The letter I’ve written to my two senators:

Mr. xxxxxxx,

I was shocked and appalled today by your “no” vote to reinstate habeas corpus via Specter Amdt. No. 2022.   I believe that while terrorists are a threat to America, the threat of a government able to indefinitely detain it’s own citizens without charge is greater.   Habeas corpus is a basic human right dating back over 700 years, and America set out on the wrong path when we abandoned it.   If people we have detained are criminals, let’s please convict them in the manner that has served our great nation for over 200 years.   I urge you to please change your position.

Sincerely,
Derek Anderson
