From Pam Miles: Dear friends,
July 27th is the deadline for the decision on Governor Don Siegelman's motion for a new trial. Now is the true test of AG Eric Holder. Will he be on the side of the American people seeking truth and justice or will he be against us and on the side of Karl Rove and Bush League Justice? Please call AG Eric Holder and insist on the urgency of his decision for justice in the Don Siegelman case before the motion for a new trial deadline in 20 days. Demand the firing of US Attorney Leura Canary and her team of political prosecutors. Attorney General Eric Holder (202) 514-2001; fax: (202) 307-6777; E-mail: <mailto:ask...@usdoj.gov>ask...@usdoj.gov Marilyn Noyes's email to AG Holder: I know that "justice" is more than a buzzword for you, that you are sincerely concerned about the rights of the people of the United States. I am very encouraged by your advocacy for fairness in drug-sentencing laws, because many African-Americans in particular have been targeted unfairly and have thus been subjected to inordinate prison sentences. Don Siegelman is another great leader who has represented the true meaning of justice throughout his political career. Governor Siegelman needs your help, and he needs it now! He has a motion for a new trial in the state of Alabama, and he deserves to be treated fairly by the very justice system he has upheld during his tenure in various public offices in that state. The fact that the same US Attorney, Leura Canary, and her team of prosecutors are still in place, will not give him the fair playing field he deserves. Governor Siegelman deserves more than a dog and pony show. He case should see the light of day and be reviewed by Obama-appointed jurists who have no political ax to grind. They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. It would be insanity to ask the Bush appointees who went after Governor Siegelman the first time to truly be fair and unbiased this time. Please...for the sake of Democracy...for the sake of Don Siegelman, for the sake of those of us who believe in justice as a high ideal...please ask Leura Canary and the other leftover Bush appointees to resign. The deadline for the decision on Don Siegelman's motion for a new trial is July 27. Time is of the essence.
