Border agent Nacho Ramos shares his story on July 4th

2009-07-06T09:21:00.000-07:00

San Diego- Old Glory waving in the wind at Camp Vigilance was the backdrop for Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos Jr.’s first interview since his sentence was commuted by former President Bush.

“It’s a great feeling despite everything that has happened,” Romos said. “I still love my country and everything it represents.”

The July 4th celebration in Boulevard, CA 60 miles east of San Diego, certainly gave the Ramos family a heroes welcome. And like any true patriot, Ramos posed for pictures shook a lot of hands and hugged his admirers.

“This support has taken me by surprise. My wife tried to explain what it was like to be out there with the well wishers, but until today I didn’t really know.”

This real-world drama began in 2005 where the two border patrol agents Romos and Jose Compean were serving the nation in the southern war-zone border. Each year approximately 70-80 percent of the illicit drugs enter the U.S. through the dangerous southern border which has seen violence accelerate over the past few years. READ MORE

Large Cross appears in the sky!

Hey all,

This is Max Worthington the blogmaster.

Seconds after I had spoken to Joe Loya today about the good news of Nacho's commutation. I looked up into the sky and said "Thank You God" and there was the biggest cross I've ever seen.

It's approximately ten miles wide and twenty miles long, it appeared directly over Los Angeles Airport. This picture is looking from El Segundo CA, due north, with the Santa Monica Mountains in the background.

I captured it on my cell phone, the picture has not been altered in any way.

The ENTIRE TX Congressional delegation signed and sent this letter to Bush, asking him to consider pardoning Ramos and Compean.

Hats off the the delegates

And, deep down inside, I know, Bush is NOT GOING TO CARE ...

And I'll be celebrating the day he leaves office.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.

Letter to the Pope

2009-01-14T07:59:00.000-08:00

Our Dear Holyness, Pope Benedict,

It is with great humility and open heart that I write to you. Although there are multitudes of problems in the world, with humility I ask that you pray for the freedom of our Border Patrol Agents who were locked up on false charges. I say this because I met and spoke to Nacho and his family. He gave me his word under the oath of God that he was innocent. He was trying to protect our country against drug dealers who would go against the laws and bring drugs into this country.I am greatly saddened by this. As a past teacher and knowing how drugs get disseminated to children many of whom overdose and die, I am against drugs coming into any country and being used against the word of our Lord in the Bible.

Please pray for the families of Ramos & Campion and put in a good word to President Bush for their pardon.

These are good Catholic Mexican American Families who need your help and have suffered too long.

Blessings,

Barbara Lang

Another blow to the Nacho Ramos Family

2009-01-09T00:07:00.000-08:00

Date: Thursday, January 8, 2009, 7:35 AM

Another blow to the Nacho Ramos family happened the evening of 1/3/09.

Upon returning to the house with her 3 boys, her eldest son opened the front door. He was immediately hit with the smell a large amount of gas in the air, he yelled to his mom, she told him not to turn the light on. Monica safely removed her children from the area.

It is then she found her home had been broken into! Computer equipment destroyed, couches and chairs slashed, cherished wedding pictures, pictures of her life with Nacho and their children were ripped off the walls, shelves and slammed to the ground. DVDs & player taken, and the entire house ransacked! They even beat her dogs!

Thank God no one turned on a light! Monica and her three boys would be gone!!!

One has to ask, is this case related??? Is Monica getting to close to exposing the truth in this outrageous injustice to her husband and Jose Compean???

My God how much more must these families endure! These men should be home protecting their families, just as they tried to protect our Country!!!

Talk about CRUEL & UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT, Just how will Nacho even shut his eyes knowing someone attempted to blow up his family!

We must be relentless demanding The President commute the sentences of these men, return them to their families and their jobs.
