News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

A grass-roots organization and a media consulting firm launched a campaign Monday seeking a presidential pardon for two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a Mexican national during a 2005 incident.

The 30- to 60- second television spots, produced by Demos Chrissos, owner of Rapid Response Media, will first air on Washington, D.C., cable channels this week, Chrissos said.

Radio commercials targeting congressional representatives in their own districts will begin airing by the end of the week, he said.

The "man on the street" TV spots were posted Monday on grassfire.org, a conservative Web site that has collected more than 325,000 signatures calling on President Bush to pardon former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.
