I found the following worth reproducing and thought that this would be the perfect place to ask for help on behalf of U.S.M.C. Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi:
Excerpt:
Quote:
Andrew Tahmooressi was arrested in Mexico in March after he got lost and accidentally drove across the border. He had just moved to San Diego from Florida and had all his belongings in his truck, including his pistol, shotgun and rifle….
A California congressional representative sent letters to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry asking him to secure the release of a U.S. Marine veteran jailed in Tijuana after he drove into Mexico with three legally owned guns in his truck last month.
Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter said in the letter that Afghanistan war veteran Andrew Tahmooressi had just moved to San Diego from Florida and had all his belongings in his truck, including his pistol, shotgun, and rifle, when he missed the last U.S. exit on April 1, forcing him to cross the border.
Road closures because of checkpoints and construction added to the confusion, and there was no opportunity for drivers to turn around, Hunter added.

According to an exclusive interview with Fox News, Sgt. Tahmooressi said prison guards tortured and beat him and stripped naked and chained him to a bed. Many other media outlets and multiple international organizations included such coverage in their reports.
Sgt. Tahmooressi served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. In that time, he survived when an IED hit his truck. Now it is time to serve him.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Demand Release of U.S.M.C. Sgt. Tahmooressi
May 31 deadline to file the required petition ends tonight.

FYI: One of America's important ally in the Greater Middle East region asked why President Obama remained silent when it came to one of their own.
We should stop all U.S. mail into Mexico - Then close the border until they free Sgt. Tahmooressi. Imports from Mexico to the U.S. totaled $293 billion in 2012.
Thank you to all who have served our country!
