"One person deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize is Bradley Manning for bravery despite the risk to his personal safety. The criminals go unpunished, while the messenger is condemned."
-- Helga G., St. Louis, MO

"This young man has put his entire future on the line to bring us information that he felt every American should be aware of. We have treated him terribly. If we cannot get the information that is concerning the behavior of our country, we are dooming our democracy to failure. Protect this young man for his courage and award him the Nobel."
-- Laurie B., North Hollywood, CA

"You gave the prize to Barack Obama hoping for peace which was not delivered. Manning has ALREADY delivered. And is very much in need of international support."
-- Peter B., Brooklyn, NY

"And free him too."
-- Keith P., Boulder, CO

"Just as Daniel Ellsberg's release of the Pentagon Papers exposed much of the ugly truth about the conflict in Vietnam, Manning has spoken truth to power and the masses. We can argue about justifications for military intervention more appropriately when some of the less savory realities are known."
-- Edward & Pamela B., Baton Rouge, LA

"As a Sgt USMC Vietnam 1966/67, I urge you to not only award Bradley Manning the Nobel Peace Prize, but to rescind President Obama's award."
-- Robert B., Orange, TX

"We should have a law against criminalizing whistleblowers. The government will continue to make stupid mistakes and the citizens have a right to know the truth."
-- Sylvia D., Tulsa, OK

"Thanks Bradley. The truth will make us free."
-- Blase B., Los Angeles, CA

"Bradley's in prison while those responsible for these heinous acts of cowardice are free. It's so easy to condone war when isolated from reality."
-- Daria R., San Jose, CA

"He acted out of social consciousness. His actions were not treasonous and he was not aiding the enemy. It has been criminal how he has been treated since his arrest."
-- Gregg D., Chattanooga, TN

"If anyone ever really earned the peace price, it is Bradley Manning. Please give the world a favor by electing him for this award."
-- Liza F., Chapel Hill, NC

"Bradley Manning is the bravest, strongest and most righteous man in our military today. His treatment by our "government' has been nothing less than criminal. This needs to be brought to the attention of everyone on Earth."
-- Susan W., Pilot Hill, CA

"Someone in my family died on 9/11. How do we address the underlying causes that might drive someone to commit an act of terrorism in the first place? Might the information allegedly leaked by Manning galvanize people to hold their political leaders more accountable? And so we might be able to enact meaningful changes in the realm of foreign policy? Our current policies will only end in more blowback. Thank you, Bradley Manning."
-- Rick C., New Milford, NJ

"Indeed, this young man DOES walk in the shoes of Dr. King."
-- A.J. A., Potsdam, NY

"Bradley Manning knew what he was risking in taking his stand against the U.S. government and it was an act of inspiring selflessness. Please recognize his willingness to stand up against what has become a monstrous self preserving beast of a government."
-- Robert B., Charlotte, NC

"Bradley Manning is a hero willing to put his life on the line to speak out about war crimes that are not acceptable in a civilized world."
-- Linda L., Trinidad, CA
