Former Presidential Candidate & President of National Action Network

Statement of Support 

I would like to hereby express my utmost respect
and admiration for Lt. Ehren Watada and his honorable
refusal of orders for deployment in the war in Iraq.  As
a Minister and head of a civil rights organization, I
wholeheartedly support Lt. Watada's stance and
commend his right as a citizen of the "Land of the
Free" to conscientiously object to a war that is
unjust and wrong. I applaud Lt. Watada's courageous
opposition to the illegal and immoral war in Iraq and
offer my help in any way that I can.

--Reverend Al Sharpton
