<p>This week, dozens of veterans from around the country – including me – will descend on Capitol Hill, meeting with Congressmen and Senators to push Congress to follow President Obama’s lead and close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that has become a blight on America’s reputation and has endangered our troops and security. We need your help!</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://secure.ga3.org/03/closegitmo/nA7rKTH4a6JxN?" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO HELP FUND VETERANS’ TRIP TO DC</a></strong><br> <br>Every dollar helps, and we’re pinching every penny to make this trip as inexpensive as possible. But, your money will go a long way to helping pay for a veteran’s flight to DC, for his or her accommodations at a hotel, and a relatively small amount to buy meals.<br>
<br>Our veterans will be backed up by thousands of veterans, and you, who have all signed our petitions and letters calling for the facility to be closed. Every day the prison remains open is another day that al Qaeda has an effective recruiting tool, and another day we’re creating more enemies who will target our troops and America.<br>
<br>It’s far past time that we transfer detainees to one of our prisons that can handle them, and have many of them face trial and permanent, legal imprisonment (if they are not sentenced to death). We can both follow the rule of law and international human rights, while also being tough on terrorists. The two are not mutually exclusive.<br>

So, please, take a moment and donate whatever you can afford right now. Again, every little bit helps!<br>
<br>Thanks for your support.<br> <br>Sincerely,<br>Richard Smith<br>Afghanistan War Veteran<br>VoteVets.org<br> <br>And Jon, Peter, Brian, Mark, and the entire VoteVets.org team!</p>
