Michael Moore picks up LaVena Johnson story

Michael Moore’s website has republished the text of the KMOV-TV report on Pfc. Lavena Johnson and the Army’s refusal to reopen the investigation of her death. MichaelMoore.com has also posted a link to the membership page of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

For the convenience of concerned readers, I posted earlier on this site direct contact links for each member of both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. That info is repeated below.

(Update! A separate web-based petition to the two Armed Services Committees regarding LaVena is now available. Direct contact with individual members of these committees is still most helpful, however.)

This section updated: I urge concerned readers are urged to contact their own Senator or Representative who serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee or the House Armed Services Committee. These bodies are charged with legislative oversight of the armed forces; with enough will, their members can compel the Army to respond to LaVena’s family. Help these legislators find that will by asking them to act in their capacity as members of these committees.
