Sojourner's campaign against torture

Go to this website: http://go.sojo.net/campaign/wwjt

It is Sojourner's Magazine's campaign to get the House of Representatives to pass the McCain amendment outlawing torture for our troops. It passed by some 90-9 in the Senate, and yet the Administration and the House are dragging their feet on this thing. (Of course, one of the nine is our very own John Cornyn from the state of Texas.) I don't think I was ever likely to vote for this guy, but how hard is it to vote against torture?

While you are there, read some articles at Sojourners. I think every progressive Christian or Jew interested in politics and religion should be a subscriber to this magazine and the New Republic. They are pretty much indispensible.

I saw McCain on Jon Stewart last night, and if anyone knows about how wrong torture is it's him. Is Sojourner's Magazine related to Sojourner Truth? She's one of my idols. Peace.
