Dear Maryland Freepers AND Freepers Everywhere, Please read all below and spread throughout your state. As Bev Perlson (a Freeper) says, Enough is Enough!! Sorry her emails are not coming through in their original format with spaces between paragraphs. Don't know why. Thanks! Jean

Below are two emails I sent to the Legislative Director for Congresswoman Donna Edwards of Maryland regarding Sgt Derrick Miller. As you all know from my email out to you this week, Sgt. Derrick Miller is sitting in Leavenworth serving a life sentence for defending himself and his brothers on the lopsided battlefield of Afghanistan. This is a follow-up to that email.

On April 29th of this year, Derrick Miller’s mother, his stepdad and myself met with several Maryland legislators. Our “ASK” was that these legislators form a Maryland delegation in support of a reduction in the outrageous life sentence that this 3 time deployed Soldier received and to pen a letter to President Obama and the Secretary of the Army asking for that reduction.

One of the meetings was with Chris Schloesser, the legislative director for Congresswoman Donna Edwards. Derrick’s mother was so encouraged when we left his office because Mr. Schloesser informed us that his brother was the former commanding general of the 101st Airborne and he was going to talk with him and see what could be done to help Derrick. God Bless Derrick’s mother because she was so happy when we parted that day, she truly believed all these Maryland reps were going to help her and her son. Me, I was leery and when you read the email below you will understand why I felt that way. When I got home, I did check out Mr. Schloesser’s claim of his brother’s connection to the 101st and as you can see, that is the case: http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_J._Schloesser (see personal history)
Well, notice the dates of the emails below. And notice in my subject line above, I indicate this was my 2nd request for a reply from Mr. Schloesser. Derrick’s mother nor I have heard a word from Mr. Schloesser since our meeting on April 29th.

I am sharing these emails because quite frankly, I cannot stand the heartbreak that this mother is going through. For the first time since this nightmare began for Derrick and his family, she was so happy anfter these meetings and so hopeful that she was truly on her way to getting justice for her Son, because these Maryland reps told her they were going to do everything they could to help her. Since then, it has been one pathetic excuse after another, or silence! I wouldn’t be surprised if suddenly we are told my emails below to Schloesser are lost due to a computer crash!

Please note, these emails did not come back to me so they were received! Please, I implore you to pick up your phones today and contact Mr. Schloesser and Congresswoman Edwards office and ask him when he is going to keep his word and help Sgt. Miller’s mother. And please forward this email to all your lists! If you twitter, please use #FreeDerrickMiller and follow @katieomalley on Twitter and RETWEET her tweets!

Marinka Peschmann’s excellent story on Sgt. Miller’s case: http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/2014/06/23/exclusive-president-obama-frees-terrorists-while-u-s-soldiers-remain-imprisoned-in-leavenworth-the-untold-story-of-sgt-derrick-miller/

Also, yesterday Marinka Peschmann participated in a radio interview on the Sam Sorbo show regarding Sgt Miller. Yours truly called in to the show: http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/2014/06/24/media-alert-sam-sorbo-show-at-trn-1130-am-et/

Enough is Enough! Obama and his administration have been releasing the worst of the worst terrorists since his election (and as you’ll see below because as one Dem rep stated because “We’re Trying To Close Gitmo!”) and as we just learned recently, they now are releasing onto our streets murdering illegals! Yet they keep our Sons locked up in Leavenworth for actions on their terrorist appeasing battlefield! With all the dangerous and reckless actions by Obama, the leading Democrat of his party, Senator Harry Reid announced recently he is going to take a stand and boycott Redskin games if their name isn’t changed??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Americans should be outraged! As the late GREAT Patriot Andrew Breitbart warned us, racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.

Please help us get our Sons in Leavenworth home to their families. What is good enough for terrorists and murdering illegals, it damn well should be good enough for America’s Sons who stepped up to the plate to defend us against the very terrorists Obama and his party are releasing!!!!!

The emails to Schloesser are below.

With A Mother’s Heart, I thank you for your help and your support of our Sons in Leavenworth who willingly risked their lives to keep you safe,

Mr. Schloesser, I don’t understand why you promised Derrick’s mother that you would talk with your brother regarding Derrick’s case, and then report back to her. You seemed sincere in your promise and you may not think about this, but the days in Leavenworth drag on for a Soldier who unjustly received a life sentence and they drag on longer for their families.
In our meeting, I asked what you had to say to this mother whose son is unjustly serving a life sentence for defending himself on this battlefield as this administration continues to release terrorists who have murdered our American Sons. Your reply was stern and adamant when you said “BUT WE’RE TRYING TO CLOSE GITMO!!!”
Based on your answer, I understand then that you are a part of the administration that is trying to secure the release of terrorists who murdered our Sons so that Gitmo can be closed. As the mother of a Son who served 4 deployments in this war, just thought you might want to know that there doesn’t seem to be much concern in your administration about the future safely of Americans by releasing these murderers.
You might want to view this poll as there is an election coming and closing Gitmo doesn’t seem to be a favorable position among Americans: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/keep-it-open_795066.html

You have not written to Derrick’s mother since our meeting. There seems to be questioning going on among terrorists in Gitmo by this administration as to what they want to do when they are released. Well just thought you might want to know what Derrick wants to do. Derrick wants to go back to Maryland, find a job and raise his daughters. This administration will have no worries that Derrick would return to this lopsided battlefield.
Once again, I am reaching out in hopes that you will reply to Mrs. Myers. She raised a brave Warrior who provided you, your family and your colleagues the safety that you enjoy everyday. And I hope you remember, Derrick’s role over there was to defend America. We look forward to your reply.

In our meeting with you on April 29th, you promised Mrs. Myers that you would follow-up with her and most importantly, that you would consult with your brother, former commander of the 101st Airborne, in your effort to help Derrick.
Mrs. Myers has emailed you twice with no response.
Kindly please respond to both of us what follow-up you have since our meeting on the 29th of April.
I’m sure you can understand how very difficult it is for Derrick’s mother when she does not get any response from you and that only comes from your assurance to her that you would follow-up and be in touch.

Thank You

Once again, Dana Loesch steps up to the plate to support our Troops and the travesties against them. She has ALWAYS been a tremendous support system for our Troops and has ALWAYS responded when I asked for her help. She loves our Troops and she fights for them, ALWAYS! I am honored that she has invited me to join her in studio in Dallas tomorrow to share with Americans the horrendous incarceration of Sgt Derrick Miller as the Obama administration continues to release the worst of the worst terrorists.

Below is an email I received from Marinka Peschmann, one of the best investigative journalists I know who I first met at Walter Reed back in 2009. Marinka was there to cover our visits with our precious Wounded Warriors. She has helped so very much in her reporting on the enormous difficulties our Troops have faced on the battlefield in this war on terror.

Please tune in and PLEASE forward this email to all your lists. We need your help to get Derrick home to his little girls. Help us expose the injustice in this case because that will help all our Troops on this terrorist appeasing battlefield!!!!

Here is the link to the original story I wrote on Sgt. Derrick's Miller case.

Jim already posted an excerpt at Gatewaypundit!

I hope more people will run excerpts. Would be great if The Blaze picks this up before your interview with Dana so viewers will be up to speed and engaged. They have run my work before and can h/t.

Sgt. Miller's mother Renee and I are doing Sam Sorbo’s show on Wednesday.

With A Mother's Heart, I thank all of you for helping to get lst Lt Michael Behenna home. WE did that by applying pressure to those in DC. We need that pressure again for Sgt Derrick Miller.
