P.S. My comment about the impact Bradley Manning's service has had includes the following, in case you want to use any of it for your own nomination:
"It has increased genuine respect for the United States as a place of honest and decent government. Unlike the government which tortures and murders at will, the government envisioned by the Founding Fathers was a place where ALL HUMAN BEINGS were free equal, and were convicted of ANY and ALL crimes in OPEN COURT." ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Romi Elnagar <bluesapphir...@yahoo.com> To: Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 12:06 PM Subject: [AmeriConscience] Nominate Bradley Manning for Citizens Medal The White House is soliciting nominations for its Citizens Medal. Several people are nominating BRADLEY MANNING. Please join us! http://www.whitehouse.gov/citizensmedal/submit-a-nomination According to Wikipedia, Bradley Manning was born in Crescent, Oklahoma, on December 17, 1987. I have indicated that his services were performed OUTSIDE his regular job (one of the criteria for nomination). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Manning In nominating him, my own explanation for why he deserves recognition is as follows: "Bradley Manning has shown exceptional courage and fortitude in exposing the crimes of the US government. Far from being tortured and sentenced to life imprisonment, he should be honored for upholding the ideals of the American republic, ideals which our Founding Fathers, who resisted British tyranny at the risk of their own lives, would have understood." Again, the address to nominate Bradley Manning is http://www.whitehouse.gov/citizensmedal/submit-a-nomination Thanks!
