Received Dec. 21, 2006, 9:48 p.m. Here Riad Hamad responds to news that Palestinian families are being held at T. Don Hutto prison in Taylor, Texas. In at least one case, a younger child, who was born American, was placed in foster care.–gm

Subject: This is appalling

Marhaba ( hello in Arabic) I just called . . . the attorney in Dallas and will try; to call him in the morning . . . do you know where the children are in foster homes.

I am very willing, capable and determined to help if you can give me more information about these families and how we can help . . . Looking forward to hearing from you and THANKS for your work for peace and justice in these dark days of humanity led by the evil empire and its emperor George W. Bush.

Salam/ Peace with justice

Dear Friends:

Ramsey Muniz had a vivid dream. In his dream we were together–sharing
sentiments of love, and I asked him what it was that he desired. His response
was, “I desire my freedom NOW. I do not wish to die in the prisons of America
for a crime I did not commit.”

Our wish is that this country grant Ramsey his freedom now, and that he be
given a fair chance to prove his innocence. We ask your assistance in
accomplishing this, as we are preparing to send information and plead our case
again upon my return from Oklahoma.

The greatest assistance that you can provide is in thinking and believing that
Ramsey WILL be granted his freedom. Please take several minutes during this
Holy Week and ask God, through your thoughts and prayers, for Ramsey’s chance
to prove his innocence, and for his happiness and freedom. Our collective
thoughts and prayers will make this come about.

Ramsey states,

“Jesus spoke of love, compassion, harmony, respect, and sacrifice. My highest respect and honor go to the courage and conviction that
He maintained to the last seconds of His life. Even non-Christians must agree
that history does not record the sacrifices that man makes for the love of humanity. His own followers and politicians betrayed him at the end. How He
must have felt alone in a mode of darkness with chains and shackles, and whipped with the lashes of hatred and oppression, knowing from the beginning that this would be His destiny.

As a spiritual warrior of the Sixth Sun, we pay our highest respect to this spiritual Man who sacrificed His life in order that others be freed. To be free is to love, and without love in one’s heart we can never be alive. His spirits, like those of Quetzalcoatl and many others, are alive today.”

Ramsey Muniz – Tezcatlipoca

“HOW it will happen, HOW the Universe will bring it to you, is not your
concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you. When you are trying to
work out HOW it will happen, you are emitting a frequency that contains a lack
of faith — that you don’t believe you have it already. You think YOU have to
do it, and you do not believe the Universe will do it for you. The HOW is not
your part in the Creative Process.”

Press Release

BORDERAMBASSADORS.COM TO “DEPUTIZE” WINTER TEXANS

All Winter Texans in the Valley are invited to a ‘party party’ at Pepe’s on the River Bar and Grill (2601 S Conway St, Mission, TX) on the Rio Grande from two until five p.m. this Saturday, February 2 (2008).

Jeff Reed of Pepe’s and BorderAmbassadors.com are hosting the event to
‘deputize’ attendees as Border Ambassadors to return home and urge their friends, neighbors and relatives to stand with them and Valley residents
against ‘the wall.’

According to Reed, musical entertainment will begin as early at 1 p.m. The ‘party party’ will include numerous door prize drawings and area politicos and citizens will answer attendees’ questions about the lack of need for a Wall to separate Texas from Mexico.

BorderAmbassadors.com was founded by Jay Johnson-Castro of Del Rio to campaign against construction of the wall as well as to promote tourism and economic growth on the Border. Its membership stretches from Brownsville to El Paso and on to the California coast.

“By deputizing the Winter Texans, who love the ambiance of the Rio Grande Valley, we will have ambassadors all over the U.S. dispelling the un-truths that are being told by many of the talk show hosts and TV commentators,” stated Johnson-Castro.

“We support the actions of our elected officials and landowners who refuse to bow to the heavy-handed tactics of the DHS,” he continued. “However, this ‘party party’ is primarily about the camaraderie that Texans enjoy with our great winter visitors.”

For more information, call Sarah Boone at 830-768-1100 before 1/31/08. On or after 1/31/08, call Jay Johnson-Castro at 830-768-0768 or cell,
830-734-8636.
