Text that will be added to your email:
On January 21, 2009, the day after Inauguration Day, the next president of the United States will confront a host of critical issues created by our leaders under the guise of protecting America from terrorists: Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, citizen wiretapping, and U.S. torture policy -- to name only a few.

The Bush Administration has seized, consolidated and wielded executive power in ways unparalleled in modern American history. And the Congress has stood by, allowing these abuses to go on unchallenged.

The abuses of power include disregard for fundamental principles of American democracy -- separation of powers and our system of checks-and-balances; politicization of the justice system; grotesque acts of torture; disregard for international laws and institutions; and violations of fundamental civil rights and liberties at home and abroad.

President Bush will leave the White House in a few months, but these problems will remain. Now, and for the foreseeable future, we as a nation must fight to reclaim and preserve our fundamental values of liberty and justice, and ensure that the unprecedented power grabs of recent years don't set a dangerous precedent for the future. We must stop the erosion of our Constitution. We must recapture the flag.
