It is now almost four weeks since the date that Pol was to have been deported, yet he remains here in the Los Fresnos Detention Center in Texas. The fact that he is still here and has not been deported is tremendous news; the fact that he remains in prison now almost 17 months is not! Our deepest gratitude and respect go out to all the individuals and Irish-American organizations and attorneys who have contacted their elected representatives in Washington and those efforts are the reason Pol remains here and his case is FINALLY being given due and proper consideration at the highest levels of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We cannot rest on our laurels for reaching this point, but must continue to contact those representatives and reach out to others to win the ultimate prize – the goal of securing Pol’s freedom and the right to live in openly, productively and freely in his home of 25 years, America, with his American wife and family!
To date, pressure on the DHS Director from Capital Hill has won Pol some time – now we must keep mounting and growing that pressure in the Senate and House, but ALSO escalates contact with President Obama and Vice-President Biden (himself a Catholic who has a record of supporting the causes of Irish Nationalists from Northern Ireland). These men are the DHS Director’s only and immediate bosses; they can take this case over the top by directing her to affirmatively utilize her authority in issuing a decision in Pol’s favor if they hear from enough of us, both as individuals and Irish-American organizations. While we continue to keep building favor and influence on Capital Hill, it is IMPERATIVE to contact President Obama and Vice-President Biden on Pol’s behalf.
We have heard of people who have gotten in contact with their local mayors and state representatives and they have been touched by Pol’s plight and have brought it to the attention of Congressmen and Senators who they deal with regularly, and have changed the minds and hearts of those Washington representatives who have otherwise not been responsive to calls and letters of support from individual constituents. Politicians on ALL levels interact as a matter of routine and have their own rapport beyond what any individual or group might have, and ANY local politician can conceivably convert the position of those less responsive to our own calls and letters. This is the last call; it is Pol’s last opportunity for freedom and the real justice due him! You have brought us to this point, bought Pol and his attorney additional time, now please keep the effort up and bring the only right and just conclusion to this matter by having the White House join with our friends and allies on Capital Hill to end this matter favorable for Pol and Joanna! We’ve won a big battle thanks to your efforts; now please stay the course and don’t relent until we’ve won the war!
Fight on for Pol’s freedom until it is guaranteed!!
FOR THOSE WHO GET A FAVORABLE RESPONSE FROM ANY ELECTED OFFICIALS OFICE TO GET THE REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME THE STAFF MEMBER'S NAME AND PHONE/FAX NUMBER AND SUBMIT IT TO information@polbrennan.com SO WE CAN PASS IT ON TO THE ATTORNEY FOR REFERENCE AND FOLLOW-UP!
