My email to Rep. Roskam today:
I am writing to find out why you voted against HR 2082 which would prohibit -along with other laws ALREADY in place, torture including waterboarding....http://www.chicagotribune.com/services/newspaper/printedition/friday/chi-waterboard_dec14,0,4368318.story
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll1160.xmlI can't even believe that we are at this very lowest point in our nation's history that this is even up for consideration to continue to give the CIA these unconstitutional powers, when in fact laws have already been passed preventing them. Thank God it passed. I believe that your vote against this bill does not defend the consitution you have sworn to uphold.http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am8
Maybe you could send a letter to the Editor of the Chicago Tribune to explain to your constituents in the 6th District WHY on earth you support the CIA torture tactics. Most in the Armed Forces do not:http://www.armedforcesjournal.com/2007/12/3230108

Do the right thing. Do the moral thing- this is a very clear line for me- to put it plainly- its evil. This is a BIG deal Congressman! With the current news from Washington DC, I feel our democracy is at stake here and I can not understand your point of view. What is it? How did you decide to vote against this...I really don't understand.
Sincerely,
