Dear _____________,

Please restore the right to habeas corpus, one of the most important checks on arbitrary executive power.

Over the last two years, Congress has passed two laws (The Detainee Treatment Act and the Military Commissions Act) that seek to strip non-citizens in US military custody of the right to challenge the legality of their detention in US courts. I urge you to pass legislation to reinstate access to courts by restoring the right to habeas corpus.

Allowing detainees to go before an impartial judge is the best way to ensure that the US is not detaining anyone unfairly. Please act today to restore US credibility around the world as a champion of justice and the rule of law.

Sincerely,
