I felt compelled to write my representative from PA.
Mr ,
I feel compelled as a veteran and a patriotic American, as well as a supporter of the Republican Party and President Bush to express my concerns with the detention of two fellow patriotic Americans. I believe the members of congress have a duty and responsibility to address the issue of the two border patrol agents being unjustly imprisoned for doing their duty for the citizens of this country. It is a major setback, in my opinion, in the debate over controlling and patrolling our borders. I was tasked in the Navy after the first Gulf war as a member of our boarding party to intercept contraband arms entering in the Iraq Theater. I shudder to think of what may have happened if I was pressed to do my duty as these brave men were pressed to do theirs. Would I have (in a state of panic) not preserved the scene, would I have been sure that in a split second that I made the appropriate decision, would it have been life or death for me or my fellow sailors, and above all else, would my country that I love and had sworn to protect stand beside me for making the split second decisions that I had made. Several years ago I thought I knew the answers to those questions, but under the current circumstances I have questions about the moral direction this country is headed. None of us know what we would have done in the situation that these two brave officers were faced with. I know that if I were faced with making that same decision for my country that I would have. When I was in the service you supported me and my family on different situations when they arose and for that I was and still am very grateful. I believe that pressure needs to be place on the President to pardon these men. I am a supporter of the President and his willingness and courage to stand beside his beliefs but on this issue he is entirely wrong. The border patrol agents are every bit as important as our military service members overseas and at home. Do we show the Mexico and Canada that we as a country have the resolve to secure our borders or are we going to keep making scape goats out of those sworn to protect us. Instead of non binding resolutions that show the terrorists that we are not willing as a governing body to stand behind the commander and chief, why not discuss a resolution that supports the two border agents and put pressure on the President to pardon them. This one issue may determine for me how serious this government is in protecting us and how myself and millions of conservatives vote in the future.
Very Respectfully

I am praying for you and your family. Most importantly I pray that Bush does what is right and pardons these men.
Mrs. Ramos, from experience I know that your calls, pleads, and letters will not be taken seriously unless an attorney does it on your behalf. Fortunately you won't have to pay enormous legal fees to have the largest legal corporation in the world and member of the New York Stock Exchange to make phone calls, and write letters on your behalf. People, even politicians and government officials take calls and letter from attorneys seriously and pay attention to them. Put teeth behind your demands, become a member of prepaidlegal ASAP http://www.prepaidlegal.com/go/pdurruthy
The two things that REALLY riled me about the trial of Ramos and Compean are: 1. that VITAL evidence FAVORABLE to them was INTENTIONALLY omitted. 2. that their prosecuting attorney, Johnny Sutton, is now UNDER suspicion for allegedly trying to HIDE the CRIME of the detestable illegal alien Mexican drug smuggler when he was CAUGHT at OUR border a SECOND time in October 2005 with an EVEN LARGER load of marijuana than he had when confronted by Ramos and Compean only EIGHT months EARLIER! The whole Ramos-Compean trial was a TOTAL farce! There was NOTHING fair or logical about it! Ramos and Compean were simply RAILROADED through a KANGAROO court! One of the MOST egregious travesties of justice EVER!
What happened to my beloved country.
a drug dealer is out, and the people who risk their lives everyday are imprisoned....i am ashamed of my goverment, and this administration, and i Voted for them...forgive me Agent Ramos...
you are the very reason i am safe at my home tonight, and my thought and prayers are for you and family...
I am sending a check in the mail today (2-17-07) and I assume I simply write "Ramos Family Fund" on the payee?
Also, I wish to donate my professional services to assist in this delima, the details will be outlined in my letter.
As a Vietnam Veteran (I joined the Army shortly after graduation from Eastwood in 1970) I am very disturbed that Ignacio (a man who wore also wore a uniform in service to this country) has been abused and incarcerated for being a hero.

We voted for President Bush, however this injustice to our much deserved border patrol agents is horrific. This goes to prove that Bush is definitely on the wrong side of the people who are trying to do what is right for their country. It makes no difference what nationality a person is, it's what they do for their country that matters. There is good and bad in all nationalities. Free these two fine men now!
God Bless you. I'll send some help when I can. I have been calling and writing to my representative.
I am so angry at Bush, DHS, Sutton and the whole lot of them. Angry and disgusted. Impeach him before he does more damage.
