                  Dear Kathryn,



                         Call your Senators now to stop the Republican
filibuster of the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act!

                  Yesterday, we wrote to you about our Habeas Corpus
Restoration Act which is currently being debated on the floor of the U.S.
Senate.  Thanks so much to the thousands of you who have already signed on
as citizen co-sponsors, helping us build momentum for this critical
legislation!

                  Unfortunately, a number of Republican Senators are once
again trying to block our efforts by threatening to filibuster our
amendment.

                  There's going to be a vote on the bill that could come as
soon as Wednesday -- that's tomorrow -- to try to beat back their
filibuster, and we'll need 60 votes to do it.

                  Help us end the Republican filibuster of our Habeas Corpus
Restoration Act. Click here to call your Senators now!

                  As of right now, we're just a handful of votes away from
the 60 votes we need to overcome the Republican filibuster.

                  That's where you come in.  We've developed an online tool
to help you call your Senators, urge them to support the Habeas Corpus
Restoration Act, and then report back on where they stand so we can track
our progress towards 60 votes.

                  This is people-powered democracy at its finest -- and we
need your help to make it work.

                  Help us end the Republican filibuster of our Habeas Corpus
Restoration Act. Click here to call your Senators now!

                  The Habeas Corpus Restoration Act gives us a chance to
reverse one of the Bush Administration's many assaults on our civil
liberties, help restore our place in the world, and better secure our
nation.

                  A vote to break the Republican filibuster could come as
soon as Wednesday morning -- so please help us restore habeas corpus rights
by calling your Senators now!

                  Your phone calls could make the difference between victory
and defeat.  We urgently need your help.

                  Sincerely,

                  Patrick Leahy                                      Chris
Dodd
