Benefit Party in Scotts Valley for War Objector Marc Hall
Iraq War Veteran Marc Hall Jailed for Angry 'Stop-Loss' Hip-Hop Song
Army Spc. Marc Hall, who had been jailed in Georgia county jails since December 12, 2009 for producing an angry hip-hop song about "stoploss" was placed on a military flight bound for Iraq on the night of February 26, 2010. Marc flew out of Hunter Army Airfield, with a stop in Spain, before arriving in Balad, Iraq. He is expected to be transported to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait for continued pre-trial confinement. The Army has made it clear that Marc will face a General Courts Martial that could result in years in prison and a dishonorable discharge.
On his website, Marc co-authored and published the following in a statement regarding his situation, "The Army can call the Stop Loss Policy a different name, but it all means the same thing--"Stop-Loss". Specialist Hall's wish is to get out the ARMY on time like his Active Duty contract states- Three years and 28 weeks of Active Duty. His ETS Date is as stated "February 27th 2010". By the will of God he said to our editors he shall be released back to his life as a civilian and a father. The way a Father should be there after serving the people of the United States of America."
Local musicians, artists, and GI rights supporters are coming together in benefit of Marc Hall on Friday, March 26th at 8pm at The Studio Space in Scotts Valley.
