As of now it looks like former Chairman of Armed Services, Congressman Ron Dellums, will be the author. Please keep highly confidential. Will keep you posted on if, when and where it gets published. Once it is published we can all circulate it highly. We believe that this article sets the tone for the advocacy we will be doing and having someone very prominent like Congressman Dellums will also be a great way to launch this campaign. Congressman Ronald Dellums is a thirteen term Member of the U.S. House of Representatives (D-CA) who served from 1971-1998. He also served as the 48th Mayor of Oakland from 2007-2011.
