Dear friends at Courage to Resist:
Congratulations on your fine work to assist the young people who know that they have been called to serve in an illegal and immoral conflict. These young people are well educated and they understand the sacred principles of the Nuremberg Declarations and the Code of Military Justice. In addition to their knowledge they have the courage required to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
We are not a monarchy and we established this nation to be a rejection of monarchy. We do not obey illegal orders.
“If not for the efforts of … Courage to Resist, there’s no way that a president would spend the political capital to grant a commutation.”
