Yes, $ush (not typo) is determined not to pardon those two border agents, Ramos and Campos, who were only doing their job. We need to bombard him with e-mails and demand that he take that action to free these two imprisoned men before he leaves office. Send to comments@whitehouse.com.
Bush Pardons Fourteen, Commutes Two Prison Sentences
|
With the Bush administration quickly coming to a close, President Bush has issued fourteen pardons and commuted two prison sentences. No household names such as, say, Scooter Libby, but then again, he still has about two months left.
Some of the pardoned include: - Leslie Owen Collier for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violation of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, - Milton Kirk Cordes for conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits the importation of wildlife, - Carey C. Hice Sr. for income tax evasion, - Daniel Figh Pue III for illegal treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste without a permit, and - Geneve Yvonne Hogg for bank embezzlement. Incidentally, President Bush has used his power to pardon very lightly throughout his administration, granting a total of 171 pardons and 8 commutations. This may seem like a high number, but it is less than half as many as President Clinton or Reagan issued during their two-term presidencies. Share your thoughts in the comments.

All crooks stick together. Its too bad that Ramos and Copean,former boarder patrol agents that got a RAW DEAL for shooting a Drug Dealer. I guess they lack the credentials of a shoddy Banker.

Our Elected Officials are failing US(A). Or, are they conspiring against US(A) for their personal profit (Have's/Have More's) and their good buddy cronies, just like the megalomanic-war-monger-Bush?
"Conservatives" have tried destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights in their greedy lust for World Empire and POWER...
A "Conservative" is a person willing to destroy our Nation, air, land, water and people for their personal profit.... They need to be tarred and feathered and shipped to China on one of their Container Cargo ships.

Dubya is a total suck-up to the worst of the military-industrial-antienvironmental 'complex' and history will damn his soul for what he has done not only to our country but to the entire world.

It seems as though he is determined not to grant parole or a dismissal to the two Border Patrol Agent’s that thousands of people have pleaded with him to do. I guess since his popularity is so low anyway he somehow likes it that way.
