This is a plea to all you good Kossacks.
I'm sure by now you all have heard of
Ehren Watada. He is the courageous soldier that is refusing to fight in this illegal Iraq war. The military is trying to bring Article 32 charges against him. The military is recommending court martial on all charges.
Some might say why didn't he just register as a "conscientious objector". Well, Mr. Watada understands the difference between a legitimate war and a war of choice that was started on
knowingly false evidence.

Please go to
ThankYouLt.Org and sign the petition as well donate to his legal fund. If we are going to win the argument for impeachment, we must show the world that we are still a nation of laws. And the Iraq debate must be waged in the courts. We must attack the gathering executive powers from several fronts: free speech, privacy, economic, military, letting the families of fallen soldiers show their pain, and in calling out the media when it's wrong. We do most of these now, except for the military aspect. Mr. Watada has provided us a chance present the rational for pre-emptive war doctrine as faulty from it's initial birth.
So please donate $$$. As everyone knows, it takes alot of money to mount an adequate defense in general, but especially against the government. This is an easy way to pool our money together, rather than trying to file several small lawsuits, in which case the government would beat us senseless. They'd use your own taxes against you in funding their prosecution.
So again please support Lt. Watada!!!!
