A Little Bit About Chacounne
My name is Heather and my mission is to stop torture as the law, policy and practice of the United States, and to have those responsible held legally accountable. That mission is in the name and memory of my husband, Dan, who was a US Vietnam vet who survived torture. Dan suffered from his injuries for over thirty years, until his fatal heart attack almost four years ago.
Going to Netroots Nation will help me with my mission. You can help make that happen.
If you’d like to help, please read the highlights of my application for a Netroots Scholarship below and consider signing up to support my application.

With gratitude,
Hugs,
For Dan,
Heather

C’mon Fire Pups! If you have not voted for Chacounne then now is the time. You just have to either log in at DFA or sign up then you can support one of the true torture accountability advocates!
She deserves a scholarship and you can brag a little that you helped when she is famous!
you are one class act. and you know why.

Thank you for all you do.
Heather;
Voted for your scholarship. And I also vote that when this diary drops off or times out, resubmit it until the deadline for the scholarship comes.
Here’s what I typed into the comment box–
Heather; Your consistent, sustaining advocacy gives me hope.
Registered at DFA just to be able to express my support for you Chacounne / Heather.
Good luck, you deserve it.
Hi Heather
I’m going over to register
We had a new commenter at our little local blog over the weekend who was very ignorant to the realities of the situation in Afghanistan and the war crimes of Bush and Cheney who commented to a blog I posted over the weekend. If you want to read it click the link below
