152 Art & Valeria HarmanYou only need to look at the timing of the events surrounding Don Siegelman's disgraceful conviction to know that it was motivated only by Republican opposition to Siegelman's election.
153 John DaytonI am concerned about the federal governments ability to sweep people away and make them disappear efectively,,,

156 AnonymousAn investigation needs to commence in Congress concerning all apects of this case and those with key roles of involvement. Was Karl Rove and the White House involved? The American public needs to know.
157 Sarah JonesThe case of Don Siegelman is a miscarriage of justice, an innocent man was sent to prison for a purely political purpose. It is time that there was a full investigation into the conduct of the prosecuting attorney and reason for the trumped up charges. It is fundamentally un-American to hold a man in prison for a crime that was never committed. Where is the justice that this country used to be known for?

159 Lynda ParkhurstDon't let the neocon criminals railroad him. If we allow this to happen YOU will be next.
160 Sarah SmithAs Christmas approaches us....let us remember two men that are sitting in prison for no other reason than a politcal vendetta. Please send any monetary gift that you can to Don, let him know that we are still standing by him. He has a great many friends that are a wonderful group. Our love and dedication will always be with Don! This is so very wrong to have him where he is. He needs to be out and running our state! Please help him in anyway that you can! Send to: Don Siegelman-Legal Defense Fund P.O. Box 430116 Birmingham, Alabama 53423
161 dennis waugamanLets quit acting like fascists. Where is the crime?
162 Linda BuchThis is an outrageous abuse of political power and a frightening example of what happens with a "unitary executive" [aka"dictator"] and a rubber-stamp government.

164 Jason Carne;ySomehow i missed this story until today. I am outraged. This election fraud and following unjust prosecution seems to link many crimes of the Bush Administration.

166 Elwyn Hudson Jr.Political prisoners in the USA what is this country coming to?. Its a shame that the Birmingham News is not pointing out how a good man was wrongly convicted by his political rivals.
167 Bill FrenchPutting political enemies in jail is supposed to be what you read about in history books and third world countries. But then again who says America is not a third world country? I lost my programming job to a foreigner. That's what happens to third world citizens.

169 roman nowickiI demand that Don Siegleman be set free since he is a victim of the Bush administration retribution machine. I also demand that Congress open up an investigation and prosecute those who masterminded this injustice as well as the overturning of Sigleman's 2004 victory for governor of Alabama that was stolen from him!
170 Ward WeltyDon Siegelman is a political prisoner. He is a victim of selective prosecution. His conviction is a miscarriage of justice. He should be allowed bail and be freed pending the results of an appeal.
171 Paul W. RossAs a 31-year supporter of human rights around the world, I am appalled at the treatment Gov. Siegelman has received at the hands of OUR Federal government. This "justice" has all the earmarks of the 1937 Engineers' show trials of the unlamented Stalinist Soviet Union. Serve the cause of genuine justice & release this man at once!!!!!!!!!
172 Alice BurlesonThe Bush administration has perverted everything that once made America a free, open, and HONEST country. The Siegelman case is one of the worst examples of the total lack of morality of the current Republican admiistration. George Bush and crew (this includes Bob Riley and the judges in this case) are totally lacking in any redeeming qualities. They are the ones who should be in prison. Let's make THAT happen, and free Don Siegelman.
173 Esther B. DavisIt makes me sick to know that these morally bankrupt crooks are doing this to the most honest governor we've ever had in the state of Alabama. We demand that these hypocrits free our governor.
174 Dennis worleywe the people are standing behind don siegelman. please do everything in your power to free him.
175 Mike ManorI hope there can be an investigation and certainly a fair appeal. Given the "crime", Mr. Siegelman should certainly be allowed to be free while waiting for his appeal.
176 SMThe time will come when the blind men are shuffled down the timeless corridor of justice, behind the bars they erected around this once great republic, and the innocent ones are freed, unshackled, a blue moon rising.
177 Susan BeckI am appalled that Governr Siegelman's trial transcripts are not being released. This behavior by Judge Fuller is a misuse of power and should be investigated. Free Don Siegelman!

182 John J. MacDougallEnough evidence of a miscarriage of justice in the case of Governor Seigelman has been collected by a host of responsible Alabama citizens and makes a persuasive case for revealing and examining what has happened. We are a government of laws and not men; let's do the right thing.
183 Esther DavisWe love Don. We want him back to run for governor again.
184 Darlene GloverThe man sould be free.This is an injustice to our country. Really, What is the crime?
185 DAVID LAMBERTJustice is a cause worth everones time.
186 AnonymousStop this injustice! Free Don Siegelman.
187 J. William McFarland, Jr.Governor Siegelman served Alabama well for most of his adult life. The way in which this criminal case was carried out reminds me of a persecution, not a prosecution.
188 Sharron WilliamsEach day Gov. Siegelman is scrubbing toilets in prison, the members of Congress ought to think "But by the same token..." Congress must expedite his release and bring to justice those who have stomped on our Constitution to put him there.
189 Tommy HodgesAmerica the new third world country needs to free Gov. Don of his purely political charges.
190 Richard VanceThe leading away to prison immediately without a separate sentence hearing is the finest indication of Judicial advocacy for the prosecution. The Judge should be doing time.
191 Mia Fitermanfree siegelman...jail bush!
192 J CoffeltSiegelman is a man of honor and Rove is the devil. Rove's henchmen are responsible for this travesty of justice and Rove should be in prison if anyone
193 Damien Marsic
194 William Debs KeyNothing good has come from the Bush Administration and this is an example of something quite heinous. Another example of Republican High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
195 AnonymousSiegelman's prosecution and imprisonment are among the prime examples of the Bush administration's use of the Justice Department to advance partisan political purposes. History will show this perversion of executive power as a turning point in the history of the United States. PLEASE SAVE THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND REMEDY THIS ABUSE OF POWER.

200 Sarah SmithAs the election draws near and we are voting for some changes in America, let's be dedicated enough and care enough to NOT STOP working for Don to be free! This type of political injustice happened right here in our Alabama and we know in other states across the nation. We need to stand up to these injustices and set America on the right track. Don Siegelman needs to be free!
