Statement of Support 

"Ehren Watada is doing what all good and patriotic Americans should be doing -- following their conscience instead of our political leaders, especially when the President violates the Constitution, disregards international law including the Charter of the United Nationa, and wages an aggressive war against people who have not threatened or invaded our country.

He is acting in the best tradition of our greatest Americans -- Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King, Mark Twain -- all of whom opposed immoral wars. As a former officer in the Air Force, a veteran of bombing missions over Europe, I admire Lt. Watada for representing what is best in our nation --- standing up for peace, for human life."
