I just took action against an attack launched by CBS Outdoor against the IndictBushNow movement.
IndictBushNow had spent weeks communicating with CBS representatives for the launch in Washington, D.C., of wrap-around bus ads that read: "TORTURE is not just wrong ... it is ILLEGAL. Because NO ONE is above the law," followed by the organization's website address.
But now, CBS officials have suddenly changed their tune. In a communication that IndictBushNow has just received from CBS Outdoor (which has the contract for the placement of bus ads in the nation's capital), the advertising media giant rejected the bus ads because they constitutes "attack advertisement."
This is an outrage. Their message is factually accurate, asserting that torture is illegal and that no one is above the law, including high-government officials. These are recognized truths. They are fundamental to democracy and the rule of law.
We can't allow this assault on free speech and civil liberties to stand. I urge you to TAKE ACTION and SPREAD THE WORD!
