Action Alert: Defend Sergeant Kevin Benderman!
Sgt. Benderman has refused to deploy to Iraq
Here are some ways you can help
On January 7, 2005, 40 year old Sergeant Kevin Benderman, stationed in
Ft. Stewart, GA, refused an order to deploy to Iraq, applied for
Conscientous Objector status, and requested a Courts-Martial. He and
his wife, Monica, have been speaking out against the war, and bravely
defending their case. They have conducted dozens of interviews and
received hundreds and hundreds of emails--not all of them have been
supportive.
Here are some ways you can help:
1) Read Kevin and Monica's letters
A Matter of Conscience, Kevin Benderman
One Man's Choice And Its Unsupportive Consequences, Monica Benderman
2) Send a message of support to Kevin and Monica
send a message to dgardfrey@gmail.com. The messages will be combined
and forwarded to Kevin and Monica.
3) Print these flyers:
"Domestic Enemy"
Here is Kevin's open letter to Bush. A great piece of antiwar
literature where Kevin correctly identifies Bush as a "domestic
enemy." This can be distributed to students, co-workers, neighbors
etc.

"Defend Sgt.Kevin Benderman":
A .pdf flyer to spread awareness and support for Kevin's case, print it
out and put it up - located here
(note: there's a space to write a local contact for an antiwar group at
the bottom of the flyer)
4) Get the word out to others!
