On September 27, 2006, the House of Representatives voted to pass HR 6166, legislation that will have the following impacts if it is signed into law:

1. It will revoke habeas corpus rights
2. It will create a secret committee appointed by Bush and Rumsfeld that has the power to declare any person - even a US citizen - to be an enemy, instantly depriving them of their legal rights. There will be no appeal allowed.
3. It will allow police to search your home without a search warrant
4. It will revoke protection of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions
5. It will give George W. Bush amnesty for any war crimes he has committed
6. It will allow for people to be put on trial in front of a kangaroo court military tribunal, even if they arenŐt in any military, and have not engaged in military attacks against the USA
7. It will allow the government to convict people of crimes on the basis of secret evidence that the accused never sees
8. It will make it legal for the government to use testimony extracted through torture
9. It will end the legal right to be protected from forced self-incrimination
10. It will allow the government to imprison people without telling them what crimes they are being charged with
11. It will remove the right to cross-examine witnesses
12. It will allow for the records of trials to be kept secret from the American public
13. It will enable trials to begin even before a thorough investigation of the alleged crime has taken place
14. It will take away the right to a speedy trial

It's bad enough that our own Congress betrayed us by voting to strip away many of our most basic freedoms. What makes it worse is that 34 Democrats crossed party lines to join the Republicans, and helped them to pass this bill. These 34 Democrats betrayed their supporters, and betrayed America's traditional values of liberty and democracy.

I'm putting up this list, because all America deserves to know who these traitor Democrats are. They do not deserve our support.

Robert Andrews of New Jersey
John Barrow of Georgia
Melissa Bean of Illinois
Sanford Bishop of Georgia
