We Need A Fence!

The Associated Press is reporting that President Bush is
open to the possibility of a pardon for border agents,
saying "there's a process for pardons." He added that
the White House will review the case.

Although agents Compean and Ramos are serving
their sentences, this is a grassroots victory.

This was the first time the President publicly spoke on
this case, and I believe it was due to intense growing
pressure from Grassfire team members!

+ + 265,000 and Growing

During the DC press event last week, Ron De Jong and I presented
225,000 petitions--the same petitions that Rep. Poe delivered
to the White House the day before Ramos and Compean surrendered
to U.S. Marshals.

In days we've added more than 40,000 citizen signatures!
Keep rallying friends because it is making an impact.

Ron and I have also been interviewed by numerous media outlets,
and in fact, many radio stations around the country are picking
up the banner for Ramos and Compean and steering their listeners
to our petition, and urging them to contact the White House!
