Brad Manning has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sign petition here.
http://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5459

Let's Get Bradley Manning the Nobel Peace Prize

The Nobel Peace Prize is supposed to go to "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Three members of Parliament in Iceland have nominated Bradley Manning and laid out the case:

"Manning is a soldier in the United States army who stands accused of releasing hundreds of thousands of documents to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The leaked documents pointed to a long history of corruption, war crimes, and imperialism by the United States government in international dealings. These revelations have fueled democratic uprising around the world, including a democratic revolution in Tunisia. According to journalists, his alleged actions helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements, shed light on secret corporate influence on our foreign policies, and most recently contributed to the Obama Administration agreeing to withdraw all U.S.troops from the occupation in Iraq."

Few have done more. A number of previous peace laureates have done far less.

My nutsack has done more for world peace

6. One, petitions are not recognized by the Nobel committee.

Second, neither are the "nominations" made by outside parties. Being "nominated" carries exactly no weight whatsoever.

Can't have that.

13. An internet petition is not "engagement." It's the opposite of that, actually.


It's pushing a button to feel like you're doing something without actually doing anything.

11. Indeed. A far more deserving candidate than Obama was.


I suspect Obama was awarded with great hope for the future of peace with him in office.

Drone attacks and the assassination of an innocent American teenager probably has some who gave it to him feeling pretty let down.

Manning is a true hero, and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.


Oh no you DINT!!!

Effeminate Bradley has been worn out to the point where a few M67's being pushed by Lemmiwinks would work out just fine.

Benedict Arnold just signed the petition. In fact, Mr. Arnold thinks that there should be a retroactive Nobel Peace Prize given to him.

I can think of one laureate in particular who had done less when given the award...and then went on to spread peace by launching a needless war in Libya.
