Cynthia McKinney

Former U.S. Representative

"I lend my support to Lieutenant Ehren Watada's stance that the war in Iraq is an unnecessary and wasteful use of our military and resources. As a former Congress member who brought forth articles of impeachment against this President and his administration, I know the courage it takes to stand up and follow one's convictions, to speak and act, while others are reluctant,silent, perhaps even paralyzed with fear.  Fear prevents many from acting, this is why thosethat act upon their convictions in the face of fear and adversity are true heroes.  You do notstand alone, there are many citizens in this country and in our military who acknowledge and support your effort, your sacrifice and your courage.
"Sometimes, not following orders is the rightthing to do.  May God bless and protect you and guide those that sit in judgment upon you to also respect and honor your moral convictions."
