Holiday Cards for Bradley Manning’s Freedom!
This winter, millions of people will be sending cards to friends and loved ones filled with holiday cheer and warm wishes for the coming year. This is the perfect opportunity to stand up for Bradley Manning, imprisoned for almost a year for allegedly blowing the whistle on war crimes committed by US forces overseas. So add a few people to the list of holiday card recipients this winter. And if you’re planning a holiday party, get some colored paper and let your guests make cards, too! What better way to celebrate the season?
Send holiday cards to:
1) Your elected officials! Visit http://www.congress.org/ and enter your zip code in the “Get involved” box in the right hand corner. You’ll get the information for:
- President of the United States
- Your elected Senators and Representatives
You can also find the contact information for your Congressional representatives by visiting bradleymanning.org and entering your address information into the box in the right-hand column.
Send all your elected representatives cards to let them know that you and millions of others want Bradley Manning freed and the charges against him dropped
2) Bradley Manning! He’s been stuck in prison for months – let’s send him some holiday cheer!

Tips for sending cards to Bradley: Remember, Bradley will only get to see the outside of the envelope the first time you send him a letter. We recommend you consider sending a postcard so he gets to see the picture. You may have to send several letters before one gets through. To facilitate this, consider making three copies of your first letter- then send it 3 times, one time per week for 3 weeks. With luck, the third letter will get through! Above all, don’t get discouraged if the letters are returned to you. Bradley Manning needs your unwavering support.

I am in the UK…. how can I help Bradley Manning?
I’m from the netherlands, how can I help?
bradley is proving that don’t aask don’t telll don’t mean a thang to a person with real courage and conviction he’s a stonewaller for sure.
to stand for something and take whatever punitive action that will certainly occur will be an example of why a persons orientation has nuthin to do with courage and loyalty.hooah pfc you go!
I would also like to help in any way I can from Australia. Criminals are criminals no matter how much power or money they have acquired. We all need to stand together and say enough is enough!! This is not the world I want to live in and I and many others want the truth and to have a voice and a choice!!!!!
Can someone please explain this to me:
“Remember, Bradley will only get to see the outside of the envelope the first time you send him a letter.”
His mail is controlled. When someone sends him a piece of mail any they are not on his approved senders list, he has the opportunity to inspect the envelope and decide whether or not to add that sender to his allowed list.
My english is very poor, i want to help this boy. How can I do it? Greetings from Argentina and Free Bradley!!!
SOY DE ARGENTINA. COMO PUEDO AYUDAR?
Okay, so I have a holiday postcard. On the back I have written (in black ink) the address listed for him in Oakland, as well as my return address, and the message “Bradley, Thank you for being courageous. Happy Holidays. Sincerely [my name]” Does this sound okay? Is there anything else I need to put? I made 2 copies to send out over the next couple weeks.
Bradley Manning, AL FIN CONOZCO AL HEROE QUE LUCHA POR LA VERDAD EN ESTE MUNDO… Lo que pueda hacer por ti viejo, Te debo este favor…
I want to donate, but i have no credit card and no echeck.
Is there also a paypal account for Bradley Manning’s defense fund?
Thank you Bradley for your heart! My family supports you!Now is a time for us all to stand united! Peace and Love.
There’s no Paypal account unfortunately. You could send a money order, however, to the same address as for checks.
“It is a time that now is done a little bit. That, however, which dares to do something must be aware that he will probably come as a betrayer into the German history. If he omits, nevertheless, from the action, he would be a betrayer before his own conscience”
Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg
Stauffenberg was executet as betrayer in 1944. Today he is a hero.
The Time will show
Stay strong, Bradley!
maybe the truth is they real enemy…
stay strong Bradley, GBU
To Bradly…. Hero’s aren’t the one’s who fire weapons. A hero can be someone who stands up for what is right in away way shape or form. As far as i am concerned YOU are one of the most fearless of all HEROS and most worthy of praise and the FREEDOM that most of us take for granted.
CANADA stands behind you….. I wish more of your people did too.
It is absolutely horrible how the American government is treating this patriot but we have seen this before. Imprisoning patriots for exposing the horrors of the American Government has been present since our inception as a country. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were trying to stop the bastards in Washington by exposing the horrors of the nuclear bomb to the former Soviet Union. Aldrich Ames did his best to equalize the Soviets and the Americans with his patriotic actions as well. Bradly like Alger Hiss was only trying to stop the oppressive and corrupt and arrogant imperialist government. In fact I believe that Bradley Manning is a hero unequaled in bravery and should be allowed the same historic reverence as Benedict Arnold.
