Bush goes out with a Bang!

Early this afternoon the news began to break, that Ramos and Campean would receive a commutation by President Bush. They will be officially out of jail as of March 20.

It was Libertarian Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher who was the first major politician out of the gate on the issue.

During 2007, Rep. Rohrabacher participated in numerous rallies and media interviews to secure their release, such as the one in this YouTube video.

Rohrabacher was a busy activist for the two men right up to the bitter end.

On this past Sat., Jan. 17, he and Ramos’ father-in-law, Joe Loya led supporters at the second year anniversary of the incarceration of Ramos and Compean rally in front of the Congressman’s office in Huntington Beach, Calif.

Just three days prior on Jan. 14, Rohrabacher called upon U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton to officially support commutation for the two men languishing in solitary confinement.
