Subject: Please Accept Lt. Watada's Resignation

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

The best course of action for the army, the nation and 1st Lt. Ehren Watada is for the army to accept Lt. Watada's resignation and give him an honorable or general discharge. Voters sent a clear message in the November, 2006 elections that they oppose the war in Iraq. War resisters who refuse to deploy to Iraq should not be sentenced to prison for expressing their beliefs. The Iraq war is illegal. It's time for the army to accept Lt. Watada's resignation.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
January 23, 2007
