President Obama’s nomination of former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense is an outrage and a threat to national security. We need you to contact your Senators and urge them to oppose Hagel by voting NO on Cloture and to encourage their colleagues to do likewise.

America needs a Secretary of Defense who values U.S. sovereignty and safety. Chuck Hagel does not. Hagel serves on the Board of the Atlantic Council, an internationalist organization that promotes peace through diplomacy instead of military strength. As the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi made tragically apparent, terrorists do not respond to diplomacy or disarmament. Peace and safety require a strong defense.

We need you to call your Senators TODAY and urge them to oppose Hagel and to compel their colleagues to do the same.
