To: President Donald Trump
Support Obama 7
The Obama 7 are being persecuted financially, legally, and politically by powerful members of the U.S. Government for "whistle-blowing" about wrongs committed by the NSA, FBI, and CIA.
Why is this important?
I watched the documentary "Silenced" by James Spione and was appalled that our government could (and does ) use its power to harass conscientious Americans just for telling the truth about governmental abuses. Some are currently in prison for truth-telling!
Petition signers should urge their representatives and President Obama specifically to release John Kiriakou from prison, and permit Edward Snowden to return to his homeland without being persecuted and prosecuted for whistle- blowing about abuses by our government. It is unconscionable that out government is using the same bullying tactics used early on against German citizens in Hitler's rise to power. If we want to retain our own civil rights, we must protect the civil rights of others in our country. They are being aggressively eroded ever since 9/11.
