"Mail just like in jail is highly appreciated"

Please send letters to Rodney Watson a Ft Hood Iraq war vet/ resister who is seeking sanctuary in Canada. We can't forget about those that resisted the Iraq war and are still resisting and fighting for their conscience today despite continuing to face harsh consequences. 

Please read the article for more on Rodney's story.

Let's let him know we stand with him and have not forgotten about him.

Rodney Watson Jr.

Here is an article from Courage to Resist

" My conscience was tormenting me. I feel like that blood, that splatter, is still on my hands because I'm not grabbing that soldier and saying, ‘Stop!' I'm not reporting what he's doing. There's a time when if you see something going on you don't agree with, it doesn't agree with you mind, body, and soul, you gotta say no."
