Bradley Manning Support Network Newsletter - A New Year Call to Action

x
Ed Note:  Bradley has been promoted to Corporal by some members of VVAW (my organization of choice).  But, he needs more than moral support, as reflected in this e-mail that I received from VVAW.  If you are an activist/organizer looking for somewhere to direct your energy; here is a Peace & Justice issue worthy of your consideration, and possible involvement.  As we are all looking around  for things to rally around for the new year, this one stands out as a priority issue, regardless of what organization you might work with.  Is there a question in any one's mind that Bradley is not what we called back in the day, a political prisoner?  Well, then...help to Free Bradley!
