Who has proven himself the biggest jerk in history...  (the most corrupt too)?  I guess when you have to protect your drug-running buddies, you can't let a couple of law enforcement officers get in the way, huh?

View This E-mail As A Web Page   John Allen Aregood was convicted of conspiring to transport and harbor illegal aliens.      President Bush pardoned him just days ago. And what about former Border Agents Ignacio Compean and Jose Compean who, according to Congress Tom Tancredo and so many others, were sent to prison for "doing their jobs?"      NOTHING! Not a word! In total, President Bush - just weeks after issuing 14 pardons - bestowed his good graces on YET ANOTHER 20 individuals.       Here's a partial list of the 19 pardons (courtesy of the Associated Press): William Alvis III of Flushing, Ohio. Possession of an unregistered firearm and cocaine distribution. Eric Charles Blanke of Parker, Colo. Counterfeiting. Steve Doyle Cavender of The Villages, Fla. Conspiring to import, possess, distribute and dispense marijuana. Marie Elena Eppens of Lynden, Wash. Conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute marijuana. Eduviges Duvi Gonzalez-Matsumura of Clovis, Calif. Aiding and abetting embezzlement of bank funds. President Bush also commuted the prison sentence of Reed Raymond Prior who was convicted of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and sentenced in 1996 to life in prison.                    a trafficker of illegal aliens                    drug pushers                    embezzlers Were these people more deserving of a pardon than two American heroes who put their lives on the line every single day to protect our border?        And what happened to  "compassionate conservatism?" With days to go before he leaves office, time is running out for President Bush to do the right thing, answer those questions and release these brave American heroes from prison!

Tell them that the railroading of Ramos and Compean is a gross miscarriage of justice and perhaps one of the most cynical misuses of power in our nation's recent history. Tell them that their continued imprisonment demeans the American people and our government. Tell them that these brave American heroes are owed apologies for the injustice they have suffered and that this horrible wrong can be righted only if the President pardons these men or commutes their sentences. http://www.cfiflistmanager.org/releasecompeanandramosivbe.html AOL Members May Also Use This Hyperlink If the above hyperlinks do not work, please copy and paste the first hyperlink into your browser address bar. Only A Matter Of Days Until It Is All Over... It is highly doubtful that Barack Obama will champion the cause of these wrongfully and vindictively prosecuted American heroes.         What does that mean? It means that if President Bush fails to act soon, these brave men are destined to spend a DECADE behind bars... NO TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR... NO CHANCE OF PAROLE. Some might say that Compean and Ramos were prosecuted to appease a foreign government. Others might even say they were offered as sacrificial lambs to advance a political agenda. Still others might say that it was just a horrible miscarriage of justice. Assuming that any one (or any combination) of these opinions is true: The foreign government, that some would say their prosecution was intended to appease, has long since forgotten about them. The political agenda that some would say their imprisonment was meant to advance - namely amnesty - was defeated (in fact you helped defeat it)! And the freakish miscarriage of justice has simply gone on too long. No matter which option you choose, the only reason NOW not to pardon the brave Border Agents or at least commute their sentences is hard-hearted vindictiveness.         THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE REASON NOT TO RELEASE COMPEAN AND RAMOS!         And THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!         You've heard a great deal about Compean and Ramos recently. You may have sent Blast Faxes and made phone calls to our elected officials - PERHAPS MULTIPLE TIMES - on their behalf.         We're asking you to do it AGAIN... AND AGAIN... AND AGAIN ... if needed! Because once President Bush leaves office, their time may be up. Over the past several years we've won our share of battles and we've lost some battles too. But, out of them all, this is one fight that we simply cannot lose!         At the very least we must fight to the very last minute!

Harsh Words For The Administration...         Congressman Dana Rohrabacher: The fact that the president has neglected to free these men from their imprisonment while freeing drug dealers, embezzlers and other criminals is insulting to the American people.         According to Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum: "The end of President Bush's final term is quickly approaching... we cannot let him leave office without resolving one very important issue: he must commute the prison sentences of convicted U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean!"        Others were not as polite. Conservative columnist Doug Patton called this travesty "a stench in the nostrils of every thinking American who loves justice."         Patton adds: "But I will lose my last ounce of respect for this man as my president if he does not pardon Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean before he leaves office. These men put their lives on the line for us just as surely as our brave troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and justice demands a full presidential pardon."         You're already familiar with the case. Compean and Ramos were convicted almost solely on the word of a known illegal alien drug smuggler who claimed that Compean and Ramos shot him in the butt while he was attempting to escape. Incidentally, this smuggler was attempting to transport 743 pounds of marijuana into the United States at the time of the incident. In exchange for his testimony, the smuggler was granted immunity and allowed to come and go across the border almost at will and was actually caught attempting to transport more drugs into the United States while waiting to testify against Compean and Ramos. The court WOULD NOT allow this fact to be submitted during the trial. And, in what may be the greatest irony of this whole case, the smuggler was eventually convicted of the smuggling offenses that occurred AFTER he was granted immunity and was sentenced to LESS TIME than Compean and Ramos.         Patton again: "It also turns out that this low-life drug smuggler re-entered the United States at least 10 different times in 2005 and that he was caught smuggling drugs while he was waiting to testify against Ramos and Compean. These facts were not brought up at their trial."         Schlafly again: "The severity of these charges and the harshness of the punishment are totally disproportionate to the violation in question." "Even the illegal drug smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, was sentenced to less prison time than our fellow American border guards!"         Such irony is shameful!         Now is the time to demand justice!

Blindness, Baffling and Disappointing... The Washington Times also called President Bush's failure to act, "blindness."         The Times wrote the following in a recent editorial: "It's both baffling and disappointing that President Bush has not already pardoned two U.S. Border Patrol agents imprisoned since 2007... Time is running out for Mr. Bush to act to correct what one Congressman [Rep. Dana Rohrabacher] calls 'the worst miscarriage of justice that I have witnessed in the 30 years I've been in Washington.'"         Congressman Tom Tancredo: "These are the kinds of men whose government failed and destroyed them - all while they were serving a cause greater than themselves. These men deserve justice. I, and many other members of Congress, have repeatedly called upon President Bush to exercise his power to pardon - but he has not done so.         Congressman Ed Royce stated: Ramos and Compean have been living in the torture of solitary confinement for almost two years for something they never should have been prosecuted for in the first place. We are pleading with the Pardon Attorney to make a favorable recommendation of commutation to the President so he can finally do the right thing by these men and their families."         Blogger Andrew T. Durham claims the case "stinks to high Heaven" and wrote: "It is literally a crime that apparently President Bush is not granting pardons to immorally imprisoned border [patrol] agents Ramos and Compean."         Now may be your last chance to make your voice heard! At the very least, this may be President Bush's last opportunity to listen!         The time to release Compean and Ramos is NOW!
