Ignacio Ramos transferred, new address below

“Americans have been waiting for months for the president to right this wrong, and I am not gong to wait any longer,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo in a press release. “It’s time that Congress took matters into its own hands.”

Tomorrow, Tancredo plans to attach an amendment to H.R. 3093, the Appropriations bill for the Departments of Commerce, Justice and Science, stating that no funds appropriated in the bill may be used to carry out the decade long prison sentences imposed on Ramos and Compean.

According to WorldNet Daily’s Jerome Corsi, Tancredo’s amendment is grounded in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress absolute authority over spending matters.

Carlos Espinosa, a spokesman for Tancredo acknowledged that the move is unconventional, but added, that the amendment’s aim is to affect an immediate “congressional commutation of sentence” by withholding the funds needed to keep the two agents in federal prison.

Since the Senate Judiciary hearing last week, pressure from lawmakers on Capitol Hill to free Ramos and Compean has intensified--no doubt fueled by grassroots Americans who are lobbying via faxes, and phones for their lawmakers to get involved.

As I wrote in my last update to you, this is undoubtedly our best chance to right this wrong and return these men to their families where they belong …

            So if you haven’t yet scheduled your personalized
            faxes to key leaders--including the President, I urge
            you to do so right now by clicking here.

            If you haven’t alerted your family and friends about
            the plight of Ramos and Compean, and what you are
            doing to help free them, forward this message to 20-30
            of them right now and encourage them to sign our petition
            by clicking here.

Grassroots Americans are making an impact on this case, and I believe continued, unrelenting pressure will win them their freedom. But I need your help.

Finally, I wrote that Nacho Ramos was transferred to a Phoenix prison--just six hours from his home in El Paso, last week.

What I didn’t mention was that officials didn’t transfer Nacho’s magazines, cards, clippings, and other reading materials. That’s why I’m urging ALL members of our team to take a moment to send Nacho some new reading material (he loves motorcycles), inspirational cards, notes and letters of encouragement.

His new address is:

Ignacio Ramos #58079-180
FCI Phoenix
Federal Correctional Institution
37910 N. 45TH Avenue
Phoenix, AZ  85086
 
Thank you so much for your efforts with us to free Agents Ramos and Compean. With your continued support and committed action, I am confident we will celebrate together their freedom and safe return to their families.

Steve Elliott
President
