To: Brian Schweitzer, former Governor of Montana

Gov. Schweitzer, please meet with Chelsea Manning

Please meet with Manning to hear her side of the story, so you can judge whether Manning deserves clemency and recognition for being a hero.

Why is this important?

Chelsea Manning, fka Bradley Manning, is an individual who took a personal risk to expose the duplicity and, in cases, criminality of US foreign policy, especially in Iraq.

Manning meets the definition of a "prisoner of conscience". Manning was held in conditions that were determined to be *illegal* pre-trial punishment. Manning was denied her right to a speedy trial.
