Report on My Visit Yesterday with Border Patrol Agent Ramos in Yazoo Federal Prison Situation Worse Then We Thought
Dear Friend of My Presidential Campaign,
I want to give you a first-hand report of my trip yesterday to Yazoo Federal Prison in Jackson, Mississippi yesterday, to visit with former Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos.
As you know, Agent Ramos and his partner, Jose Alonso Compean, are serving long prison sentences for a border incident in which they wounded a illegal alien drug dealer they testified as being armed.
You've probably heard that Agent Ramos was badly beaten Saturday night in his prison cell. I traveled to Jackson, Mississippi, yesterday to see for myself. And I learned many new horrifying details. For one thing, his injuries were much more serious than have been reported. When I saw Ramos, I was literally astonished at the extent of the injuries on his body. Prison officials have been describing his injuries all week as "minor," but that clearly is not true.
In fact, Agent Ramos' bruises are deep and severe. His arm, chest and back are black and blue with broken blood vessels on his arm. Truthfully, it was a terrible sight. Here's what Ramos told me directly. He was assaulted Saturday night by roughly a half-dozen inmates who recognized him from an episode of a TV show that aired shortly before 10 p.m. He was pulled from his cell, which remains unlocked until midnight. The attackers, who were wearing steel-toed boots, kicked Ramos repeatedly. He did not get to see a doctor until WEDNESDAY, FOUR DAYS AFTER THE BEATING!
Prison official moved Ramos to a special cell in near-solitary confinement, and I am working to get him transferred to a safer facility. Representatives of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, of California, visited Yazoo Prison with me yesterday. When we asked to see photographs of Ramos as he appeared immediately after the beating, prison officials refused.
Federal prosecutors threw these Border Agents in prison while a Illegal Alien drug dealer walks free. And now, one of the agents is attacked viciously. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE!
My friends, I want to challenge you to do two things in response to the report you're reading here. First, I want you to go consider writing a card or letter of encouragement to Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos, now trying to recover in Yazoo Federal Prison. It's truly the very least we can do for him.
Second, I want to ask you to consider helping my presidential campaign again financially. Think about it this way. When Agents Ramos and Compean were thrown into prison for over a decade apiece, what were the other Republican Presidential hopefuls doing? Mitt Romney was refusing to ask for a pardon. John McCain, Sam Brownback, Chuck Hagel, and Rudy Giuliani were all continuing to press for Higher Immigration levels and Illegal Alien Amnesties.

Are you ready for change? If we want someone representing our views in the 2008 Presidential Race, we're going to have to MAKE IT HAPPEN. I'm working hard to represent you! Help me help out our country.
