Appeal for Redress!!
http://www.appealforredress.org
On January 16, 2007, active military and Guard personnel carried an appeal to Capitol Hill to deliver to Congressmen Kucinich (Ohio)and McGovern (Mass.) on the steps of the Cannon Office Building. Signed by over 1000 active duty military and Guard personnel (including over 400 officers), the "Appeal for Redress" stated the following ...
"As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for the U.S. troops to come home."
Sgt. Liam Madden (USMC-Quantico) presented the actual formal appeal to Congressman Kucinich. Petty Officer Joanthan Hutto (USN-Norfolk), co-founder of Appeal for Redress and moderator of the Press Conference held the day before, could not be in attendance in DC as he was on duty. The group was joined by members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Veterans for Peace (VFP), Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), the Virginia Antiwar Network (VAWN) and others who gave their support. Over 100 additional signatures from active duty personnel have been added to the Appeal following its delivery to Congressman Kucinich and this is likely to grow in the days and months ahead.
An article from Military Times has a good decrpition of events that day. For more information on the Appeal for Redress, go to Appeal for Redress or Veterans for Peace.
