I got this from Amnesty International:
Dear Tracy,
Today is the 100th day of a mass hunger strike at Guantanamo prison. At least 100 detainees have taken desperate action, set against the backdrop of 11 years of indefinite detention and other abuses.
Help erase this stain on the United States’ human rights record.
Join Amnesty International TODAY, May 17, for an International Day of Action against Guantanamo.
Grab your phone and help us flood the White House with calls demanding action. It’s fast, easy and today especially your calls will be impossible to ignore because Amnesty activists will be on-the-ground, in front of the White House delivering the exact same message.
Place an urgent call to the White House now at (202) 456-1111 and deliver this message against Guantanamo:

"I support closing Guantanamo. President Obama can and should resume transfers of cleared detainees, today. Indefinite detention is a human rights violation. All detainees should either be fairly tried in federal court, or released." Or see other sample messages.Don’t forget to tell us how your call went! It helps to fuel our response on-the-ground.
100 days of hunger strike. It’s nearly impossible to believe.
Just days ago President Obama repeated his vow to close the prison, stating he didn’t want the detainees to die. Nine men have already died waiting for justice in Guantanamo. Lives are on the line. Inaction is unacceptable.
Urge President Obama to make good on his promise. Make your call today.
Sincerely,
Zeke Johnson
