Standing by Our Record

Faithful America has been attacked for its response to the horrific abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

Please sign our petition below and let our political leaders know that standing against abuse is the just response, not a radical one.

Partisan interests have tried to distort our position, running an ad that calls us a "liberal advocacy group that ran ads on Arab TV apologizing for the actions of US troops."

What the attack ad does not mention is that the 2004 Faithful America ad was a specific response to the abuses committed at Abu Ghraib, or that America’s political and military leaders similarly deplored and condemned the brutal treatment of detainees at the Iraqi prison.

Here is the ad that's being attacked as "liberal":

A Salaam A'alaykum ["Peace be with you" in Arabic]. As Americans of faith, we express our deep sorrow at abuses committed in Iraqi prisons. We stand in solidarity with all those in Iraq and everywhere who demand justice and human dignity. We condemn the sinful and systemic abuses committed in our name, and pledge to work to right these wrongs.

Standing against human rights abuses isn't liberal or conservative, it is a moral obligation and we are proud to stand by our record.

We are disturbed by a recent attack on people of faith standing against human rights abuses. Partisan interests are running a TV ad mis-characterizing Faithful America as “a liberal advocacy group that ran ads on Arab TV apologizing for the actions of US troops.” What the attack ad does not mention is that the 2004 Faithful America ad was a specific response to the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib, or that America’s political and military leaders similarly deplored and condemned the abuses committed at the Iraqi prison: “I view those practices as abhorrent.” -- GEORGE W. BUSH, on Arab satellite television, May 2004 “ Totally despicable.” -- COLIN POWELL, U.S. Secretary of State, May 2004 “Totally unacceptable and un-American.” -- DONALD RUMSFELD, U.S. Secretary of Defense, May 2004 “It was sickening and outrageous.” --CONDOLEEZZA RICE, U.S. National Security Adviser, May 2004 Standing against human rights abuses isn't liberal or conservative, it is a moral obligation. We stand by Faithful America's response to the horrors of Abu Ghraib and call on the ad’s sponsors to cease airing this negative and misleading advertisement.
