Ann Wright Retired Army Colonel and State Department official. Wright has been working hard to combat the Iraq War. This was the second time I'â¢d seen her speak, as she spoke at a press conference earlier in the year for Ehren Watada. She is an interesting, down-to-earth woman, who has had a lot of experience with the military, and government. She offers some valuable insight into government, and is a warm speaker. Your audience will LOVE Ann Wright. She has a cheerleader quality about her, with more credibility. Oh yeah, make that the third time I'â¢d seen her as she was at a freeway vigil for Watada a couple of weeks ago that I attended.
