****PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE****

Hi everyone,

In the quiet of this peaceful Sunday morning, I look out my window
and see the sun shining on pristinely pure snow. However, my serenity is
shattered and my morning haunted by the knowledge that in the chamber of
horrors called Guantánamo Bay Prison, a man lies alone and suffering due
to medical neglect. Whether or not he gets proper treatment for his
worsening case of hepatitis B and tuberculosis rests in the hands of a
federal judge.

Please do two things --two simple things-- for Mr. Abdel Al-Ghizzawi,
a shopkeeper who never raised a hand against our country, but who has
been imprisoned for six years

1. Sign the online petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/saveabdl/petition.html

2. Personalize the following letter AND SEND IT TODAY to the
Honorable John D. Bates, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