Sutton and Aldrete-Davila are the ones who deserve to be in prison. (Maybe sutton can be thrown in with the mexican mafia and get the shit beat out of him since he seems to think that sort of think is OK) Bush is making this country into Mexico's bitch.
... Joe, Faith is really the only thing one can believe in, and as long as You, your Family and the Ramos and Compean Families KNOW that Justice will prevail, will there truly be a Day of Redemption for all!
... It is sad that given the fact so many MAJOR CRIMINALS in our legal system are granted THEIR CIVIL RIGHT to be FREE ON APPEAL, here in this case two Oath-taking United States of America Law Enforcement (BP) Agents cannot be made privileged to the very rights given to that (Free due to Immunity) individual who did not even consider being in our country ... legally, and the known subject of doing illegal acts of drug smuggling.
... Joe, all will come out in the "wash" and it will all be worthwhile. I shall keep praying for You and Your Families to see the New Day ... soon!

I'm trying to get people to send books to Ignacio Ramos, a chapter at a time, included in letters to him. If enough people participate, he can get all the reading material he wants in spite of the sadistic officials at Yazoo. Check out the detials at http://jacklewis.net/weblog/archives/2007/04/ramoscampeon_ca.php
The main problem with these pro-illegal folks is that they seem unable or unwilling to accept the fact that WITHOUT BORDERS, you CANNOT have a COUNTRY! I am only ONE of COUNTLESS millions of American citizens who do NOT want THIS to happen to OUR country! THIS is WHY Ignacio Ramos, Jose Compean, and Gilmer Hernandez are in PRISON--for DEFENDING the RIGHT of OUR country to exist as a SEPARATE, SOVEREIGN state, NOT as part of any OTHER nation!
I have just read Mr. Loya's letter to Congress. This WHOLE affair simply STINKS! I find it especially galling that the US Army physician who REMOVED the bullet fragment from the drug runner was FLATLY dismissed by the prosecution because he was telling the court NOT what the prosecution WANTED to be said, but what NEEDED to be said--the TRUTH!
DON'T give up, Mr. Loya, Monica, family and friends! I STRONGLY believe that "Nacho" Ramos and his friend Jose Compean are INNOCENT and are being UNFAIRLY and IRRATIONALLY penalized for DOING their duty! They are BOTH GOOD MEN, and I feel DEEPLY that God WANTS them OUT of prison and they WILL get there!
i have now come close to losing hope that our country, once strong and proud, is no longer the greatest country. There is no pride in government, no moral understanding with our politicians. It doesn't take a lawyer to see the injustice that these two men have faced and continue to face. Our only hope with your case is that the next president pardons you both. Unfortunately, that is not for some time. Be well. Stay strong
A PRISON sentence of OVER FOUR-thousand DAYS?! Incredible! And, in the case of two GOOD men like Ramos and Compean--UNCONSCIONABLE!
Just sent the letter to our senator! Fingers crossed for July 17TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I completly oppose this miscarriage of justice.
My best wishes to the families!

President Bush NEEDS to WAKE up and SMELL the coffee when it comes to his friend US Attorney Johnny Sutton. Sometimes friendship can BLIND one when it comes to being objective about a buddy's misconduct!
Posted 7/27/07: Ignacio was moved to a Phoenix prison:
Ignacio Ramos #58079-180
FCI Phoenix
Federal Correctional Institution
37910 N. 45th Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85086
I'm sick as hell over this and I will do whatever I can to help.
Writing, calling, shouting and whatever else.
Urgent: Two MORE Border Patrol Agents (and their families and friends) in GREAT need of OUR support and prayers:
Arizona BP Agent Nicholas Corbett:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57113
A still-unidentified Texas Border Patrol Agent near El Paso, Texas:
http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?p=4433
Like TOO many good American lawmen, these BP Agents simply had NO choice! The circumstances of their situations were SO extreme that they had NO OTHER option BUT self-defense! Predictably and disingenuosly, Mexico is SCREAMING bloody MURDER at OUR country for the violent end two of HER illegals encountered in these tragic incidents! All I can tell Mexico is--LOOK in the MIRROR! If YOU took BETTER care of YOUR OWN people, tragedies like THESE would NOT be SO likely to happen!
Things have NOT been going well for EITHER Arizona Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett OR the still-unidentified El Paso, TX, Border Patrol Agent so they need OUR support and prayers MORE than EVER!
