  5. OBJECTIVE:
  6. On Wednesday August 21 at 10am, Military judge Col. Denise Lind is expected to read the sentencing of Bradley Manning. The prosecution has asked for a minimum of 60 years. Bradley Manning is a hero who should not spend one more second in prison. Because of Bradley Manning, the whole world saw U.S. war crimes and crimes against humanity. Because of Bradley Manning, other people have been compelled to act and speak out against the crimes of their government, including Edward Snowden. Bradley Manning has nothing to apology for! It is outrageous those who committed the crimes walk free, while Bradley Manning will spend the majority of his life in prison. Now is the time for all of us to be like Bradley Manning and blow the whistle on war crimes.
  7. There are two objectives of this twitterstorm
  8.  
  9. 1) For many more people understand the significance of Bradley Manning and the crimes he revealed (something of which the mainstream media has completely covered up throughout his trial)
  10.  
  11. 2) To call people out to be in the streets in an immediate response to the sentencing. Protests are planned in cities around the country on Wednesday August 21. List of actions here: https://www.facebook.com/events/563031643743998/
