Ok, seriously: Send a letter for Oso Blanco

January 27, 2013 in Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War, Take Action | Tags: do this now, executive clemency, free em all, Oso Blanco | 1 comment

Now is the time.

From Oso:
“Tell them my clemency papers are There in Wash DC. We must send letters to Obama Fast”

Oso Blanco. NOTE: New Address as of January 2013.

In a previous post I recommended that people send letters to the TTW PO Box and that I would go through and send. I think it’s too late for that now and I haven’t received them. Will check again soon but — scratch that. Please send letters directly to Parole Attorney and Obama and send a copy to me at Through the Walls.

Email me or message me letters (throughwalls [at] rise up [dot] net) or send yourself. If you are outside of u.s.-occupied north america definitely email or message me.

UPDATE: Letters should be sent to two addresses: Office of the Pardon Attorney and Office of the President.

1) Correspondence to the Department of Justice, Office of the Pardon Attorney, may be sent to:

Office of the Pardon Attorney
1425 New York Avenue, N.W.
Suite 11000
Washington, D.C. 20530

And/or Email the Office of the Pardon Attorney

“Please note: An attachment to an e-mail will be considered only if it has been requested by the Office of the Pardon Attorney. Attachments should be in PDF format and not exceed file size limits. Unsolicited e-mail attachments will not be opened.”
Also, the Pardon Attorney is Ronald L. Rodgers so address letters to him if you’d like.

2) Obama . . .

President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Got it?

See my previous post on this subject for a sample executive clemency letter on behalf of Oso Blanco.

Send electronically to me or send physically and/or electronically to Pardon Attorney AND Obama.

I’m sending mine off tomorrow so get at me soon!

Oso Blanco will appreciate your vigilance!

Open Letter to Obama for Clemency for Oso Blanco

December 16, 2012 in Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War, Take Action | Tags: executive clemency, Obama, Oso Blanco, political prisoners, prisoners of war | 1 comment

While asking for things from Obama and the state is not at the heart of the strategies I believe in, when a captive freedom fighter chooses to pursue liberation through this avenue and asks for help from supporters, I believe it’s appropriate to follow through.

Below is an open letter. Use it as a reference in writing your own letter and/or learn more about Oso Blanco at osoblanco.org . . .

*NOTE: Address letters to Barack

But send them to Through the Walls so they can be sent together in connection with the petition:

Through the Walls
PO Box 132
Brooklyn, NY 11218

President Barack Obama

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

I am writing on behalf of Mr. Byron Shane Chubbuck, Federal Bureau of Prisons #07909-051, who is petitioning you for Executive Clemency. I am aware that Mr. Chubbuck pled guilty to multiple counts of bank robbery, assault, and other charges. Through research and correspondence with Mr. Chubbuck, I am also aware that, strange as it may sound, even then, Chubbuck was motivated by a desire to financially aid hungry children.

Today, Chubbuck’s need to help others manifests itself closer to home and within the law. He very much, and very truly, wants to be a father to his son and to help his sister and his mother who struggle with health issues. For a person driven by humanitarianism, the Federal Bureau of Prisons can only provide so much corrective and rehabilitative influence. After nearly thirteen years, it is time for his rehabilitation to continue to the next chapter—a return to his family and community so that he can begin to contribute to their and his health and well-being.

I am aware that granting a pardon to Chubbuck would involve risk to your own reputation and political career. However that is often the case in a matter of doing the right thing and I believe that you will make every effort to be just in your decision. Thank you for the action you will take.

Sincerely,

[name]
