URGENT, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOWUP. For the last two years I have been asking you all to get involved in the greatest injustice perpetrated on law enforcement. Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos have been locked up in Federal Prison long enough. The President has only a few days left to pardon these two Border Guards whose only crime was to shoot a drug smuggler in the rear end as he tried to escape capture. The man was carrying a large amount of drugs and was known to the Border Patrol as a mule for the cartels. I don’t know about you but I would rather have a drug smuggler with a bullet in his butt in prison than two guys who were defending my country. Federal Prosecutor, Johnny Sutton saw it differently and actually indemnified the smuggler so he could come here and testify. A few weeks later he was re arrested carrying more drugs to sell on our city streets. I guess he couldn’t get away so fast this time because he had a bullet in his butt. This travesty has gone on long enough. If anyone should be in prison it’s this prosecutor. Please take time right now to write to the White House and demand this pardon. This is a reprint of an article I posted several weeks ago and time is running out for these men.

REPRINT FROM NOVEMBER 12. 2008
One last time Mr. Bush, here’s your chance to redeem your self in the eyes of many. You have two Border Agents Compean and Ramos locked up in Federal Prison for doing what 90% of Americans wanted them to do. It’s in your power to commute their sentences and bring them back to their families. These men are hero’s to most Americans and are considered political prisoners by the Bush Administration. They should be released immediately and they should receive 100% of their back pay. Your Federal Prosecutor Johnny Sutton painted a picture of a poor itinerant Mexican just trying to make a living he met these two Border Agents who were on patrol in an area assigned to them to prevent smugglers and illegal aliens from entering the country. These two bullies shot this poor Mexican in cold blood in the rump as he tried to get away with his 700 pounds of dope. Come on Mr. Bush enough is enough. This Mexican who was shot was given immunity by Sutton to testify against these men and soon after was re arrested for smuggling even more dope into the country. If they had just aimed a little higher we would have less junk on our streets. These men have had to be placed in solitary confinement for their own protection as they are surrounded by Mexican drug smugglers in these prisons. It would be like you being placed in a prison with Al Qaeda prisoners who are sworn to kill you. What are you thinking Mr. President? What kind of deal with Mexico could you possibly have to keep these brave men incarcerated?

You have asked and received support from many of us for the war in Iraq. Actually we are embroiled in three wars Mr. President, Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on drugs which we are losing badly. We have documented cases of actual military incursions across our border where the Mexican Soldiers have guarded the escape of drug smugglers even firing their weapons in the process. All this and you let Sutton keep these two locked up in a living heii. I voted for you twice and I must say I am totally disappointed in your last term. Most of us were so proud of the way you took charge after 9/11 but you have failed badly in all areas of the domestic front. You have personally set back the Conservative Movement at least ten years. Please Mr. President I beseech you, release these men immediately and remove all stigma from their record. They and their families have suffered greatly at hands of your administration.

Ask the people of this Nation who they would call a hero, Scooter Libby whom you released immediately or Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who are still locked up in prison. I guess if you’re not a Washington insider it just doesn’t count.

America it’s our fight now, we have do everything in our power to get these men released. They were doing their job trying to protect us when they were caught up in some insider event that I believe had nothing to do with what actually happened. The politics involved in this goes much deeper than just the wounding of a known drug smuggler. Cops shoot it out and wound drug dealers all the time and nothing ever is said about it, why then is this injustice still going on?

And that’s my Opinion,
Don
