Restore Habeas Corpus

MagicStarER1 — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 16:28:25 CDT

Here is the context of the Petition To Restore Habeas Corpus:

A bipartisan amendment was introduced July 9 by Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) that would fix the balance of power in our government by fully restoring habeas corpus. It is amended to the Defense Reauthorization Act for FY 2008.

Our nation's values were undermined last year as a result of the Military Commissions Act, which includes a provision stripping the courts of their power to review why detainees are being held by the United States. This is your opportunity to correct this mistake. Please vote for the amendment to restore habeas corpus.

Currently, detainees at Guantanamo - and elsewhere - are denied the right to contest the legality of their detention. The lack of independent judicial review of Guantanamo detentions is harming the reputation of our nation and undermining our system of checks and balances.

As Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said in ruling against the President's earlier efforts to deny the courts any role regarding detainees, "A state of war is not a blank check for the President." Congress should restore the constitutional system of checks and balances. Our courts are more than able to decide detention cases raising national security and individual liberties concerns.

I urge you to return us to our place as a role model of freedom and justice. Vote to restore habeas corpus.

Welcome to Pages For Change For Good!
Thanks for caring about what's happening in our world!

EQUINE RESCUE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

So what is the point of this place? Well, first and foremost, it is an extension of an Equine Rescue Information and Resources website that I built a couple of years ago. I am a horse lover and I can not tolerate the idea of horses being slaughtered/& or transported for the purpose of slaughter in the United States, to be cruelly butchered into meat that will be eaten in Belgium or France. We Americans DO NOT EAT HORSES! Horses are beautiful, intelligent, and loving creatures that only want to please us, and it is totally unacceptable for them to be tortured and slaughtered inhumanely just because someone got tired of them.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER:

1) Visit The Society For Animal Protection Legislation's website at: www.saplonline.org/horses.html to find out more about the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, HR 503 and S.1915.

2) Write your Members of Congress to urge them to support the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. http://www.saplonline.org/congress.htm Get a printable letter to send to
them at: http://www.hoofpac.com/petition/index.html

3) SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION ! VISIT: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/631181096
TO SIGN THE NEW 2007 PETITION TO SUPPORT THE BANNING OF HORSE SLAUGHTER IN THE UNITED STATES!

4) Visit: http://www.equinerescue.info/links.html to find links to equine rescue organizations in your area where you can adopt rescue horses.

Please visit my website at: http://www.MagicStarEquineRescue.bravehost.com to

learn more about equine rescue and for more equine rescue facts and resources.

HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
AND ECO-PROTECTION

I love all animals and will do whatever I can to advocate for their humane treatment and their God-given right to live out the lives that He has given them, in peace and freedom from abuse and neglect, until my dying breath. I believe that God appointed us to be his trusted caretakers of all life and of the earth's natural resources.

The World In Turmoil - It's Up To Each One Of Us!

How do you really feel about these pictures?

WAR, GENOCIDE, DESTRUCTION, PLANETARY DISTRESS -
STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT

A couple of months ago I started looking things up on YouTube, watching videos about all the things that are going on in this world. It was shocking to see all the suffering, genocide, war, torture, destruction, oppression, hatred, disregard for all life, planetary distress, and abusive governmental policies that are happening in almost every country on this earth. It is so much more shocking when you can actually see these things on film, and happening to real people. I have spent many a sleepless night, and cried many tears, over what people are doing to other people. So I resolved to do whatever I can, whenever and wherever I can, even if it is only to gravitate towards other people who feel the same way I do about these issues. I think people everywhere are doing the same; moving closer to each other - there is strength and comfort in numbers in times of great crisis or need. Which is what the situation is now. A person should stand for something. Either for good, or for bad. There is no in-between, no gray area. And now is the time for all good people to stand up for what is right.

BIG MONEY INTERESTS, GREED, POWER STRUGGLES, DISREGARD
FOR CIVIL & HUMAN RIGHTS, LACK OF COMPASSION

Some of the issues I am most concerned about are the genocides occurring in places like Darfur, Tibet, China, Iraq, and Lebanon. I find the policies of the current Administration very disturbing. I think it is horrible that the welfare of human beings and the ecosystem of our home, the earth, are taking a back seat to big money interests, greed, & power struggles. I am worried about the loss of our civil and human rights. I am disgusted with how human beings treat other human beings, and by the lack of respect, tolerance, or compassion in people anymore. I know most people in my country are better than that. And I think you know it, too.

MY BLOG ON CURRENT WORLD
ISSUES - STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

So I invite you to my blog - where I will be writing about issues and current events of paramount importance to us all. I hope you will participate, to at least inform yourselves, or to share your ideas, knowledge, and feelings. The purpose is for intelligent, objective, and well-informed people with compassion and rationality in their hearts, to come together and learn and barnstorm. NOT to denigrate, nor to attack others. If that is your intent, leave and don't come back. It is of no consequence here which political party you are affiliated with, nor what religion you are, nor what color your skin is, nor any other factor that may tend to separate one human from another. We have all had enough of being separated over the last 7 years. The REAL American Way is to allow others their beliefs and freedom of expression with a spirit of acceptance and tolerance. I consider myself a Democrat, but if the Republican Party should suddenly demonstrate views closer to my own I would be a Republican. The reason the world is in the mess it is in is because people are so intolerant of each others' differences.

WHO IS MAGICSTARER?
SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU!

I am a simple person, with simple needs and tastes. A real person. I love God and life. I love all the beautiful things that God has made for us, all of God's wondrous creation, and all of the highest principles and aspirations that He has given us. I believe that there is a right and wrong. I believe that God wants us to be happy and to love one another. I am an RN and I have taken care of people all of my life, since I was 3 years old. I was born a caretaker - there's no reason to stop now. I couldn't if I tried. I have studied philosophy and all religions, and searched all my life for the truth and for the meaning of everything that happens in this world. I believe that I will live to see the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in my lifetime, and I believe that his arrival in the sky with all the angels is IMMINENT! Let's talk about what's going on in the world and what our stance should be, and about everything that's good and positive in life, too.

Your Friend,
