Call President Obama: Urge Him to Reject Impunity for Torture, Indefinite Detention & Unfair Trials

Sample Script Hello, my name is _____________________(first and/or last name) and I live in ________________________(city and/or state). I am calling to urge President Obama to: Ensure that an independent commission of inquiry into torture and other human rights violations in the "war on terror" is set up; ensure that anyone who broke the law is held accountable; and ensure that victims of torture receive remedy and redress; I also call on President Obama to: Reject military commissions and reject indefinite detention.
