Pardon Don Siegelman
President Obama
113 former state Attorneys General (Democrats, Republicans, and
Independents), the nation's most preeminent law professors, and
concerned citizens say this case is erroneous and Don Siegelman never committed a crime. The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, Harper's, Time Magazine, The American Trial Lawyers, Huffington Post, and The Guardian have published serious concerns about this conviction. Even Fox Business News sympathized with Siegelman.
CBS’ 60 Minutes reported that the prosecution team coached key witness Nick Bailey more than 70 times and offered him a deal to testify against Siegelman.
Several whistleblowers have come forward disclosing Karl Rove's involvement
in railroading Don Siegelman and the unethical use of Republican Party
affiliates to help convict Siegelman of a crime he never committed.
This petition is much more
than just one man's freedom. It is about American freedom. If this can happen to one man, it can happen to anyone.
Please join me in asking
President Barack Obama to pardon Don Siegelman by signing the petition
on Action Network and sharing this message publicly however you can.
