"This man has sacrificed a great deal for all of us who believe in honest government and genuine democracy."
-- Kaye F., Longmont, CO

"Let's walk the walk!"
-- Richard R., Albuquerque, NM

"My beloved country, the USA, is spending too much money and lives on militarism. We have invaded other countries on the basis of lies. I believe this young man will be seen as a hero some day. That he is in prison says much about the USA and its military."
-- Marcie B., Flagstaff, AZ

"It is the hawks who are threatened by Manning and want to nip this kind of behavior in the bud."
-- Shelley D., Issaquah, WA

"Wow, what it would do for the world to honor someone who actually acted for peace with courage and self-less-ness. Having that reference would give enormous hope for people around the world and for humankind!"
-- Connie S., Santa Barbara, CA

"This is a wonderful idea! Bradley Manning certainly deserves it, and if he receives it, it would have to shame the U.S. government into releasing him."
-- Rose B., Austin, TX

"Rarely have I felt so strongly about a Nobel nominee's qualification for the honor. PFC Manning has given a significant part of his life, night and day, to bring truth to light and reduce human suffering. History will judge him a hero. History starts here, now."
-- John K., Laurel, MD

"Bradley Manning is a hero of the people. He should be freed and given the Nobel Peace Prize AND a ticker-tape parade in NYC."
-- Leonard M., San Marcos, CA

"Give peace and Bradley Manning a chance."
-- Martha L., Dixon, CA

"I am Proud of Bradley Manning and how he took action to expose the treachery of my government to stop it. Bradley Manning deserves the Nobel Peace Prize along with Julian Assange!"
-- L. L., San Diego, CA

"Bravery and altruism are what stands between us and the power and greed of unscrupulous might which has no conscience."
-- Caroline T., Ann Arbor, MI

"Bring the trial into the light of day. Don't let Manning be "disappeared.' This is America."
-- Jeffrey G., San Carlos, CA

"Bradley is a political prisoner in our country that preaches freedom and democracy on the outside but does so many illegal things behind our backs without transparency!"
-- Steve & Sharon B., Oxnard, CA

"Bradley Manning has done more than anyone in the world to let all people know the deplorable state of U.S. militarism."
-- Gail O., Portland, OR

"In 2001, the world began a steep descent into terrible, ethical unknown. We are now in free fall, thanks to the unbridled and abetted preemptive strikes on two countries Afghanistan and Iraq. The most pressing issues on the planet -- inequality and climate collapse -- have effectively been negated and conflict is escalating daily based on new and old rivalries throughout the world. Soon, much of the world's species will inevitably be condemned [to] death-struggles over food, water, air and brute force. Bradley Manning will go down -- if we live to write the history of the world in 2200 -- as one of great souls of our age. He deserves recognition now by all those concerned with the crises we now face and must solve together as a planet and a human society."
-- Ari M., Lennox, MA

"Peace is unattainable without sacrificial lambs, apparently."
-- William T., Ellicott City, MD
