Thanks, both to both Jane and the many participants.
Thank you all. And thanks to twolf for the pictures.
Wonderful to see. So glad they had great weather and the media were out in good numbers too. Great coverage and excellent shots twolf!
Our rally in Vancouver will be smaller but I’ll take some photos and send them if you like. Message me the e-mail address, please. :)
Thank you. And stay safe at Quantico.
Undeclared war on Libya, Cruel and Unusual Punishment of Bradley Manning:
what do those acts have in common?
Thanks. Since our morans are calling all the natural catastrophes in Japan as their god’s judgment on that land for its failure to do as their gods say, no doubt these morans on the right will see their gods’ blessings on you all because of the gorgeous weather, right?
Arrested for protesting peacefully. How very…Bahraini…of them.
Go Go Go!!
That United Corporations of America flag is a very affective image. Shows where the priorities are.
Thanks so much. All of you make my heart soar!
Would it be a copyrite infringement if I used your corporate flag photo as my desktop?
What are the chances that, out of pique, Manning’s jailers won’t double down on his punishment.

Manning’s jailersOcheney won’t double down on his punishment.But we’ve even gotten the MSM to notice. No small thing. Agitate, agitate, agitate, it’s all we’ve got.
Slim to none. You know Manning will pay for this cheek.
I understand and am not criticizing the rallies, which I think are great.
Just trying to anticipate how the ghouls in D.C. could possibly handle situations any more incompetently & cruelly.
He got a good bit of support in Chicago too. Here are some pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/60814633@N04/?saved=1
How disrespectful while America’s warriors are in harm’s way. /DOD_social_media_troll
I’d like to see Hillary’s counterpart in another country, or two/three/four, address the lack of freedom of speech/assembly in the US. It’s time to start calling the US out for its blatant hypocrisy.
Jane, thanks for being there, for those of us who can’t
Who will be coming to the aid of our arrested protesters and rebel forces in this country fighting oppressive state governments and their corporate overlords.
Thanks to all who showed up.
Never. Give. Up.
Can you put that flag on a T-shirt? I’d be proud to buy the first one.
How long did you spend in the military?
Jane I could wish the force be with yo but it already is.
Be bold but safe, thanks wishing I could be there.
i know you’re just snarkin out of pure disgust at what this monstrosity has become .. anyway, about to jump in the shower before heading to quantico .. glad i’m near enough to go .. who knows when they’ll start killing us a la Bahrain .. as far as i’m concerned anymore, would be a fine way to die
If you’re talking about the Veterans for Peace flag, you betch ‘um, Red Ryder.
A great beginning. Thanks to all carry the flag for us.
This was a reference to a troll on a previous thread.
(And, BTW, the answer is zero. I was 9 during Tet.)
Oh, okay, sorry. Yeah, you were a little young to be chasin’ Charlie.
A better link.
Thanks for trying, SD, but I was hoping for the ‘Murikan flag with the corporate emblems instead of stars. Any suggestions?

I agree, that’s a great flag. I’d buy one too. Wonder where he got that. Anyone know?
Thanks, beat me to it. Methinks it would be too small an image for a t-shirt.
Thank you, Jane, for this post.
Thank you all for standing up for Bradley!
No problem…I don’t know anything about printing t-shirts. Good Luck.
Thanks to both of you, probably is too large to fit nicely on a t-shirt, but some of the logos might stand out enough to get the message across. I think I’ll contact them anyway, never hurts to ask.
Thanks for the update & great photo. Best to all who have ability to rally either at Quantico today or other solidarity rallies.
Free Bradley Manning!!!

You are brave, fearless souls and I salute you. Let’s do this every year so we can plan on it! So I can be there next year! Momentum is crucial.
Be safe in the Quantico area.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this protest! Surely, the White House must now know what you– and we all– think about Manning’s intolerable incarceration.
Thanks to all who participated and defended what’s left of our democracy. Thanks to Jane for reporting in it and for being there in support, and thanks especially to Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers who seem all but omnipresent in movements to save democracy in America.
Could not make it from Idaho. Thanks to all that did. I think I see the back of Rachel Maddow’s head. I am looking forward to watching this on the news Monday. Keep up the fight Jane, 10 months in Solitary confinement should put a few in jail, and one of them is NOT Bradley Manning.
