Send Don Siegelman a Thanksgiving Card
Instead of being able to spend Thanksgiving at home with his family, Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman has to spend yet another Thanksgiving in a federal prison, not because he did anything wrong, but because he was railroaded by Karl Rove, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a corrupt U.S. Attorney, and a corrupt judge.
Thanksgiving is only four days away, and for those of us who care about Gov. Siegelman, there's still enough time to send him a Thanksgiving card, which I'm sure he will appreciate.
You can send Don a Thanksgiving card to the following address:
FPC Oakdale
Siegelman, Don
24775-001
PO Box 5010
Oakdale, LA. 71463

Do you have a favorite Paul Newman movie or movies?
I loved all his movies, especially "Cool Hand Luke" - "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
"The Hustler" - "Somebody Up There Likes Me" - "The Verdict" - "The Color of Money" - and
"The Sting"
If I had to pick one, it would probably be "Fat Man and Little Boy" (1989)

"Yet Another Thanksgiving in Prison"
These crisp days and autumn leaves remind us that the holidays are upon us.
As we make our plans for the season, our thoughts turn toward football, festivities, and family gatherings, and all the things in our lives for which we are grateful.
Sadly, our happiness is muted when we know someone who should be with friends and family but cannot.
Don Siegelman (along with many other innocent and over-sentenced prisoners) is wasting yet another holiday away from his family.
As you make your holiday to-do lists this year, won't you add dropping Don Siegelman a card or letter to Don Siegelman in prison?
Your cards and letters mean so much to him, but even more so during this season, when prisoners are spending the holiday season "behind the fence."
The mailing address for Don Siegelman in prison is below.
(Use this exact address and remember everything you send may be censored)
Send him a card or letter.
You will feel GREAT for doing it.

THE DON SIEGELMAN DOCUMENTARY
While we work to free Don Siegelman who is locked away from his family, the corrupt operatives that used a trumped-up prosecution and a prison sentence to keep Don Siegelman out of play politically are currently making festive holiday plans with friends and family.
Despite all our efforts -- our protests, appeals, amicus brief, petitions for pardon, and a public outcry -- a baffling yawn of silence has greeted all our attempts to free and exonerate Don Siegelman.
But this story demands to be told, so we are not giving up!
After months and months of intensive research, interviewing and filming, we recently started production on a film about the prosecution of Don Siegelman.
Having all but exhausted our legal recourse, we want to pour our energy into telling the Don Siegelman story to as many people as possible.
Why is this important?
2016 elections
The elections are coming soon and we want the film to be released in time to wake people up to the underhanded tactics that might be used to defeat legitimate candidates.
REVEAL - The dirty tricks of Karl Rove and other corrupt politicos.
EXPOSE - The corruption behind Don's wrongful conviction.
REMIND - Everyone of on-going Alabama Republican corruption.
The documentary includes interviews with some of America's most influential legal experts, as well as those who witnessed this travesty of justice on the ground, as it occurred.
When we think we cannot be shocked further, we uncover even more coruption in the prosecution against Governor Siegelman.
We guarantee this film will surprise you!
We have raised $60,000 as of today, now we need to raise $30,000 to reach our $90,000 target.
Help us tell the world this story.
EDUCATION is the first step needed to make change happen.

Groups Collect Over 460,000 Petition Signatures To Keep Donald Trump Off SNL
Americas Voice
November 2, 2015
By Matt Hildreth
With Donald Trump's appearance as host of Saturday Night Live just days away, Latino and immigration groups, along with their allies, have collected over 460,000 petition signatures telling Lorne Michaels and SNL that Donald Trump's racism isn't funny.
On Monday, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus released a strongly worded statement directed at Lorne Michaels highlighting several recent instances where Trump supporters have beat or harassed Latinos after hearing his anti-immigrant and anti-Latino speeches:
"Therefore be it resolved that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus calls upon NBCUniversal, Broadway Video, and SNL Producer Lorne Michaels to dis-invite Mr. Trump from hosting Saturday Night Live because racism is not funny, and:
Be it further resolved that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus urges NBCUniversal to stand by it's earlier commitment to end it's relationship with Mr.Trump because the values of 'respect and dignity for all people' are more important than ratings and ad revenues."
A new video from "Voto Latino Action Fund" shows the true impact of Donald Trump's words and captures many of the instances mentioned in the CHC's full statement.
