This was forwarded to me from a old friend. It is a sad state of affairs when men are prosicuted for doing their job by the government that employs them

Suzie,

I am outraged!

Two U.S. Border Patrol Agents -- Ignacio Ramos (a former
nominee for border patrol agent of the Year), and Jose
Compean -- have been found guilty and face prison terms
of upwards of 20 years for doing their jobs in apprehending
an illegal alien at our border.

Even more outrageous, this illegal alien is now suing
the U.S. for $5 million for violating his civil rights!

petition calling on President Bush to pardon these
two officers:

Suzie, as I read this report, I became more and more
incensed. These agents were doing their job and our government
is prosecuting them! Even worse -- the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security actually tracked down the illegal alien
and gave him immunity to testify against our agents!

Did I mention that this illegal alien was smuggling 800
pounds of marijuana into our country?

This is a travesty of justice, and I'm not willing to sit
idly by.

That's why we’ve launched this national petition to rally
100,000 citizens who are demanding the President pardon
agents Ramos and Compean.

In fact, when you sign the petition, Grassfire will
electronically deliver your petition directly to the
White House. Click here to sign:

I also want to include your personal comment on this
travesty in your petition to the President.

But we must hurry. Sentencing for these two agents is
scheduled for August 22, and I want to make certain at
least 100,000 petitions and personal comments flood the
White House before then.

Thanks for taking immediate action with me.
