Team, I received an incredible email from Monica Ramos, wife of imprisoned border agent Ignacio Ramos that you simply must read.

But I need you to do me a favor. After reading her email to me, please send it to EVERYONE you know, and urge them to add their names to our “Pardon the Border Agents” petition by clicking here:

Dear Grassfire,

Thank you very much for all your help. I wish I could have met you and Steve yesterday in DC. My time there was very productive and full of information. I do want to speak to all of your team about my husband.

He is VERY grateful for all that you and your team have done and continue to do on his and Jose’s behalf. I will have the opportunity to see him tomorrow for about an hour to share my experiences in Washington. So much is going on, and the momentum continues to build. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS DIE!!!

Both of our families are suffering tremendously from the void of our spouses and the children are the innocent ones here. They simply cannot grasp what has happened to their fathers. My children are anxious to see their daddy, but I am hesitant to take them because words cannot adequately prepare them for what they will see. … him shackled--like a hardcore criminal. It is sickening, Ron.

Again, I am so grateful for the money that was sent. It has been a great blessing to help him maintain in prison. Commissary is not cheap. Snacks, phone cards, and paper to write the children is costly. Thank you, and thank you Grassfire team members.
Your support is a godsend to us, and WE ARE ALL SO APPRECIATIVE. Please continue fighting for my husband. He is a good and honorable man.

Thank you again.

Monica Ramos

Team, please take a few moments to either add your name to our petition --if you haven't already done so, and then most importantly, send her heartfelt email to your friends and family--urging them to join in support of agents Ramos and Compean by adding their name to our petition.Thank you.
