Help Obama Close Guantanamo Bay
President Obama's commitment to turn around and investigate Bush's brutal and illegal detention and interrogation policies is under real threat.

Torture advocates like Dick Cheney are starting to win the popular battle again against principles, security, and the rule of law. Members of Obama's own party have even withdrawn support for funding the closure of Guantanamo Bay. This moment could be a major step backwards for human rights globally.



Obama insiders have told Avaaz that we should urgently and visibly show that the world supports Obama to fulfill his pre-election commitment to the rule of law. So let's counter the neo conservative campaign and put up a massive billboard right in the middle of Washington DC. For $25 each of us can buy one square foot of support for President Obama; for $1000, we can own a letter.

Donate for your piece of the billboard

3. It's a welcome change to see liberals helping the Democratic party
instead of tearing it down.

4. Great idea. A message like that'll make Republicans reach for the Dramamine.
I donated enough for a small bedroom-sized portion of the billboard. Thanks for the heads-up! :)
