100 Days To Restore The Constitution
Par FIDH le jeudi 20 novembre 2008, 12:36 - Campagnes - Lien permanent
Over the last eight years, the Bush administration has systematically dismantled some of the most important rights and protections in the United States Constitution. In the first 100 days of office, the next president can, often with the stroke of a pen, restore, protect, and expand the fundamental rights on which our nation was founded. It is up to all of us to see that he does.
The Center for Constitutional Rights' 100 Days Campaign focuses on the harm done by previous administrations and the hopes we have for making the country a better place for all.
Join us in telling the next administration what you want to see in the first 100 days. Look for a series of white papers, videos, speaking tours and online activism that will bring these issues front and center in the public debate.
What do you want in the first 100 Days? 
CCR's 100 Days OverviewOver the last eight years, the Bush administration set
out to dismantle our most important constitutional protections and showed deep
disregard for international and domestic law. CCR is here to stand in its way.
In June 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a resounding affirmation of the
Constitution in Boumediene v. Bush. Even as we prepare to move
forward on this victory for our clients, we have launched a new media and
educational campaign titled Beyond Guantanamo: Restore the Constitution.
This is a sustained effort to neutralize the Bush legacy and restore the Constitution. As part of he project, we've created the 100 Days campaign, outlinling ways the new president can restore, protect and exapnd our fundamental rights in his first 100 days in office.
