Departments Letters to the Editor/ Free Press Forum National press conference for border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean by Steve Elliott January 11, 2007 This Wednesday (Jan. 10, 2007) Grassfire will be in Washington, D.C. to present more than 200,000 petitions at a national press conference for border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. This could be the last opportunity to make a plea for these agents who are scheduled to begin their decade long prison terms on January 17! These men have been abandoned by the justice system, and now with their final hours of freedom dwindling, we are calling on members of our team to help us make one final, energetic plea to pardon these men and right this wrong. + + Please Alert your Friends We have just surpassed 200,000 petition signatures--with more than 40,000 new signers added over the last two weeks! We have witnessed an incredible turnout on behalf of agents Ramos and Compean. And as we near this final press event, we want to punctuate this amazing show of support by adding an additional 15,000 signatures over the next 24 hours! It is an aggressive push, but Americans are a great group, and if they are told of the plight of these two agents, they will react... Please forward this message to your friends urging them to join with you by signing our petition demanding the President pardon these agents. Click here to sign: http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp?PID=12144576&NID=1 With your help, Ron De Jong and I will stand at the podium and present your petitions with the announcement that our team had stepped up and rallied an additional 15,000 citizens to stand with these agents demanding their freedom! And finally, if you haven't done so already, please take a moment to call the White House: 202/456-1111, and demand the President pardon these two Border Agents! Thanks for taking immediate action with me. Steve Elliott President Grassfire.org Alliance P.S: Ignacio Ramos told me that his spirits have been lifted knowing that he and agent Compean have the support of so many Americans.
