I'm urging you to vote "NO" on the latest version of the National Defence
Authorisation Act (NDAA) because it does not address the harmful Guantanamo
provisions that led President Obama to veto the last NDAA.

Mr Obama vetoed the National Defence Authorisation Act because of what he
termed "onerous" restrictions on transferring prisoners out of Guantanamo.
But instead of revising the Guantanamo provisions, leaders of the House
and Senate are holding a vote on a "new" version of the NDAA that
reportedly contains the exact same Guantanamo provisions!  This NDAA would
impose the most comprehensive set of obstacles ever to closing Guantanamo
and ending indefinite detention without charge, proving the United States
a traitor to its founding ideas of individual liberties and speedy and
open justice, and thereby fanning the flames of anti-American sentiment,
extremism, and recruitment to militancy worldwide.

I strongly urge you to vote "no" on the NDAA because it does not address
the provisions that could effectively thwart closing Guantanamo and ending
indefinite detention.
