There's a resolution before the House of Representatives that makes some fairly indisputable points:

(1) regular journalistic activities, including the obtainment and publication of information are protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States;

(2) First Amendment freedom of the press promotes public transparency and is crucial for the American Republic;

(3) the Federal Government ought to drop all charges against and attempts to extradite Julian Assange; and

(4) the Federal Government allow Julian Assange to return home to his native Australia if he so desires.

If you agree, please click here to ask your Representative to cosponsor the resolution (H Res 934).

Seeking to extradite and prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for what amounts to journalism is doing terrible damage to freedom of the press.

It's time for the U.S. Justice Department to drop the charges and end this misguided effort.

And it's time for Congress to say so!
