Railroaded by Karl Rove and a corrupt U.S. Attorney, tried, convicted and sentenced by a judge who should have recused himself,, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman is still locked up in a federal prison and he needs our help.

If you haven't already done so, please consider signing his daughter's petition to President Obama to free this innocent Democrat.

This case has been covered before by Democratic Underground; but the fact remains that this popular former Democratic Governor is still locked up;

Don Siegelman's only crime was to be a popular Democratic Governor in a Republican state.

1. The apologists dont like these threads. They avoid them like the plague.

I guess Pres Obama had to chose who to side with and he chooses Karl Rove.

3. That explains why there are only 3 responses to this thread.

Also, the "apologists" don't like any thread which in ANY way criticizes Obama.

5. I will have to take your word for how many of them have responded to this

thread because I have most of them on ignore.

2. I can't imagine Obama intervening on Don Siegelman behalf.

It'd piss off the Republicans.

4. It sure would.

I'm beginning to think Obama will do almost anything to avoid pissing off the Rethugs.

6. Remember Don Siegelman.
