Republican Senator Lindsey Graham Trying to Make Deal with Obama on Closing GITMO in Return for Military Trials for Terrorists

with President Obama and Vice-President Biden
We need your urgent attention to new developments in Washington DC where Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is trying to get Republicans to go along with President Barack Obama and close the terrorist detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We have to stop Republicans from joining in with this folly.
It is a shocking about-face for Senator Lindsey Graham, a huge proponent of the surge and usually a dependable supporter of our troops, said he was willing to work with President Obama to close GITMO if Obama is willing to put 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed back in military court where he belongs. When we have Obama on the ropes with this issue, why would Graham give up so much?
“Graham said yesterday that if the president agrees to try alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four accused henchmen in military tribunals, he will press fellow Republicans to vote to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.
In an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,’’ Graham said reversing Attorney General Eric Holder’s plan to try the suspected terrorists in a civilian court in New York City would be seen as an act of leadership by the public.”

WHAT IS HE THINKING?
We must tell Senator Graham not to make a deal selling our security to Obama. It’s not worth it! Keeping GITMO open and trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in military court are equally worthy of fighting for. We should not have to trade one for the other!
MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO MOVE AMERICA FORWARD
SO WE CAN FIGHT THIS FAULTY DEAL
Clearly, these terrorists belong in a military court, not a civilian court in New York. The people of New York City and most elected officials now oppose the trial there. Even liberals in New York City are opposed to this hair brained scheme.
The only other US Courts that could try the case, Pennsylvania and Virginia, offer nothing better than New York City. Obama really has no option but to send these terrorists back to military commissions. Just as he has been backed into the corner, Lindsey Graham foolishly comes to save the day for him.
Graham is OK making a deal to close GITMO,
as long as they don’t move it to his home state!
The American people have spoken loud and clear. They do not want terrorists brought into the United States, especially when the Obama Administration wants to give them the same civil rights at trial enjoyed by American citizens. It is ridiculous, foolish and will give terrorists a platform to spew out their hate to the world. Why would Graham help Obama when the people clearly want military tribunals and continue to support GITMO staying in Cuba and NOT bringing the terrorists to our soil?
HELP US TELL LINDSEY GRAHAM NOT TO MAKE A DEAL WITH OBAMA
AMERICAN SECURITY MUST COME FIRST!
