demand and procure the release of American Citizen, veteran, and father Merrill Newman from the North Korean Government.

85 year old veteran Merrill Newman was detained in North Korea on Oct. 26, 2013 by the DPRK (The Democratic People's Republic of Korea). On Nov. 30, a video was released of him reading a "confession" to crimes against North Korea dating back to his time fighting for the United States during the Korean War. Mr. Newman risked his life for this country. He has done his duty. We, as a country, must now fight for him.
