Message from Lynne —
Call for compassionate release
Thursday, May 30

May 28th, 2013

Dear Friends and Supporters:

One month ago I made a request for compassionate release which was honored by the warden at Carswell Federal Medical Center.  Today the papers are still on a desk in Washington, D.C. even though the terminal cancer that I have contracted requires expeditious action.

Although I requested immediate action by the Bureau of Prisons, I find it necessary to again request immediate action from you, my friends, comrades and supporters to call the three numbers listed below on Thursday, May 30 and request action on my behalf.

This could result in my being able to access medical treatment at Sloan Kettering so that I can face the rest of my life with dignity surrounded by those I love and who love me.

Please do this.

Yours truly,

Lynne Stewart FMS CARSWELL-53504-054
& Ralph Poynter, Lynne Stewart Defense Organization

 

CALL THURSDAY, MAY 30th:

Attorney General  Eric Holder – 1.202.514.2001

White House President Obama – 1.202.456.1414

B.O.P. – Director  Charles Samuels – 1.202.307.3250
