which opposes civilian criminal trials for
enemy combatants

Dear Lee,
Last week the Obama administration's attempt to try Ahmed Ghailani in a civilian criminal court proved a failure.
Charged with over 280 counts, he was convicted on only one—thanks in large part to the judge's exclusion of a key prosecution witness.
The Obama administration appears determined to treat enemy combatants as criminals who deserve more due process rights than a captured enemy soldier would receive under the Geneva Convention.
If you agree with us that trying enemy combatants in civilian courts is foolish and dangerous, add your name to our "Citizen Appeal to the 112th Congress."
If you saw our email last Friday, the delivery of our 120,000 name Ground Zero Mosque petition to Mayor Michael Bloomberg created quite a stir. 9/11 families at the press conference thanked us profusely for our efforts to successfully arouse public opinion.
We want to deliver just such a strong grassroots message to Congress regarding national security, so they don't overlook our concerns as they tackle the deficit, taxes, and high unemployment.
It takes so little time to add your name to our "Citizen Appeal." But it will mean so much. Because when we deliver the petition, Congress will hear us. The more signers of the petition, the better!
Among the ten points in our National Security appeal, we are calling on Congress to…
- Secure our border and protect us from the increasing flow of terrorists into America.
- Oppose any accommodation to shariah law.
- Address the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood and its front organizations in America.
- Pressure the Obama administration to accurately define our enemy as "jihadists."
- Oppose civilian criminal trials for enemy combatants.
- Amend our humanitarian refugee acts to require that all refugees who enter the United States swear under oath they will not support any theological totalitarian political system, under penalty of deportation.

And please forward this email to everyone you know. Let your voice be heard!
