Why this letter matters
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales served four combat tours in the aftermath of 9/11, putting his life on the line for our country.
Today, he is serving a life sentence in military prison — a punishment imposed after a trial marred by political pressure, withheld evidence, and serious due process concerns.
This letter asks the President to review Robert’s case and grant clemency based on those failures, as well as Robert’s extraordinary rehabilitation while incarcerated.
By sending this letter, you are standing up for fairness, accountability, and the principle that those who serve our country deserve the same constitutional protections they defend.
