I am still willing to discuss with you or your representative how we can avoid any conflict on Sunday.   I sincerely hope that you share the potential for conflict over the exercise of our Freedom of Speech with officials outside of the Quantico Marine Base. If veterans and other citizens are denied their constitutional rights to Freedom of Speech and Assembly, the Administration and USMC will be further embarrassed by showing a lack of respect for the Constitution which, as you know, assures us of a right to Freedom of Speech and Assembly that cannot be abridged.   I hope either you or others in the military will reconsider the possibility of denying our Constitutionally protected rights.

 

Second, we unequivocally deny any affiliation, knowledge or association with any plans for violence or destruction of property, vandalism or harassment of base personnel as described in the memorandum below. We have nothing to do with the group Anonymous, have had no discussions with them about any cyber-attacks on Quantico and if we were asked would discourage such attacks especially on the day of our Bradley Manning support rally. Such attacks will undermine the message we are intending to send about Pfc. Manning being denied his Constitutional right to Due Process of law and undergoing cruel and unusual punishment which is banned by the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

 

Once again, we ask you to please work with us in good faith and dignity to make this event work as it should under the Constitution, statutes and laws we all honor and respect. I stand ready and willing to work with you or your representatives, to make this work appropriately, and may be contacted for this purpose at any time, day or night, in furtherance of that goal.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Zeese, Esq.
