Petition to Prosecute [View all]

If not posted already, there is a WhiteHouse.gov petition to prosecute for warcrimes.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/prosecute-full-extent-law-all-parties-responsible-use-torture-outlined-cia-report/17ZgKTtB

they need 100,000 signatures by Jan 8th (isn't this the site where they get enough sigs, the Administration/President HAS to respond Publicly? or did that get changed and I wasn't looking?)

Just saying, it's there, and The President said "MAKE me do it."

FINE.

(edited for content--I read the numbers backward ((its been a long day)), and I have corrected.)

PLEASE go sign this, and MAKE them respond.
