ACLU Launches Constitution Voter Campaign
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) began the "I'm a Constitution Voter" campaign, to get Americans to consider civil liberty concerns when they go to vote in November. The ACLU is asking voters to sign a petition opposing warrantless surveillance and opposing torture. The petition also states;
- "I believe that government officials, no matter how high-ranking, should be held accountable for breaking the law and violating the Constitution.
- I reject the notion that we have to tolerate violations of our most fundamental rights
in the name of fighting terrorism.
- I am deeply committed to the Constitution and expect our country's leaders to share and act on that commitment—every day, without fail."
The ACLU also has a number of "activist tools" available, such as information on canvassing, how to write a letter to the editor, and how to ask questions at a candidate event.
