Barr keeps us safe

Many thanks to Congressman Andy Barr for his unending support to block President Barack Obama’s battle to close Gitmo in Cuba. These prisoners are among the worst enemies of our country. Barr is voting to keep America safe by stopping Obama from freeing the 61 prisoners, and his votes are always for keeping America safe.

We all would be safer if our troops took prisoners to interrogate them for intelligence rather than kill them with drones, which seems to be the Obama way.