Arizona BP Agent Nicholas Corbett:
"Border Agent Pleads Not Guilty in Slaying"
http://www.examiner.com/a-891205~Border_Agent_Pleads_Not_Guilty_in_Slaying.html (as far as is known, Mexico is STILL allegedly withholding THREE vital witnesses who could EXONERATE Corbett! And as LONG as THIS aberration exists, Corbett could NOT be ASSURED of JUSTICE! NO trial UNLESS and UNTIL those three witnesses favorable to Corbett are ABLE to TESTIFY in HIS behalf! Corbett NEEDS our prayers BIGTIME!)
Still-unidentified El Paso, TX, Border Patrol Agent:
"Witness claims wrong person shot at border, lawyer says"
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5081640.html (this case has been turned over for review to NONE other than the VERY same prosecutor who canned NACHO RAMOS, JOSE COMPEAN, and GILMER HERNANDEZ--US ATTORNEY JOHNNY SUTTON! God FORBID if this avid court-room addict EVER legally SHREDS yet ANOTHER of our fine BP Agents! THIS one ALSO needs our prayers BIGTIME!)
"Family of man killed by Border Patrol Agent might sue"
http://elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_6711808 (this family's deceased member was attempting ILLEGAL entry into OUR country, so WHAT on earth gives THEM ANY right to SUE our govenrment?! BIGTIME prayers needed for THIS one, too!)
Again, I remind Mexico to LOOK in the MIRROR!

Texas Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos, Jose Compean, Noe Aleman, Texas Police Officer Gilmer Hernandez, Arizona Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett, and the still-unidentified August 8, 2007, El Paso, Texas, Border Patrol Agent: We SALUTE you!
MORE problems for Arizona Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett. It seems that Mexico is STILL allegedly withholding three EXCULPATORY witnesses who could EXONERATE him! NO trial, NO legal or judicial proceedings on Corbett's case UNLESS and UNTIL THIS moral outrage is SETTLED!
I have e-mailed President Bush and phoned in on his commentary line for the RELEASE of Ramos and Compean SO often it hurts! Undoubtedly LOTS of other American patriots are doing LIKEWISE! Sometimes it seems as if all our efforts to free these two good men are IN VAIN. Yet, even in the midst of such seemingly impenetrable darkness, I STILL have hope. Because Ramos and Compean are INNOCENT, GOD will free them!
Recently I heard that when Nacho is in his 12-foot exercise cage during his free hour, some nasty illegal alien inmates DERIDE him! My heart ached! Isn't it BAD enough to be UNJUSTLY deprived of freedom?! Is it NECESSARY for these BOORISH brutes to TAUNT poor Nacho?! This just makes me want to CRY! Pardon me, I AM!
Yes, I MUST be...and REMAIN TRUE to NACHO RAMOS and JOSE COMPEAN...for THEY are my FELLOW Americans...who are UNJUSTLY imprisoned...for DOING their job...as AMERICAN law-enforcement officers...SERVING our beloved country...by PROTECTING US, their FELLOW citizens, from CRIME...from MURDER, MAYHEM, and MADNESS perpetrated by sinister NATIVE and FOREIGN agents ALIKE...and although they were FALSELY accused, tried, convicted, and imprisoned...Nacho and Jose are GREATLY honored by their fellow American patriots for their NOBLE sacrifice for ALL of us...and, as their fellow American MYSELF...it is MY duty to SHOW DUE deference and DEEP appreciation to these PERSECUTED patriots...by PUBLICLY SPEAKING OUT in their defense...by OPENLY WITNESSING to their innocence...by UNRESERVEDLY UPHOLDING their good reputation against ANY and ALL defamation and derision...by TELLING my fellow Americans and fellow world citizens the REAL truth about this UNSPEAKABLE travesty of justice against them, their families, friends, and the REST of US--indeed, against OUR beloved country and the WHOLE world...and by URGING my fellow Americans and fellow world citizens not just to HEAR God's message on Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean, but to ACT on it...by PRAYING for them...by SAYING and DOING ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that they POSSIBLY can...to help SPREAD the WORD...to ARDENTLY ADVOCATE for and DOGGEDLY DEFEND these two great UNJUSTLY bound heroes...and to NEVER REST until the moment they are FREED FOREVER!...Oh Lord, may I ALWAYS remember Nacho and Jose in my PRAYERS...may I EVER dearly LOVE them as my BROTHER Christians and FELLOW Americans...and DEEPLY VALUE the AWESOME sacrifice they make EVERY moment BEHIND bars for my fellow Americans...and for ME!...because Nacho and Jose CHOOSE to be TRUE to THEMSELVES as AMERICANS...and in SO doing...they remain true to their FAMILIES and FRIENDS, to their FELLOW Americans, and to YOU, Lord...Oh God, grant that I, TOO, may FOLLOW their gallant example...and be true to MYSELF as an AMERICAN...NO matter WHAT the price...and thus ALSO remain true to MY family and friends, to MY fellow Americans, and to YOU...For, in the FINAL analysis...I must remain true to my unjustly persecuted fellow American patriots Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean...REGARDLESS of the cost...even if it costs me my OWN LIFE...in order to remain true to GOD!
