I tried this earlier and didn't get much in the way of replies. I feel it's so important to let Sgt Clousing know he has public support. Let's try again:
"On Thursday, Sgt. Ricky Clousing plead guilty to absent without leave and will serve three months in confinement. At his sentencing hearing, Sgt. Clousing continued to raise his concerns about the abuses of power that go without accountability and the everyday devastation of the occupation of Iraq. For the time being, Ricky is being held at Camp LeJuene in North Carolina. It's critical over the coming week that Ricky receive letters, postcards, and other words of encouragement from friends, family and other supporters. This will both keep his spirits up, and put the brig staff on notice that Ricky is not alone.
Support Sgt. Clousing in the brig! Write a letter today and tell him he's not alone! Please send only letters or postcards. If you do want to send Ricky reading material, it must come from a bookstore or publisher preferably new and shrink-wrapped. Food and other personal items won't make it to Ricky. Also, assume that all letters to Ricky will be screened so please use the appropriate discretion."
If anyone wants to send SGT Clousing mail please PM me and I will supply his mailing address. Freepers could possibly figure the address out, but I don't want to post it here and make it easy for them to harrass or stalk him.
Thank you, DU, for your support:thumbsup:
PS: I forgot to add the part about his legal fees. If anyone has any spare change:
Make A Contribution to Pay Legal Costs All contributions are tax-deductible Contributions go directly to Sgt. Clousing’s defense fund and legal fees
