Friend,

Last week, the world learned Captain Brett Crozier’s name.

When his crew aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt fell ill from the coronavirus, he did what any military officer would do if their crew was in danger -- he sounded the alarm and pleaded for assistance to keep his sailors safe.

As of writing this, over 170 crew members of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, including Captain Crozier himself, have tested positive for COVID-19. But in spite of his courage, his vigilance, and his determination to do the right thing -- or perhaps, because of it -- the Secretary of Defense dismissed Capt. Crozier from his command.

But that’s not all -- in an address delivered to the USS Theodore Roosevelt’s crew, Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly attacked Capt. Crozier’s character, calling him “naive” and “stupid,” and blaming the media for trying to “divide” and “embarrass” the U.S. Navy.

Speaking as a veteran myself, I’m proud to stand with Capt. Crozier, and I unequivocally denounce any attempts by this administration to smear his reputation for daring to speak out on behalf of his crew’s safety, starting with Acting Secretary Modly. That’s why today, I’m calling for Thomas Modly’s resignation. If you support Capt. Crozier, will you join me by signing my petition today?

SIGN HERE: DEMAND ACTING NAVY SEC. MODLY RESIGN

Best,
Ted