(I HAVEN'T told ANYONE about THIS until NOW!) Last Saturday, a Mexican acquaintance who has seen me publicly protest for Ramos and Compean in Dallas, TX, warned me that some NASTY people who HATE the two persecuted patriots are LOOKING for ME! He said that they detest ANYONE who takes the side of Ramos and Compean and told me to WATCH OUT! (please KEEP me in YOUR prayers! Ramos and Compean NEED and DESERVE their FELLOW Americans to SPEAK OUT for them! And I CANNOT let ANYONE SILENCE me as LONG as Ramos and Compean remain UNJUSTLY imprisoned! I am NOT publicly protesting for them as a FAVOR! I am doing this because Ramos and Compean DESERVE it! I OWE them BIGTIME for BRAVELY SERVING and PROTECTING my FELLOW Americans and ME! The NOBLE sacrifice they NOW make EVERY moment BEHIND bars for us ALL is PRICELESS! I am FOREVER beholden to Ramos and Compean for their GENEROSITY and COURAGE!)
So far, NOTHING has happened to me since the warning last Saturday. But, if it turns out that I MUST DIE in DEFENSE of these two HONORABLE and FALSELY IMPRISONED American patriots, then SO BE IT!
URGENT!!! Please PRAY for Arizona Border Patrol Agent NICHOLAS CORBETT, whose trial ended yesterday with a DEADLOCKED JURY!!! The judge DIDN'T ACCEPT THAT!!! He SENT the jury BACK and told them to REDOUBLE their efforts to reach a VERDICT!!!
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5judY3fQUngYd_KP0LeQsIFhZcaTAD8V84P405
Well, the ONLY JUST verdict for BP Agent Corbett is ACQUITTAL! Corbett was DOING his DUTY as an AMERICAN lawman when an ILLEGAL alien Mexican he was trying to arrest THREATENED to SMASH Corbett's HEAD with a FIVE-POUND ROCK! In such an EXTREME situation, Corbett had NO choice but SELF-DEFENSE! Corbett did NOT KILL out of PREMEDITATED malice, he killed to SAVE his OWN LIFE! Corbett does NOT DESERVE to be CONVICTED of SECOND-degree MURDER NOR SENTENCED to LIFE in PRISON! Corbett is a GOOD man and a FINE BP Agent and MUST be EXONERATED! And he NEEDS OUR PRAYERS for this MUCH-NEEDED MIRACLE!
For awhile now, there has been speculation that Arizona Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett, whose UNJUST trial for SECOND-degree murder in his SELF-defense killing of a ROCK-wielding ILLEGAL alien ended in a TWICE-DEADLOCKED jury last month, may HAVE to face ANOTHER trial for the SAME charge on APRIL 22, 2008, or some LATER date! NO SECOND trial for the SAME charge for Corbett! HE, his FAMILY and FRIENDS and WE his FELLOW Americans, have been put through MORE than ENOUGH already!
Monica....havent heard from you in awhile...imagine you are quite busy....hope all is well. We are still dispersing flyers with all the email addresses, prison addresses, and this website address to keep the awareness up out here in Phoenix.
Stay Strong!
Shoop and Dave
Dear Mr. Loya and family: Today the slow but STEADY stream of responses IN FAVOR of Ramos and Compean has reached ANOTHER milestone--it has PASSED 600! And the affirmatives KEEP RIGHT on COMING!
As a MOTHER, I am getting INCREASINGLY concerned...because, on April 23-24, 2008, Mexican President Felipe Calderon is COMING to MY daughter's hometown of DALLAS, TX...where she has been PUBLICLY protesting for Ramos and Compean for NINE months now...she told me she and some of her fellow patriots plan to PROTEST Calderon BIGTIME as he MEETS with resident Mexican ILLEGALS and PRO-illegal Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert...as her mother, I fear that some of the illegals may SEE my daughter and her friends and CONFRONT them in some way, perhaps even VIOLENTLY...I hear the illegals can be pretty NASTY...my daughter TURNS 53 NEXT week on Tuesday, April 29...and I WANT her to SEE ANOTHER birthday...my precious patriot girl and her friends are in my PRAYERS...PLEASE keep them in YOURS, too...sure would APPRECIATE it!
