[Ppnews] Must Make Calls to parole Oscar Lopez Rivera

[Political Prisoner News]

This week can be the determining week for the freedom of Oscar López Rivera.

The US Parole Commission has said they intend to 
make their decision to confirm or reject the 
negative recommendation by the US Parole Examiner 
on Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Oscar López 
Rivera, #87651-024, currently incarcerated at FCI 
Terre Haute. Oscar, 68 years old, is presently 
serving his 30th year of incarceration for 
struggling for Puerto Rican independence.

The National Boricua Human Rights Network and the 
Puerto Rico-based Comité Pro-Derechos Humanos are 
urging the parole commissioners to reject the 
wrong-headed and politically punitive 
recommendation of the parole examiner. We intend 
to flood the Parole Board with letters until they 
respond positively. PLEASE DO ALL THREE of the following:

1) DAILY CALL-IN CAMPAIGN FOR THIS WEEK (Jan 
31-Feb 4): CALL the Parole Board in support of 
Oscar Lopez Rivera from 9:00am UNTIL 5:00 PM 
(EST) CALL and have others call. It only takes 5 
minutes. THE NUMBER IS: 301-492-5990 hit 0 to 
speak to operator. Sample script is below.

Hi, my name is ______________ and I live in 
Chicago [NY, etc.] The Parole Commission should 
parole Oscar López # 87651-024 immediately, in 
spite of the hearing examiner’s recommendation to deny parole.

IF YOU HAVE TIME, USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1) Oscar has the support of a broad sector of 
Puerto Rico’s civil society as well as Puerto 
Rican and Latino communities throughout the United States.
2) Oscar was not accused or convicted of causing 
injury or taking a life. He was never accused or 
convicted of participating in the 1975 Fraunces 
Tavern bombing or any other action that resulted in injury or death.
3) President Clinton’s determination that Mr. 
López Rivera’s sentence was disproportionately 
lengthy, and his offer that would have resulted 
in Mr. López Rivera’s release in September of 2009.

2) Download the letter to mail and fax here (or 
write your own using that as a template and place 
on your letterhead) and send right away. (FAX NO: 
301/492-5543) Remember the Parole Commission has 
stated their intention to make their decision by 
Feb. 4. Get as many of your friends, family. 
colleagues and forward to your Facebook and retweet.

3) MAIL Letters to:
Isaac Fulwood, Chariman
United States Parole Commission
5550 Friendship Boulevard, Suite 420
Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815
