Lights For Human Dignity

Leave Your Lights On
Election Eve!!

Six months after reports exposed the atrocities of Abu Ghraib prison, we

<http://www.interfaithalliance.org?UID=20242B76A0E82BC39&MX=64&H=1>

States, and around the world.

Please remember to exercise your most important right of freedom and  
liberty
by voting on November 2nd!
