Independence Day… Not for Ramos and Compean

Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

The Fourth of July is perhaps our nation’s brightest day–
highlighted by parades, and fireworks in cities and towns
from coast-to-coast.

But Independence Day hasn’t come for Border Agents Nacho Ramos
and Jose Compean, who are both still awaiting the decision on
their appeals heard back in December.

I decided to write this update after one of our Grassfire staffers
told me that she’s been keeping the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit webpage open on her computer since Ramos and
Compean’s December appeal.

“I check it every day,” she said. “It’s my little way of remembering
them, and keeping them in my thoughts.”

I like that idea so much I’m encouraging everyone on our team
to do the same. Here’s the link:

Robert and Carolyn, I’m also asking everyone to send these two men
an inspirational letter, poem, or card–just letting them know
that you are thinking of them and their families.

Together, let’s make certain July 4, isn’t just day 535 for Ramos
and Compean. While it is another day without family and freedom,
we can make it a day filled with friends!
