I am petitioning the Obama administration to pardon Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning. All Pvt. Manning did was shed light on the atrocities our government has been doing in the so-called war on terror and the lives we have affected. It is a shame that the people who ordered and followed these war crimes are not and will not be punished but the person who let the American public know about these crimes is the one who's being punished. Pvt. Chelsea Manning was mentally and physically tortured in prison for many years before she was even charged with a crime, and it is about time she be released. I challenge the Obama administration to actually "change" things in Washington and pardon this American hero. "Looking Forward, Not Backward” - Barrack Obama
