Ask President Obama to keep his promise and try terror suspects in federal court
Our full-page ad in Sunday's New York Times got their attention. But we don't need just their attention, we need their action.
Fear-mongering politicians are putting considerable pressure on President Obama to abandon the decision of Attorney General Holder to try those accused of the 9/11 attacks in federal court.
We need you to make sure the president understands that millions of Americans want him to stand up to cynical scare tactics that may stop him from restoring the rule of law.
Urge President Obama to reject political pressure and stand by the attorney general's decision to try the 9/11 suspects in federal court.
The trials of the defendants alleged to have had roles in the September 11 attacks are the most important terrorism trials in the history of our nation, and the world will be watching to see whether we stand up for due process, justice and the rule of law.
It would be a disaster to hold these trials in military commissions that have a record of failure and delay. Since September 11, 2001, more than 300 defendants have been convicted and sentenced in federal criminal courts for terrorism-related offenses -- while only three defendants have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions.
Take action right now. Urge President Obama to stand by the attorney general's decision to try the 9/11 suspects in federal court.
This is a major test of America's commitment to the Constitution and the rule of law. That's why we need every freedom-loving person to take action right now.
