Representative Coble's statements supporting Japanese-American internment, a program that is now viewed as one of the largest blemishes in United States history, indicates that he believes the act itself can be justified given the right context. Statements that try to legitimize the idea of the wholesale imprisonment of American citizens, past or present, perpetuate the unfortunate belief that civil rights can justifiably be infringed upon without proof of wrongdoing. We must prevent these beliefs from becoming even more widespread. We ask that you please join us in publicly condemning these statements, in calling for his resignation from his subcommittee chairmanship, and in fighting to ensure that American civil rights and liberties are not forsaken by legislation aligned with the views of Rep. Coble.
