Dear Mr. President,

Please stand firm against the politics of fear and don’t go back to military commissions!

Federal courts have been MUCH more effective at trying terrorist suspects than the military commissions.

I would like you to know that I support closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, ending indefinite detention, and using our federal courts to try suspected terrorists.

Thousands of Americans are behind you – take a look at some of the faces for closing Gitmo:

Stand up to the fearmongers and close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
