Thanks all.


Sign Daniel Ellsberg's petition to free Bradley Manning!

Sign the petition to free Bradley Manning, sponsored by Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg who will be speaking tonight along with Patricia Ellsberg and Kevin Gosztola in Berkeley, CA.

Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistle-blower, has written a petition to free Bradley Manning
People around the world learned about whistle-blower Bradley Manning during his solitary confinement at the Quantico marine brig in Virginia, conditions which were condemned by the UN Rapporteur on Torture as “cruel, inhuman and degrading.” These pre-trial prison conditions violated the US military's Uniform Code of Military Justice. Yet, only worldwide outrage--including over 500,000 supporters signing a petition--ended this illegal treatment.
Two years later, Bradley is approaching his 1000th day in prison without trial. His judge has acknowledged the military's responsibility for perpetrating unlawful pretrial punishment, yet Bradley still faces 150 years plus life in prison for seeking to inspire "discussion, debates and reforms" concerning our governments' foreign policy. As Bradley said, "I want people to know the truth... because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public."
Please help us show President Obama and military prosecution authority Maj. Gen. Karl Horst that we will not stand idly by while a young American truth-teller is silenced. Ask them to acknowledge the overprosecution and Constitutional violations in this case, and to drop the charges against Bradley Manning before it is too late!
