From the Desk of:

Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

9/10/2008

This week, many of our nation's top conservative voices and organizations are in our nation’s Capitol pressing their concerns about illegal immigration, and demanding former U.S. Border agents Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean are set free.

Following the crushing ruling from the Fifth Circuit earlier this year, I believe right now is our best opportunity to free Ramos and Compean...

But how you and I respond over the remainder of the President's term in office may well determine if they are set free, or continue to languish in solitary confinement.

++ "Mr. President, Pardon the Agents!"

Plans to appeal their case to the U.S. Supreme Court are at best a long shot. Even if the High Court does agree to hear the case it could be months--perhaps years...

These men need to be returned to their wives and children--while they are still children!

         Between now and the end of the President's term, I want to "full court press" him with tens of thousands of faxes, phone calls and petitions like he's never seen--each demanding he pardon Agents Ramos and Compean.

It's no secret that every President pardons political cronies and others who run afoul of the law before leaving office. We just need to impress upon him that Ramos and Compean must be atop his pardoning list!

Sadly, that's the only real, remaining hope for Ramos and Compean, and I'm counting on our team to once again lead the charge and end the long-suffering of Ramos, Compean and their young families.

         key officials--including your two South Dakota Senators and

As always, if you prefer, please send the faxes on your own-- but do send them.

We have a short window to impress upon the President the need to do the right thing regarding Ramos and Compean, and we MUST make a profound and resonating statement.

Our FaxFire service is ideally set up for your convenience. But even if you send faxes on your own you can easily access the contact information and sample fax text by clicking here:

Again, this is probably our last, best opportunity to free Ramos and Compean, and I NEED you to take action with me.

On behalf of the Ramos and Compean families, thanks for standing with Grassfire.

Steve
