Visitor And Correspondence List For Bradley Manning & Contributing To Bradley Manning's Legal Defense

By David E. Coombs

15 March, 2011
Armycourtmartialdefense.info

Our office has received many inquires regarding how someone may get on the approved mailing and visitors list for PFC Manning. The Quantico Brig requires PFC Manning to submit an official request form in order to add or remove a person from his approved visitor and correspondence list.

If PFC Manning submits a request to add a person to his approved visitor and correspondence list, the Brig will conduct a background check on the requested person. After completing its review, the Brig with either approve or disapprove PFC Manning's request. Under the Brig's rules, PFC Manning is not allowed to add a journalist on his visitor or correspondence list.

If you know PFC Manning and would like to be added to his visitor and correspondence list, the Manning family has created an email account for facilitating the process. Each week, a member of PFC Manning's family will review the submitted requests. The family member will then take these requests to PFC Manning for his decision.

You may write to the Manning family at [email protected] in order to request to be added to the visitor and correspondence list or just to pass on your words of support and encouragement.

How to Contribute to Bradley Manning's Legal Defense

There are several organizations that are collecting donations for the defense of PFC Bradley Manning. The only organization that is contributing funding to PFC Manning's legal defense is "Courage to Resist." Other organizations have been established independently to promote advocacy and awareness related to PFC Manning's case. These organizations do not contribute in any way to the legal expenses involved.

If you would like to ensure that a 100% of your donation goes directly to costs associated with the legal defense, the best way to do so is by making a contribution to legal trust account. In order to do this, please mail a check or money order to "IOLTA/Manning" and mail to Courage to Resist, 484 Lake Park Ave. #41, Oakland, CA 94610.

Alternatively, you can make a donation to the Bradley Manning Defense Fund through "Courage to Resist" here. A portion of this donation will go toward the legal defense effort. The remainder will go towards public education and support activities.
