TAKE ACTION: Campaign to Impeach Judge Jay Bybee

If you're anything like me, you read about things like the rampant torture and abuse that took place during the Bush administration and think to yourself "What can I do?"

Well, the time has come for you to do something concrete with your anger and rage.

Sign on to the Think Progress campaign to impeach Judge Jay Bybee, one of the authors of the now-infamous Bush torture memos. As a refresher, here's some of the conduct that Judge Bybee authorized:

-- Slam a detainee's head against a wall: "any pain experienced is not of the intensity associated with serious physical injury."

-- Slap a detainee's face: "The facial slap does not produce pain that is difficult to endure."

-- Place a detainee into stress positions: "They simply involve forcing the subject to remain in uncomfortable positions."

-- Waterboard a detainee: "The waterboard...inflicts no pain or actual harm whatsoever."

Think Progress will be sending a petition to the members of the House Judiciary Committee -- where impeachment articles are drawn -- imploring them to act now to remove Bybee from public office.

SIGN THE PETITION NOW

Update: Also go here to sign the Courage Campaign's petition to impeach Judge Bybee that is directed at the California Democratic Party.