...yes, Mom...your little patriot girl DID live to see ANOTHER birthday...THANK you, Mom...for TEACHING me...that being a GOOD Christian...requires TRUE patriotism...when I revealed this to Mr. Loya...he warmly REAFFIRMED your TIMELESS wisdom...and told me he believes that I am a GREAT American...because MY MOTHER is one...and you MOST certainly ARE, MOM...God BLESS you!
Dear Mr. Loya and family...yet ANOTHER significant MILESTONE in the Dallas, TX, protests for Ramos and Compean--today, after nearly TEN months of protest, the number of responses IN FAVOR of the agents has PASSED 700!
hang in there im a fellow bro
in blue i will call congress
to helpyou i work around elisa
cummings naborhood i will contact
him to listen to yourcase
stay tough heros. lt. anonymos
Dear Mr. Loya and family, here's MORE good news! Yesterday, after nearly a YEAR of PUBLIC protest for Ramos and Compean in Dallas, TX, the number of responses IN FAVOR of the agents PASSED 800!
BAD news for US Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett of Arizona: A friend from Arizona informed me yesterday that DESPITE the UNFAIRNESS and IRRATIONALITY of it all, Corbett is SCHEDULED for a SECOND trial because the FIRST one ended in a MISTRIAL with a TWICE-deadlocked jury! WHY on earth require a SECOND trial for a GOOD man who was only trying to DEFEND himself?! Because there is an EVIL conspiracy that is BOUND and DETERMINED to go to ANY length to CONVICT and CAN Corbett for LIFE, even though Corbett is INNOCENT! After ALL they have ALREADY been through, Corbett, his family and friends certainly do NOT deserve ANOTHER such ordeal, and NEED our prayers BIGTIME!
Dear Mr. Loya and family--MORE good news from the public protest campaign for Ramos and Compean in Dallas, TX--yesterday, after 14 MONTHS of protest, the number of responses IN FAVOR of the agents PASSED 900!
I don't understand the choice of GrassFire.org to only contact targets via fax. First of all, not everybody has $15 available for every cause they want to support. Second, faxing is becoming an outdated method of communication -- why aren't we sending email instead? I belong to many environmental lists and they are able to create a lot of change by flooding in-boxes with tons of email. Plus, it's so much easier to spread the message. It seems much more efficient and likely to evoke change if we were all able to send email to the targets free of charge. Then, any monies could be sent directly to the families. Does anybody know of a site that is trying to help via email instead of faxes??
In January 2007, US Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett of Arizona had to KILL a ROCK-wielding ILLEGAL alien in SELF-defense. In August 2007, Corbett was INDICTED for SECOND-degree MURDER in the illegal's death and was PUT on TRIAL last February but the jury DEADLOCKED TWICE and a MISTRIAL had to be declared. Apparently, Corbett's enemies were NOT satisfied with this ruling and SUCCEEDED in having Corbett brought to a SECOND trial for the SAME charge and it began on October 21, 2008. A good friend who attended Corbett's current trial emailed me a daily report of the proceedings. There were MANY things brought out in THIS trial, she disclosed, that had NOT been allowed admission to court in the FIRST one. My friend said that the BEST thing Corbett has going for him is that the coroner testified that the autopsy results line up with CORBETT'S account of the incident, NOT with that of the dead illegal's SURVIVING companions who testified against Corbett in his first trial and again in this one. The prosecution rested its case last Tuesday and the defense last Thursday morning and the case was delivered to the jury Thursday afternoon. Now our dear fellow patriot NEEDS and DESERVES our PRAYERS and SUPPORT so that the jury will give Corbett NOTHING LESS than an ACQUITTAL! God bless Corbett, his family and friends and may this ordeal end TRIUMPHANTLY for him, his family and friends, and for us SOON!
We really need to get President Bush to pardon these guys before he leaves office this year. I'm not sure about whether its a letter or a petition so whoever might know about these processes please let's get their families going on this now! These guys shouldn't be in prison for what they did and the so called victim has crossed the border illegally numerous times since that day with more drugs!
