
Thank you for taking the time to email your home-state Senators, urging support for my legislation to restore the right of habeas corpus to millions of legal residents of the United States. As a result of your help and thousands of other friends like you, our bill is gaining momentum in Congress.
But we still have more work to do.
Yesterday, thousands of Americans rallied on Capitol Hill to demand that the Bush Administration end its abuse of the Constitution and restore our nation's proud tradition of protecting civil liberties and respecting the rule of law.
I was proud to join these patriotic Americans at yesterday's rally. It's so crucial that we build the grassroots coast-to-coast support we need to restore the rule of law.
Click here to watch the video of my remarks at yesterday's rally to demand the restoration of habeas corpus.
As you know, of all the rights guaranteed by our Constitution, none is as important as habeas corpus, which gives any person who has been jailed the right to challenge his or her detention before a fair and impartial court. For centuries, habeas corpus has been a powerful tool for protecting freedom. Today, that right has been stripped away from millions of hard-working legal residents of the United States.
Last year, Congress committed an historic mistake by suspending the Great Writ of habeas corpus in the Military Commissions Act. Like the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the elimination of habeas rights was an action driven by fear and a stain on America's reputation in the world.
The Military Commissions Act eliminated habeas corpus permanently, for any non-citizen labeled an enemy combatant -- even someone “awaiting” determination of that status. The sweep of this habeas provision goes far beyond the few hundred detainees currently held at Guantanamo Bay, and includes an estimated 12 million lawful permanent residents in the United States today. These are people who work and pay taxes, people who abide by our laws and should be entitled to fair treatment. Under this law, any of these people can be detained, forever, without any ability to challenge their detention in court.
We simply cannot leave 12 million legal residents of the United States at risk of arbitrary detention. It violates the fundamental values of this nation.
That is why I am asking you to take one more step in this fight. We need to build even more support in Congress to restore habeas corpus and respect the rule of law.
Please take a moment to invite your friends and family to email their home-state Senators as well, urging their support for my bill to restore habeas corpus.
It is times like these that test our character as a nation.
It is easy to protect rights in times of peace and prosperity. But it shows America's real character to stay true to our values when enemies abroad seek to harm us.
Please ask your friends and family to urge their home-state Senators to support my bill to restore habeas corpus today.
Sincerely,
Patrick LeahyU.S. Senator
P.S. Thanks to your help, our legislation to restore habeas corpus is gaining support in Congress. But we need to build even more grassroots support, right now, to keep the bill moving ahead. Please take a moment to invite your friends and family to email their home-state Senators, urging their support for my bill to restore habeas corpus.

And, here's Green Day Holiday.....
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
"Holiday"
Say, hey!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
(Hey!)
(Say, hey!)
(3,4)
"The representative from California has the floor"
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
