Always active on the behalf of her constituents, she fought resolutely for one of them who was being held at Guantánamo Bay without official charges or access to a trial. In her efforts, Sarah organized a neighbourhood vigil, and visited the United States capitol to lobby on his behalf. Always willing to take a stand, Teather helped draft a letter, speaking out against the then party leader Charles Kennedy, expressing an unwillingness to work under Kennedy due to a generally perceived inability of Kennedy to perform on behalf of the party; Kennedy resigned later that same day.
