Call your Senators and the Judiciary Committee
The Bush Administration wants to appoint treaty-breaker Alberto "Torture Memo" Gonzales to be our next Attorney General. They want the highest law enforcement officer in the nation to be the man who advised that we could ignore the terms of long-standing treaties and inconvenient laws and torture prisoners in complete defiance of Article VI of the Constitution, which defines treaties as higher laws than U.S. laws under the Constitution itself.
The Senate Democratic Leadership has determined that they consider Gonzales to be their friend and therefore there will be no opposition to this alarming nomination.
WE SAY NO.
Every day until the confirmation hearings are held, call or fax all of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee (see below), Minority Leader Reid and your state Senators and demand that they oppose this nomination to the utmost, including filibuster if necessary. If we keep the momentum against Gonzales going, it can become a tide that prevents the architect of Guantanamo Bay Camp X-ray and Abu Ghraib from being our next chief prosecutor in the United States.

Alberto the Torturer is at your door;
You’ll hear your family’s screams forever more;
Josef Mengele was too easy and meek;
Alberto is into torture at its peak;
With Alberto in charge, there’ll be lots of gore.
