Elect to End Torture '08

RHR-NA and K'vod Habriot are participating in and expanding on the Human Rights First "Elect to End Torture '08" campaign. Candidates for federal office must be held accountable on their views of torture. We ask you to contact your local candidates, as well as the presidential candidates, and ask them key questions about their views. Send us their responses and we will post them. You can play a critical role in the anti-torture movement since candidates often court the Jewish vote. This is a critical moment to help effect United States policy—let’s seize the moment!
