\nWashington, DC 20500<\/p>\n
Dear Mr. President:<\/p>\n
In light of the debate following the death of Osama bin Laden, we urge you to make an unequivocal statement that torture is illegal, immoral, and un-American. The use of torture undermines our national security and intelligence gathering efforts. The United States must lead by our core principles and condemn torture.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