Stop the insanity!
Dear Mr. Loya and family: MORE good news on the protests for Ramos and Compean in Dallas, TX. Yesterday, the protests reached a MILENNIAL milestone as the number of responses IN FAVOR of the agents PASSED 1000!!!
Arizona US Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett has been put through TWO trials ALREADY for the SAME case! The FIRST trial ended in a MISTRIAL last March, and the SECOND ended in a mistrial just LAST WEEK. GOOD for Corbett, I thought, it's FINALLY OVER! Corbett can at last breathe easy with his family and friends and get on with his life again. Yet, today I found this news report stating that Corbett may have to face a THIRD trial for the SAME case! It made me SO mad I could't see straight!:
http:/kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=9306688&nav=menu216_3
AFTER ALL this poor BP Agent has been PUT through, this is the LAST straw! NO MORE legal or judicial harassment of Agent Corbett! NOT yesterday, NOT today, NOT tomorrow, NOT EVER!!!
Go to www.GOPUSA.com look on the right side : Mr. President pardon Ramos and Compean, click on it and you will get a page with plenty of updated talking points. You can use any or none.
I've been using this daily sometimes more than once to email president Bush.
For the last two weeks I've been trying to shame him into pardoning before Thanksgiving.
You think he feels shame ? Hmmm doubtful but worth a try.
That the affirmatives for Ramos and Compean keep RIGHT on COMING is yet ANOTHER sign that GOD is WITH them! Late last week, the positive response tally for the agents in Dallas, TX, reached the MIDPOINT millennial mark of 1050!
Dear Mr. Loya and family--Once again, the AYES for Ramos and Compean HAVE it! As of TODAY, after nearly 18 MONTHS of public advocacy in Dallas, TX, the number of responses FOR the agents PASSED 1100!
I'm sorry that your families have to deal with not having these men around, but I can not support your calls for a pardon given the fact that they shot an unarmed man in the buttocks while he was trying to flee. The only support you will find for trigger-happy border patrol agents are people who still think we are winning the drug war or racist, nationlist "patriots" who believe that any illegals deserve either a bullet or the butt of a gun. I can only hope that future border patrol agents will be as liable for their crimes as Ramos and Compean, as more and more of them seem to think of themselves above the law.
Praise God, Fox news just announced that the sentences were commuted.
Even if the drug smuggler had a gun, it gave the agents no right to fire on him. The reality is the smuggler was NOT a major player in a cartel, as anyone with an inkling of intelligence knows that cartel members do not smuggle the drugs, but hire poor illiterate people to do it for large sums of money or the possibility of staying in the united states. Ramos & Compean figured they were in the middle of the desert and nobody would catch them shooting innocent drug smugglers. But then again, people that beleive RAmos & Compean are innocent probably think Marijuana is a drug, while they drink alcohol in moderation, the biggest irony...
Please keep these savages behind bars..
CONGRATULATIONS RAMOS FAMILY. PROFOUND CONGRATULATIONS THAT YOU WILL SOON BE UNITED. Yes, we asked for a full pardon, but this is a good start. We are not finished.
he's coming home .. finally .. march 20 2009 .. thank you pres bush..
Agents Ramos and Compean, my prayers and thoughts have been with you since October 22, 2006 when you were sentenced. I was horrified at the time and really let down by our judicial system. I retired on October 31, 2006 after a career of over 22 years with the United States Border Patrol. I spent my entire career in San Diego Sector, but as you probably once felt we were all one and one for all and our blood ran green. After what happened to the both of you I lost faith in who stood behind us and realized how difficult it was going to be to continue to protect our borders from the criminals that we all confronted on a daily basis. I just heard what President Bush has done for you and it certainly is not enough. I do rally to the fact that you will be released and united with your families. I wish you both the very best in the future and remember the good things about the USBP. Always brothers in green.
While I was disappointed that President Bush did not grant Ramos & Compean a full pardon, I was so glad to hear he at least commuted their sentences. I would encourage the families to sell their story to Hollywood so at least they will have money to live on now that their careers are ruined by this awful injustice. God bless both the Ramos & Compean families!
I just listened to the Hedgecock interview with Nacho. The supreme court has denied their appeal, so now they must start over. AGAIN
What can we who support Jose & Nacho do now to help ?
Ramos and Compean may have tainted records in the WORLD'S estimation, but they REMAIN HONORABLE in the sight of GOD and their DEEPLY caring FELLOW Americans!
