This makes a mockery of everything the USA is supposed to stand for.  Democracy and freedom of speech. Leave your presudency with a real statement.

Dear President Obama, please pardon Chelsea Manning. She should not be in prison for telling the truth, for exposing war crimes and corruption. Punish the war criminals, not the whistleblowers. Please do the right thing. The world will appreciate.

Peace.

My name is Sara Warnquist and I am a student at the Pennsylvania State University. I am studying Social Psychology, International Development, and Political Science...I am a social, environmental, and political activist...I support CHELSEA Manning because the United States is supposed to be a democracy and we have the right to know how our country is supporting us in the international realm. We have the right to condone or condemn acts of violence. We have the right to say whether or not our country should go to war. We have been denied that right time and time again and Chelsea's acts have helped to remove the veil of secrecy over the inner workings of our military. She is a martyr for human rights and keeping her behind bars is an atrocious disgrace to this country and all that it is SUPPOSED to stand for. I am a poet, a Green Party member, and above all...an advocate for peace and equality. Pardon Chelsea Manning.

I'm a spaniard student who values the rights the status of citizenship entails; Pvt. Manning behavior should help update the somewhat outdated military law and apply to her retroactively allowing her freedom.
