Please Sign 1Lt. Michael Behenna's Petition for Clemency

A November update from Scott and Vicki Behenna (which I missed it when it arrived in my inbox last month):

To the thousands of supporters of 1Lt Michael Behenna,

It has been awhile since we sent out an update. Michael's lawyers have filed the petition to the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF). The CAAF is the highest court for the military justice system and is similar to the Supreme Court as they do not have to take your appeal. There were four issues on Michael's case presented to the CAAF and we would expect to hear within 30-60 days whether the CAAF will hear his case. If the CAAF does not choose to hear any of the issues, then Michael’s appeals are done. So you can see the importance of this appeal. We desperately need your prayers so that Michael’s conviction will be seen by the CAAF for what it is – an abomination of the military justice system. The CAAF judges are civilians, so it is our hope that they will look at Michael's case much differently than how the military judges have thus far.

  1. My God this permanent war mentality has to stop.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir but this shit has to stop.

    The American public with their puffed up chest and Star Spangled Banner BS is deplorable. They live in a fantasy land never realizing the repercussions this mentality brings.

    These are kids, willing to step up to the call of duty never knowing the utter vacuum this "call of duty" exists in.Just pawns in the grand scheme of a despot government power grab.

    The lack of historical due diligance that the American public shows is reason for everything that might be set on their door step. Ignorance is NOT an excuse!!

    Word of these times we live in...Prepare.


    Pissed off again, seems a constant state.

  2. Please sign this young man's petition. I just can't believe this is still going on. He could be pardoned.
