Loss of our constitutional rights

NOTE:

This is an email from my father. He actually is a doctor {PhD}, whereas I just play one on the 'net.
For me, this should not happen, it should not be allowed, nor should it be tolerated.

Good morning,

Please take a moment to watch this video relating to the Military Commissions Act that was signed into law recently by George W. Bush.

It basically gives one man, Bush, the power to declare any US citizen who disagrees with him as an "unlawful enemy combatant", allowing him to single out individuals, like yourself, to be arrested and detained indefinitely without giving you your constitutional rights to Habeas Corpus. This means you can sit in jail without being able to contact your family or your attorney.

It means a loss of the constitutional rights of every American citizen based upon the whims of a single individual: George W Bush.

If you decide to send a contribution to the victims of Lebanon, you could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant"...

if you want to contribute to the International Red Cross to aid refugees, you could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant"...

or send food or medical supplies to the people of Iraq, you could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant"...

If you write a Letter to the Editor showing any form of sympathy for groups, individuals, or citizens of a particular foreign county not supported by this Administration, you could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant"...

You could also be tortured under the rules and regulations now in play by this Administration.

Please view the news clip

and decide for yourself.

Be a responsible citizen and follow the news (not on Fox, however) to stay informed.
