Action Alert: Army moves Marc Hall's court martial to Iraq

The U.S. military plans to extradite stop-lossed Iraq veteran and fellow member, Marc Hall, to Iraq "within a few days" to face court martial for allegedly threatening military officers in a protest rap song he made.

Marc has been sitting in Liberty County jail near Fort Stewart, GA since December 11, 2009 becuse he wrote a song called, "Stop Loss" about the practice of involuntarily extending military members' contract.

Marc's lawyer believes that moving him to Iraq will violate his due process, isolating him from his legal support and making calling witnesses on his behalf nearly impossible.

He is working hard to prevent Marc's extradition to Iraq, and your calls right now can make a big difference.

Take action to support Marc by calling Ft. Stewart Public Affairs Chief, Kevin Larson at 912-435-9879.

Tell him that 1) you are opposed to holding Spc. Marc Hall's court martial in Iraq and 2) all charges against Marc should be dropped. If applicable, mention that you are a veteran during your call.
