Take Action to Defend the Constitution!
1. The ACLU has launched a massive new mobilization -- including its
first-ever national television advertising campaign -- to safeguard the
freedoms that Attorney General Ashcroft and the Bush Administration have
targeted since last year's terrorist attacks.
You can participate in this ground-breaking effort by:
-- Sending a FREE FAX to Attorney General Ashcroft outlining your objections
to the government's roll back of civil liberties in response to the
terrorist attacks. You can learn more and send the fax from the ACLU
campaign site at:
http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/SafeandFreeMain.cfm
-- Forwarding this message to as many people as possible. If each ACLU
Action network member forwards this message to only 5 friends, family
members and colleagues, we could guarantee enormous exposure for this
important new ACLU campaign and an overworked fax machine at the Justice
Department.
In addition to sending your message to Attorney General Ashcroft, when you
visit the Safe and Free campaign homepage, please take a moment to view the
new ACLU advertisement and take our new FREEDOM QUIZ. Over the life of this
campaign, we'll be alerting you about other important ways to get involved
in protecting the Constitution.
Take Action! Help Preserve the Constitution by sending your FREE FAX to
Attorney General Ashcroft from the ACLU Safe and Free campaign homepage at:

2. Although Congress has left Washington to campaign for the upcoming
mid-term elections, we are anticipating what could be a wild lame duck
session beginning in mid-November. Stay tuned for further action alerts as
we may need you to help us stop last-minute efforts to push anti-civil
liberties measures. Among the measures that could still come up are
legislation to implement the President's initiative for government-funded
religion and several anti-choice bills.
Finally, please remember to send us any letters you receive from your
members of Congress in response to ACLU actions. These can often help our
lobbying efforts by providing important intelligence about the positions
being taken by members of Congress. You can email letters to
field@dcaclu.org or snail mail to:
ACLU Field Department
1333 H Street NW, 10th Floor
Washington, DC 20005
