In The Meantime-
Call (202) 685-2900
The military is
pulling out all the stops to chill efforts to increase transparency in our
government. Now, we’re asking you to join us to ensure we’re doing all we
can to secure Bradley’s freedom as well as protection for future
whistleblowers.
Major General
Jeffery S. Buchanan is the Convening Authority for Bradley’s court martial,
which means that he has the authority to decrease Bradley’s sentence, no matter
what the judge decides. As hundreds of activists join us in DC today to
demonstrate at Maj. Gen. Buchanan’s base, Ft. McNair, we’re asking you to join
our action demanding he do the right thing by calling, faxing, and e-mailing
his Public Affairs Office.
The convening
authority can reduce the sentence after the Judge makes her ruling.
Let’s Remind Maj.
General Buchanan:
- that Bradley was held for nearly a
year in abusive solitary confinement, which the UN torture chief called
“cruel, inhuman, and degrading”
- that President Obama has unlawfully
influenced the trial with his declaration of Bradley Manning’s guilt.
- that the media has been continually
blocked from transcripts and documents related to the trial and that it
has only been through the efforts of Bradley Manning’s supporters that any
transcripts exist.
- that under the UCMJ a soldier has
the right to a speedy trial and that it was unconscionable to wait 3 years
before starting the court martial.
- that absolutely no one was harmed by
the release of documents that exposed war crimes, unnecessary secrecy and
disturbing foreign policy.
- that Bradley Manning is a hero who
did the right thing when he revealed truth about wars that had been based
on lies.
Remind General
Buchanan that Bradley Manning’s rights have been trampled – Enough is enough!
Please help us reach all these
important contacts:
The Public Affairs
Office fax #: 202-685-0706
The Public
Affairs Office is required to report up the chain of command the number of
calls they receive on a particular issue, so please help us flood the office
with support for whistleblower Bradley Manning today!
