SSGT. Bowe Bergdahl

SSGT. Bowe Bergdahl, U.S. Army was captured by the Taliban on June 30, 2009.  The Taliban has released several videos of Bergdahl in captivity.  Bergdahl, 25, is from Hailey, Idaho.  This picture was released December 8, 2010.  It shows U.S. Army prisoner of war POW SSGT. Bowe Bergdahl alongside his suspected captor, Mullah Sangeen Zadran.

The Taliban is demanding the release of 21 Afghan prisoners and Aafia Siddiqui in exchange for Bergdahl’s release.  It is time to do whatever it takes to bring Bowe Bergdahl home alive.

Call 202-224-3121 and leave a message for your U.S. congressman and U.S. Senator.  Tell them you want Bowe Bergdahl brought home alive, even if it means trading Taliban prisoners for him.  Leave your name and address and ask that send you a written reply to your request.

Please write three letters NOW.  Time is running out for Afghanistan POW Bowe Bergdahl.

Letter to your representative:

(The present date)

The Honorable (Your Representative)

United States House of Representatives

Washington, DC 20515

 

Dear Representative (Last Name),

(First paragraph should be a thank you for something they do that you like, keep it courteous)

 

As you know, the Taliban captured Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, from Hailey, Idaho, in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009.  A video released on December 8, 2010 shows Taliban leader Mullah Sangeen Zadran and POW Bowe Bergdahl.  Bergdahl is seen with a significant wound on his left cheek.  The link to this video is:

Why is POW Bowe Bergdahl not home?  I know that the official policy is not to negotiate with terrorists.  Lately our government traded Russian spies for American spies.  We even negotiated with Iran for a hiker.  We do negotiate with terrorists.  It just depends on what want to negotiate for.

 

If the president’s child or the child of any prominent political or high profile person were held captive, we certainly would do everything to get them free.  I want the same value placed on POW Bowe Bergdahl and all efforts made to bring him home alive, even if we trade Taliban prisoners for him.  We do not want to see another American POW left behind.

 

Would you please bring his case before congress?  We need to focus attention on live American POW (POW Bowe Bergdahl) before it is too late.

 

Sincerely

(Your Name)
