Where Does Dennis Moore Stand on Keeping Terrorists Out of Kansas?
Under Obama’s Terrorist Importation Executive Order, Gitmo Detainees Could be Relocated to Ft. Leavenworth.
One of President Obama’s first executive orders was to close down the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba within a year, but with that order came no details about exactly what he would do with the terrorists who are held there. In the absence of a real plan to protect Americans, the terrorists could be relocated to penitentiaries around the United States, including Ft. Leavenworth in Kansas, which is right next door to Rep. Dennis Moore’s district.
“President Obama's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba, one of his first acts after taking office, is putting fellow Democrats on the political hot seat as word spreads that terrorism suspects and other detainees would be relocated to the U.S. or transferred to domestic prisons… States and municipalities around the country are saying ‘not in my backyard,’ and Republicans are raising the prospect of relocated detainees putting Americans in danger.”
(Janet Hook, “Democrats face hard time over Guantanamo,” LA Times, May 7, 2009)
“[Attorney General Eric] Holder and other administration officials say no decision has been made on where to move the Guantanamo detainees but opposition is mounting overseas — and in U.S. communities with military prisons from Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to San Diego.”
(Carol Rosenberg, “Charleston, S.C. wonders if it'll house Guantanamo detainees,” Miami Herald, May 4, 2009)
Dennis Moore now has an opportunity to protect the families in his district, but where does he stand?
“Dennis Moore has the explicit duty to stand up and protect his constituents in the wake Gitmo’s closing, which could allow dangerous terrorists to be imported into Kansas,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “Will Dennis Moore defend the safety of the families in his district and stand up against this dangerous proposal or will he leave the security of American lives in the balance?”
When HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was Governor of Kansas, she sent a letter to Defense Secretary Gates to highlight, in detail, many of the perceived threats of importing terrorists to Ft. Leavenworth:
“…I believe Fort Leavenworth lacks the capability to host any number of GTMO detainees. Both the unique requirements associated with housing GTMO detainees and some physical limitations at Fort Leavenworth make Leavenworth an undesirable location for the detainees. In addition, their presence would greatly disrupt the largely educational mission of the Army’s intellectual school house.”
(Letter from Kansas Governor – now HHS Secretary - Kathleen Sebelius to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, January 28, 2009)
The Keep Terrorists Out of America Act was introduced today in Congress, and if Rep. Dennis Moore supports it, he can stop these terrorists from being imported into his constituents’ backyard. But will he have the resolve to stand up to the president?
Or will he stay silent in hopes of avoiding the repercussions from endangering the families in his communities by allowing the terrorists to be relocated to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas?

Republican's Weekly Address with Lynn Jenkins
This week, Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins provided the Republican's nationwide weekly address.
From her office:
"When Lynn ran for Congress last year, she promised that if elected, she would not be content to just go along to get along, but would step up and provide new leadership. Well, that's just what you are getting from Congresswoman Jenkins. Saturday, on radio stations all across America, folks listened to Lynn Jenkins and her vision for a more fiscally responsible future."
