Ron Paul has introduced a piece of legislation that’s arguably the most important bill that’s come through in decades. In light of all the power grabbing by the current administration, and the Congress passing so many unconstitutional laws since 9/11/01, and Ron Paul’s run for the Republican nomination, the timing for this Bill couldn’t be more appropriate.

This legislation would:

• Repeal the “Military Commissions Act of 2007” and thereby restore the ancient right of habeas corpus and end legally sanctioned torture by U.S. government agents
• Restore the ”Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act” (FISA) and thereby outlaw warrantless spying on American citizens by the President of the United States
• Give Congress standing in court to challenge the President’s use of “signing statements” as a means to avoid executing the nation’s laws
• Make it illegal for government agents to kidnap people and send them abroad to be tortured by foreign governments
• Provide legal protection to journalists who expose wrong-doing by the Federal government
• Prohibit the use of secret evidence to label groups or individuals as terrorists for the purpose of criminal or civil sanctions

It’s imperative that if you value your freedoms, you contact your representatives immediately and demand that they support this bill. Phone calls to your representatives is preferred, but you can use DowsizeDC.org’s system to email them with just a few clicks.
