URGENT ACTION ALERT!!!!! COME & STAY IN WASHINGTON DC

The International Action Center urges you to join Ralph Poynter in a vigil in front of the white house for Lynne Stewart’s compassionate release, beginning Monday, June 17 and continuing until Lynne is released. The IAC will be participating in the vigil until Lynne is free. Participate as much as you can. And continue the following support actions:

CALL: White House – President Barack Obama – 1-202-456-1414

Attorney General Eric Holder – 1-202-514-2001

Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Charles Samuels – 1-202-307-3250

Poynter explains: “Lynne has passed all of the legalities of compassionate release and qualifies for release as the bill was written. The prison warden at Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, has signed for her release, and so has the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Charles R. Samuels. Probation officers charged with inspecting Lynne’s future residence approved her housing. All that is required by the statute of compassionate release has been done. Yet Lynne is still in jail! Every day that her release is postponed makes treatment of her cancer more difficult.”
