Political Prisoners: 1000 People for the Cuban Five.

From our friends at the Jericho Movement and with the Pro Libertad Campaign. Whatever you think of the Cuban 5 (I think they were trying to protect the Cuban public from extremist violence by US groups, myself, and the FBI should have been investigating the group they infiltrated, not arresting them), they aren't even calling for their realase at this point - they're trying to get visas for their families because they've been isolated from them for so long. Surely of all the people who drop in here, some of you can hit this petition for us. If you have facebook or something, consider setting up a link for your friends to hit too. You can find more info about these guys at their website, or Google for something more "objective". I've read enough documents and analyses myself to stand in solidarity with them.



Thanks.

SIGN THIS PETITION AND FORWARD OUT THIS MESSAGE WORLDWIDE!

 

OUR GOAL IS TO REACH 1000 SIGNATURES BY INTERNATIONAL WORKING WOMEN'S DAY (Monday March 8, 2010)!

Once we reach our goal we will mail, email and fax the petition to President Obama's office!

 

The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5 has drafted a petition asking President Obama to grant Visas to the families of the Cuban 5.

 

As we enter this new year, we feel now is a good time to bring up the US government’s continual denial of visas for the Cuban 5 families; which has kept both Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez from seeing their wives for the past eleven years.

 

If President Obama is really pro-family and wants to improve the reputation of the United States, as a "beacon of justice and democracy", then we need to demand he end this horrible separation of families and this psychological torture.

 

Please sign this petition and forward this link to all your friend and families.  HELP US MAKE OUR GOAL! 

1000 PEOPLE FOR THE CUBAN 5!

PROTEST THE DAY OF THE  RE-SENTENCING OF THE CUBAN 5!
Tuesday October 13th, 2009 at 5pm
Picket at 26 Federal Plaza
Take the 4, 5, 6, J,M, Z To Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Stop

On June 15th, The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case of Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio, Fernando and René, known as the Cuban 5. Yet another insult on the part of Made in USA-justice. Despite the worldwide clamor in favor of the freedom of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters, this country’s highest judicial body turned a “deaf ear” and thus the Cuban 5 remain U.S. held Political Prisoners!

Last year, a federal appeals court ordered new sentences for Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, and Antonio Guerrero. Labañino and Guerrero had been serving life terms, and Gonzalez was sentenced to 19 years. U.S. District  Judge Lenard, who unjustly sentenced them before, will be re-sentencing them on Tuesday October 13th in Miami, Florida.

These brothers should not be re-sentenced they should be freed!  There was no evidence provided to convict the Cuban 5 of conspiracy to commit espionage! They are not spies! Their only crime was fighting against terrorism in Cuba and the U.S.A.!

Join us as we demand the freedom of the Cuban 5!
