Tell President Obama That You Support His Efforts to End U.S. Sponsored Torture

President Obama recently issued an Executive Order that put a halt to U.S.-sponsored Torture. Some of those who support the use of torture are already organizing efforts to push back on him politically – to make it seem like the American people disagree with him on the issue.

We need to ensure that President Obama and the American people know that the religious community supports him in his fight to end U.S.-sponsored torture. Please email him and express your gratitude for his Executive Order.

NRCAT has created a sample email for your use (which you can find below). Please feel free to personalize it before sending it – personalized messages receive more attention.

We all know that there is much to do to end U.S.-sponsored torture. We know that we will do that work in 2009. At this moment, our thanks and gratitude are very important.

Dear President Obama:

As a person of faith, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for taking steps to fulfill your campaign promise to end U.S.-sponsored torture. Specifically, I thank you for your Executive Order requiring the CIA to comply by the guidelines in the Army Field Manual, closing secret prisons, ending rendition for torture, and providing the International Committee of the Red Cross with access to all U.S.-held detainees. Additionally, I am also grateful to you for appointing numerous anti-torture individuals to key positions within your Administration. Please continue to oppose torture. You have my support and gratitude. Sincerely,
We will add your signature from the information you provide.
