Liam Madden is a Veteran of a four-year tour of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, including seven months in Iraq. After returning to the United States, Sergeant Madden seized the opportunity to mobilize his fellow service members to speak out against the illegal, unjustified, and never-ending occupation of Iraq.

Liam is a co-founder of the Appeal for Redress, a campaign of active service members who are appealing to congress to remove all American military forces and bases from Iraq.  From within the ranks of the military Sergeant Madden has been propelled to the forefront of the anti-war movement.  In building the Appeal for Redress Liam has dedicated the last few months to being a leading activist and acting as a media spokesperson for the 1,200 service men and women who have signed the Appeal.

"There are some important issues that people need to raise. And this is one very close to my heart," Madden stated on CNN recently. Liam hopes the movement to end the war will catalyze people in this nation to seek a new direction in our society.  The Army Times quoted Madden in an article covering the Appeal for Redress: "Not one more of my brothers should die for a lie.  This is my generation's call to conscience."

Liam is appearing regularly in the national and international media, including 60 Minutes on CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, National Public Radio, Newsweek, LA Times, Salon, and The Washington Post.  Liam is motivated by the urgency to end the war and he is determined to reach through the apathy of our culture and inspire people to change the world.

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.
