If you're already making calls, two calls for Brad Manning / due process:
Dear Supporters,
As you know, Bradley was transferred to Leavenworth in April, and his lawyer confirms that he is now treated like other prisoners. This dramatic improvement in his conditions wouldn't have happened without people like you taking action.

Now we need a public accounting for Bradley's allegedly torturous and illegal confinement conditions for ten months at Quantico. The United Nations is investigating the matter, but US officials are still denying their reasonable request to meet with Bradley.

Will you take a few minutes to make two important phone calls for Bradley today?

We want to put pressure on the Obama Administration and the Secretary of the Army to comply with the United Nations' demand. Juan Mendez, the UN's top official on torture, has requested unmonitored meetings with Bradley. Mr. Mendez wants to insure that international protocol for prisoner treatment and justice are followed. (Read the UN’s recent statement here.)

Call President Obama at the White House switchboard: 202-456-1414

Call Secretary of the Army Public Affairs Officer Lt. Anne Edgecomb: 703-697-3491

(Talking points, background at link.)

3. Call in going well, Army contact mailbox full:
@SaveBradley Pfc. Bradley Manning
Roger! @zachokeeffe "The White House line is busy and Anne Edgecomb's mailbox is full. I'm assuming this means the call-in is going well?”
