The MCLU supports workplace giving through MaineShare

Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself.

Dear friends,

Last week a federal court said the Bush administration cannot indefinitely imprison a U.S. resident on suspicion alone. That makes this a great time to call on the government to fix the Military Commissions Act and restore habeas corpus for good. The MCLU is headed to Washington DC to do just that, and you're invited.

June 26th is the National Day of Action to Restore Law and Justice. A bus will leave from Portland and we hope YOU'LL be on it- sign up today at www.juneaction.org!

We've heard from our National office that thousands of people from across the nation are headed to DC to take action. It's a whirlwind trip packed with exciting people and events- don't miss this chance to lobby for civil liberties in DC:

Join thousands of people for a rally to end torture!
Learn how to effectively lobby your Legislators!
Take part in meetings on Capitol Hill where you'll have a chance to tell our leaders to restore Habeas Corpus and fix the Military Commissions Act!

You can sign up by going here: www.juneaction.org

When it asks if you need transportation, indicate you'll be coming from Portland, Maine.
After you sign up, we'll contact you with the final details. Or for more information, give me a call at 207-774-5444.

We'll leave from the Park and Ride Lot on Marginal Way in Portland around 9:00 pm on June 25th. You can park your car there for up to 72 hours.

We'll arrive in DC on June 26th in time for a rally, lobby training, and meetings with Maine's Congressional leaders and staff on Capitol Hill.

Then we'll head home and have you back in Maine around 6:00 am on June 27th.

Transportation and events are FREE! All are welcome but you must RSVP at www.juneaction.org to make sure we save you a spot.

See you on the bus!
