This week, the Senate is expected to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2014. As you know, President Obama has blamed NDAA provisions from past years for preventing his closure of Guantanamo Bay prison. Please call your Senators today or tomorrow (Tuesday) and tell them to vote for S. 1197, the version passed by the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) last summer. (Find your senators contact information here: senate.gov.)
Yesterday at a White House news conference, President Obama said:
"Guantánamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counterterrorism efforts. It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed."
