Redefining rape: Bush deal would allow for sexually abusive tactics. Tell Congress to vote against it.UPDATE: the House voted and passed President Bush's detainee legislation, which would redefine rape and sexual abuse to exclude acts previously considered abusive. But there still time to call the Senate. No human rights activist can remain on the sidelines in the days ahead. Call on your Senator to oppose these dangerous provisions. Please call your Senator today and tell them you're outraged. Dial 1-800-AMNESTY and our operators will connect you or call the Congressional switch board directly at 202-224-3121 (or lookup your Senator's info). Let the person on the phone know that you are a constituent, and tell them that this "deal" must be fixed before it's sent to the President. Tell them that the Senate should not rush to pass a bill that sets this country back on the legal standards for rape, sexual abuse and other forms of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE BUSH DEAL. When you're finished, be sure to tell us how it went in the form below. |
