HONOR AMERICAN VALUES IN YOUR COMMUNITY ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO END TORTURE CLOSE THE GUANTANAMO DETENTION CENTER

WHY is it important to close Guant�namo?

Guant�namo has become a world-wide symbol for the Bush Administration's arrogant disregard of basic human rights. In the past weeks, world leaders including Presidents Carter and Clinton have joined leading human rights groups in calling for the closing of Guant�namo and other illegal prison facilities around the globe. Countless others have joined the call for an immediate independent investigation and/or special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the numerous allegations of torture and abuse taking place on Guant�namo.

JOIN ONE OF MANY RALLIES TAKING PLACE ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

July 4th is just the beginning! Keep the movement going on Tuesday, July 5th!

Participate in a massive telephone and online campaign to continue the petition to members of Congress.

Torture is Immoral and Unpatriotic
Shut Down Guant�namo
