Organize or participate in a vigil. We need to send a clear message to the Army:
No New Court Martial! Dismiss All Charges!
Release Lt. Watada with an Honorable Discharge!
On Nov 8th, we rejoiced to learn of the preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle. The court holds that Lt. Watada is likely to succeed at demonstrating that the military judge acted 'irrationally, irresponsibly, precipitately' and abused his 'discretion.' (Read the points made by Judge Settle
Incredibly, the Army has announced its intent to file briefs in U.S. District Court to try to prevent the injunction from becoming permanent.
The National Steering Committee of Friends & Family of Lt. Watada calls on supporters nationwide to vigil on the 1st[and] 3rd Saturdays of each month.
THANK LT WATADA
