I am glad to hear the Senate has turn down the bid to close Guantanamo bay, being as how there is nothing wrong with the facility.
Hopefully our Senators will hold their stance and not back down, i mean really do we want these guys shipped here?

I recently wrote my State Senator concerning the DHS labeling Veterans as possible targets for terrorists.. here is the reply:

Dear (HatedNation)

Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns regarding a recent report released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding so-called “right-wing extremists”

Like you, I am greatly disturbed by this report. The whole idea of labeling persons who are veterans, conservatives, gun owners or religious as somehow a threat to the peace and safety of America, more than the leftists and secular, shows just how out of touch some of these folks are.

I am especially concerned that DHS has chosen to alienate our service members in this way. As a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committe, and having just returned from spending time with our men and women serving in combat, I am disturbed that DHS would label individuals as a possible risk simply because they have answered their nations call to duty. Over the years, great American patriots have made exceptional personal sacrifices and, in many cases, have laid down their lives in defense of our nation. Generations of Americans continue to commit themselves to our nation’s defense. As we move forward, I will continue to to support legislation that honors the sacrifices made by these warfighters, always with your thoughts in mind.

Thanks again for writing, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future with your comments and concerns.

Very truly yours,
Jeff Sessions
United Sates Senator
