Putting my money where my mouth is.*
I joined Amnesty International today, and I encourage you to do likewise.
My contribution will not keep torture from being enshrined into law, nor will it guarantee habeas corpus protections. The bit of cash I forked over won't keep someone from being waterboarded, cold-roomed or sexually abused in the name of national security.
But it's a hell of a lot better than doing nothing.
* One of my favorite colloquialisms. Ours is a deeply flawed nation (with the capacity for greatness), but we definitely have a way with language.
