Petitions calling for President Nixon to grant "full and immediate clemency for Calley were circulated among the group. Williams said he plans to mail the petitions directly to Nixon. He also called for the people to send their senators telegrams which, he said, would be taken en massee next Saturday to President Nixon. At one point during the rally, the group, carrying American flags and "Free Cally" signs, marched around the capitol chanting its demands while a 25-car motorcade drove around the capitol grounds."
