Christmas Message from Don Siegelman to ALL of US - Thanks for Pushing his Plight
Edited on Tue Dec-18-07 08:07 PM by symbolman
Sent Via Mark Crispin Miller's NewsfromUnderground/Googlegroups


"Merry Christmas to all of you, with heartfelt gratitude for your support.

Please enjoy this meaningful holiday season and appreciate your freedom, your homes, and your loved ones. I look forward to cherishing these precious gifts, more than ever, in the coming year. With continued hard work, I believe this Christmas will be my only one within these walls. Despite the grim conditions here, I will celebrate this special day by keeping my faith, and by maintaining the hope that, with your help, we can move Congress to expand their investigation and restore American justice -- our once bright beacon in the free world. I cannot thank you enough, or ask more emphatically that you continue and intensify your extremely important efforts. May the many blessings of this season bring joy to each of you."

1. Sounds like another political prisoner


no where near as long but for the same reason .... fear real fear of what "they" might
say.

14. his daughter said that the prisoners in that prison
cannot have unmonitored email ... so whatever you write, remember that this information will likely be seen by those very interested on the other side of the case. just fyi.

9. Thank Mark Crispin Miller
Edited on Tue Dec-18-07 08:21 PM by symbolman
he seems to be the Point guy on this, and a great one too :)

But we may have more footage to push all over the web if given the chance, and his site is the way to do it, though there are a lot of helpful people here that should feel GREAT that they've affected Don Siegleman so deeply, especially during a Holiday like this, to be locked down, that's the WORST.

15. Just FYI
I just confirmed that he cannot get emails and mail directly. The emails are printed out for him by his family who deliver them to him when visiting him. He has no access directly. Just fyi.

16. A book that helped me a lot there was this one
Found at the Human Kindness Foundation, who have formed a Prison Ashram since the 70's - sounds like it could be flaky new age, but it's not, they've turned thousands of prisoners around..

http://www.humankindness.org

Link to the book, "We're All Doing Time"

I would suggest that this is one book that EVERYONE should read, one of the essentials in life, don't have to be a prisoner to get a LOT out of it..

http://www.humankindness.org/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HKFC&Product_Code=BWA&Category_Code=BB


If I can send him one I will, have to check on it, but I'm VERY Sure it's one of the many books allowed in all Prisons.

Hey, maybe we can get a collection together and send his family a hundred thousand roses, like for Helen Thomas.. wouldn't that be killer? Who did that, was it Hissyspit?

Thanks Lala!
