[TCDPCO] Fwd: [Obama-CD9] Congratulations! Re: Capt. James Yee for Obama Delegate (CD-9)

[Elizabeth Shepard]

Thought I would share this with you all.  This guy is so great I  
cannot tell you how much I respect him!  He stood up to the Army at  
Guantanamo, and for speaking out about the torture he spent 76 days   
in solitary confinement,  given a dishonorable discharge, and branded  
a "terrorist".

I am so proud that he will be representing LD-22, Thurston County, and  
the 9th Congressional District in Denver at the National Convention.  
He had the courage to speak truth to power and is a humble hero about  
it, for me he represents what is best in this country.
