BISHOP CONTINUES FIGHT AGAINST BRINGING GITMO TO AMERICAN SOIL
This week, Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop continued his fight to prevent prisoners from Guantanamo Bay from being brought to American soil by asking that his colleagues in the Michigan Legislature and Governor Granholm join him in his opposition. Bishop also sent a letter to President Barack Obama, once again reiterating his strong opposition.
"We cannot tip toe around the issue of bringing GITMO detainees to American soil," Bishop said. "We cannot allow known terrorists to make a mockery of our legal system and our Constitution because someone made a reckless campaign promise.
Senator Bishop has been active with the Michigan Coalition to Stop Gitmo North since Michigan was announced as an option for placement of the GITMO detainees. Hundreds have called or e-mailed Senator Bishop to express their concerns over any plan that houses detainees on American soil, especially in Michigan.
Regarding President Obama's rushed plan to close GITMO, Bishop continued, "you do not close Guantanamo until you have a legitimate plan to house some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet. You may not use our communities and expose our families and our American way of life to potential harm in order to fulfill a campaign promise. "
