Stop your outrageous persecution of these 3 non-violent peace activists: Sister Megan Rice, Greg Boertje-Obed, and Michael Walli, who were simply speaking their conscience. It is the right of every American to speak out against criminality, injustice, and danger to humanity. These are clearly misdemeanor charges, and these people are clearly NOT dangerous terrorists. Adding more and more charges to their case, so that they are being held as prisoners in jail until their trial on Sept. 23, where they could get 35 year sentences, is appalling and unacceptable! Release them from jail now, and reduce the charges back to the initial misdemeanor charges which were originally made.
Why is this important?
In just ten months, the United States managed to transform an 82 year-old Catholic nun and two pacifists from non-violent anti-nuclear peace protestors accused of misdemeanor trespassing into federal felons convicted of violent crimes of terrorism. Now in jail awaiting sentencing for their acts at an Oak Ridge, TN nuclear weapons production facility, their story should chill every person concerned about dissent in the US.
