Dear Senator,

Due to Alberto Gonzales’ involvement with the ‘torture memo’ and in light of his evasive testimony in front of the Judiciary Committee, I urge you to vote against confirming him as the next Attorney General.

As one of your constituents, I want you to be aware of the perception that: 1) Gonzales equals torture; and 2) a vote for Gonzales’ confirmation equals a vote to uphold torture. Furthermore, a vote to uphold torture is morally inexcusable.

Where you stand on this vote will be remembered and will carry a great deal of weight as I make the decision whether or not to support you in your next bid for re-election.
