As a passionate supporter for civil liberties, I was excited to see that the American Civil Liberties Union has released a document today called Actions For Restoring America. It is a set of detailed recommendations on steps that the new president should take to 'clean house,' renew freedom, and restore the nation's reputation, actions that the executive branch could take on its own. And it rocks.

Go check it out for yourself.

Dear Daily Kos readers,

The subject of the death penalty is an emotive one. I would like to write a diary about it, about the politics of it all and the arguments against it, but there isn't time to do so today. For a man is about to be executed and this is an urgent request for your help. I'm asking you to join me in trying to save the life of a man who maintains his innocence, in a case where the majority of the state's witnesses have recanted or contradicted their evidence...Here's how you can help

This week we learned that if you've ever had professional contact with someone who had a radical past - such as a direct-action anti-Vietnam-war protester who used explosives to attack government buildings in the 1960s - then you can be called a 'terrorist' yourself and an angry mob can call for you to be beheaded, blown up or otherwise killed, whilst someone who is running for the position of US President or Vice President smiles and says little, or nothing at all
