Kansas City Bradley Manning Rally Yolanda

Over 60 people gathered on The Plaza, Kansas City's famous "upscale" shopping district, with its famous fountain historically known for peaceful public assembly of various social and political issues. The rally program was MC'd by Navy Veteran, Jeff Johnson. Speakers included: Dr. Yolanda Huet-Vaughn, famed conscientious objector court-martialed for refusing to serve in Operation Desert Storm. Also, Tom Klammer, consistent public supporter of WikiLeaks and Bradley Maning, host of "Tell Somebody" on KKFI, Kansas City's community run radio station. Local poets, William Peck, Rachel Asbury, and Ron Faust also spoke. Dozens of supporters stayed through sunset holding signs and banners by the side of the busy shopping district's main intersection.
