Re: [blind-democracy] Julian Assange to Accept Time in US Prison if Chelsea Manning Granted Clemency

Today I will draft a letter, and send it when I am satisfied that it
says what I mean, to President Barak Obama. When I think of this
great Land, built upon the cruel and vicious advance of invaders from
across the Atlantic Ocean, violating God only knows what long
established laws set in place by those people who occupied that Land,
and when I think of the descendants of those invaders who later
violated the Laws of the Land and rose up against the oppressive King
of England, and when I think of those courageous Slaves, owned as if
they were nothing more than personal property, who violated the Laws
of the Land and dared to run away from their proper owners, in search
of Freedom, and when the equally brave folks who constituted the
Underground Railroad violated all Laws of the Land, and aided and
abetted those unlawful runaways, and when I think of those bruised and
battered Union Men who stood in unity as the Company Goons battered
them, And when I think of those young men and women who left the
Northern states to stand up for the Right to Vote by the Black
Citizens of this Great Land, I have to ask my president, "Sir, are you
really standing for the American People? If so, then you can find it
in your good conscience to pardon all of those brave men and women who
currently stand tall, and often alone, for Freedom."
