They vote this morning on Specter’s amendment striking the habeas corpus waiver of the Military Commission Act is pending until tomorrow.
Please call your Senator’s office first thing today in the morning.
Now is the time to speak up for the very foundation of a country of laws.
Tell your senator to support the Specter amendment that’s on the floor now. Call the Senate switchboard toll-free at 1 866 808 0065 or click here for numbers.
UPDATE: Matt Stoller says the two key votes are Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.
