Grassfire Interview with Tara Setmayer I have just concluded an absolutely compelling interview with Tara Setmayer, who serves as the Communications Director for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA). Tara has been an incredible help to Grassfire in our efforts to free Ramos and Compean, and was present at the recent Ramos and Compean appeal in New Orleans.
I wanted her to give you an "insider's" glimpse into the appeal, the case and what lies ahead for these two imprisoned Border Agents--who today (Tuesday) are spending their 328th day in solitary confinement! Listen to my interview with Tara:
Lawmakers want Ramos and Compean home for Christmas
We have just received an email from Rep. Rohrabacher who has joined with Rep. Delahunt (D-MA) and Rep. Reyes (D-TX) to introduce a resolution asking for the immediate commutation of Ramos and Compean's sentences.
"This obvious miscarriage of justice has always cried out for the attention of elected officials on both sides of the aisle," said Rohrabacher, "and it's gratifying to see there's a new wave of bi-partisan support for Ramos and Compean."
Order your "Free Ramos and Compean" yellow ribbons
Having the Judge Jolly, from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans state he believed the prosecution "overreacted", gives everyone new hope that Ramos and Compean will be reunited with their families--perhaps before Christmas!
Until Ramos and Compean are returned, I'm asking ALL members of our team to show their solidarity by ordering and displaying "Free Ramos and Compean" yellow ribbons on packages, doors, trees, windows, cars, clothing and more!
