THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY
1. Donate to the legal efforts and the campaign – Donate
today!
Since July 2010, we have funded Pvt. Manning’s selected legal team, lead
by attorney David Coombs. With your help, we’ve covered 100% of those
expenses—over $350,000. Since the verdict, we have already submitted
the Presidential Pardon packet on Pvt. Manning’s behalf. Next year,
we’ll need to hire a new attorney to argue the case before the Army
Court of Criminal Appeals, and later, the Court of Appeals for the Armed
Forces.
2. Sign the public petition to President Obama – Sign online or print
and share PDF petition
Please sign the petition on the reverse side of this letter, “President
Obama, Pardon Pvt. Manning,” and make copies to share with friends and
family! More info:
pardon.privatemanning.org
3. Write a letter to Convening Authority Maj. Gen. Buchanan
Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Convening Authorities are
granted the power to reduce or eliminate any sentence. In Pvt.
Manning’s case, this person is Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, Commanding
General of the Military District of Washington. Review
the guidelines here for
help with drafting your letter to be included in the formal clemency
application (deadline: November 1st).
4) Submit your “Pardon Pvt. Manning” photo online
Public support is crucial. Please submit your photo with a personal
message online at
pardon.privatemanning.org
5) Write Pvt. Manning
Pvt. Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning is looking forward to hearing
from you. For info about her new chosen name and gender preference,
please see the back page of our enclosed newsletter. Please address the
outside of the envelope to:
Pvt. Bradley E Manning / 89289 / 1300 N Warehouse Rd / Ft Leavenworth KS
