Support the DC Metro ads for Bradley! Deadline: 4/20

Updated April 5, 2012. Bradley Manning Support Network

Help us put up twenty-one “Bradley Manning: Whistle-blower” ads throughout the DC Metro subway system to coincide with Bradley’s next hearing at Fort Meade, Maryland, beginning April 24. Each ad is 46″H x 60″W. To make this happen, we need $14,800 in pledges by April 20 via our EpicStep.com campaign.

Please support this important public education effort today!

You may also support this effort without signing up with EpicStep by donating here.

Here is the (expected) final design:

Earlier this year, the Bradley Manning Support Network unveiled a billboard calling for the release of Bradley Manning in Washington D.C. so as to display broad public support and to catch the eye of military decision-makers passing by.

Now that Bradley’s trial is officially moving forward with pre-trial hearings, we launched this new ad campaign in the DC Metro (subway) to continue building support for the Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Fort Meade, Maryland, is only 30 miles northeast of DC. Many government employees use the DC Metro every day — these ads will grab their attention, letting them know that the public supports Bradley.

  1. Obama promised Government “Transparency” – Bradley Manning was simply following orders as set by the Commander and Chief, but not honorably actually turned into policy?

  2. Good luck to Bradley. It’s not much comfort to know that you are right when suffering is inflicted upon you, but you are doing the right thing. And all it takes for bad things to happen is for good people to do nothing.

  3. I teach my kids to stand up and admit their wrongdoing this person brought light to a situation that our country needs to make amends for and he is being persecuted? How can we teach our children right from wrong with all this corrupt ness surrounding us.

  4. What don’t “they” get about LIES??? It is the 21st century and we should have a one-lie policy now! May the truth continue to show itself.

  5. I so agree with your definition of “Whistle Blower”! Yes, there are military secret directly related to strategy, that should remain secret. But with all the BS and lies told American citizens, I support those with the courage to allow the truth to be known!

  6. I am against what they are doing to this brave young man. He didnt allow the military to brainwash him into believing that the crimes many commit are a fact of war, in this case occupation. What the hell is wrong with us? Have we become animals and punish those that try to snap us out of the blood thirsty frenzy we have created? Shame!

  7. What Bradley Manning did as a Whistle blower is in the Like of Daniel Ellsburg. His Court Martial should be Commuted and be given Probation for 5 years.

  8. FREEDOM FOR THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE WAR POLICIES AND EVEN IF THOSE ARE AGAINST HUMANS RIGHTS.

  9. Bradley Manning is symbol of the human consciousness!
    His action is strong message that it is not normal, not natural to be bought and corrupted…
    With more people like him our planet Earth would be far better place to live.

  10. That he is being prosecuted for these “leaks” only indicates how corrupt and frightened our National leadership is. What Bradley has done is heroic and should be rewarded . . . not condemned. “Don’t shoot the messenger!”

  11. Let us recognize the courage and integrity of a person willing to put his life on the line so that citizens have access to information that keeps us in the loop. Secrecy in government is frightening, especially as our democracy is set up to represent the people.

  12. History will be on the side of Bradley Manning. Did Rosa Parks know on her eventful date on that bus how her courage would impact history? Bradley Manning deserves our praise for his valor in the face of a monstrous coverup by our government.

  13. I get proud of being human every time I see this soldier´s name and image anywhere. I get relieved that someone like him exists. May this great man BE FREE and bring CHANGE to the U.S.
    Arrest Bush and Cheney – they are, legally and in fact, real WAR CRIMINALS. They have to be prosecuted urgently.

    Obama is a farse, just another Bush now threatening ONE MORE WAR on Iran!! America needs a revolution.

  14. Heroes should be celebrated! It’s better to free a free man, especially one who’s served his country in more than one very brave way, than to penalize him AND also allow it to be known. You MUST AMEND WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS TRUE PATRIOT! Repercussions will abound otherwise. I’m not threatening, I’m warning you that people will rise against this unless you correct it! It’s already started in so many ways, just open your eyes and see it, or you’ll regret it!

  15. Manning represents the American people who were denied the truth by the Bush administration. Who stands for what is quite clear here.

  16. Hope Bradley can use the Nobel Million to sue the Bastard Government for a Billion and have his prosecutors prosecuted for high treason. Every second of life and some form of “freedom” are invaluable, not equal to a petty amount set by government lawyers. Sorry you have had to live on this prison planet Bradley, you deserve better.

  17. I am so proud of Bradley Manning. He may be an immature young man, but he has every right to be. The Armed Forces are mighty for sure….but, they sent Bradley Manning into the Intelligence field, knowing that he was deemed unfit by his psychologists. Bradley saw something that he decided was important for the american…north american….indeed, the world needs to know. He saw wrong things being done.

    To all you people who love your stations in life….you have a very big decision to make. You can stay on the party line, the government line, or the financial line, and you can still get honest about the fact that there are atrocities going on within our governments that have become so obvious and so evil.

    If the kids are the future, then we better leave them something with substance,…not a pile of Liars, Thieves and Cheaters. The New World Order, from America’s point of view, requires compliance to the degree that all federal employees in North America, Britain, Germany and France should not be reading the wikileaks files because they are about a bad man who committed treason. But, aside from what kind of lifestyle the young man had, the contents of the files themselves reveals the whole point of the American Overkill. None of that whole Wikileaks thing is about Bradley Manning or Julian Assange. The entire story is actually about the files themselves and what they expose.

    Thank You Bradley…and Thank You to every person who finally realizes what the media has been putting on every day. Every day…the media are trained to focus our thinking to wonder what the celebrities are doing or providing us with ultimate entertainment 24/7.

    Dear Mr. Obama

    Bradley Manning should be promoted to be a part of your Staff. I can only assume that you teach your children as I have taught mine. That is,… speak your mind if you need to…so we can discuss and move forward. This is your chance to win it all…..turn against the corruption….use your awesome security forces to push against the pollution in every way you can. I am sure that you will be that victim on the grassy knoll before long…..but you will have served beyond your mandate….

  18.

  19. Keep it up! I’m reading every news on this web.
