While President Obama was out in San Francisco to rub elbows with tech giants, a group within the crowd, started singing to the President, that Bradley Manning is being detained unfairly, and without just cause. Reports say the person who organized this protest paid to have a song composed and written and then paid for the ticket of each protester, just to ensure that the President himself gets to hear their words.

Protesters Interrupt Obama to Sing Support for Bradley Manning
By Kim Zetter
April 21, 2011

Protesters supporting WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning managed to infiltrate a private fundraiser for President Barack Obama on Thursday morning in San Francisco, interrupting his remarks with a song.

As Obama was speaking at the $5,000-a-plate breakfast fundraiser, California activist Naomi Pitcairn (above), sitting at one of the tables, began humming and singing a modified version of the song “Where’s Our Change?”, decrying Manning’s treatment in prison. Pitcairn removed her blazer and shirt to reveal a T-shirt with a picture of the young Army intelligence analyst who is suspected of leaking a massive cache of classified and sensitive documents to the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks.

As the rest of the group at Pitcairn’s table joined in with her song, they held up signs that read “Free Bradley Manning“.

“Each of us brought you $5,000 — we’ll vote for you in 2012, yes that’s true. Look at the Republicans, what else can we do,” the group sang.
