An organization working in support of jailed U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean is suggesting Christmas meetings for the former officers who are serving prison sentences of more than a decade for shooting at an drug smuggler who dumped a load of marijuana and was fleeing back into Mexico.

The website for Ramos has listed the mailing addressed for the two, who also are the subjects of a petition launched by WND founder and editor Joseph Farah, seeking a presidential pardon.

So far, more than 20,000 people have signed onto the campaign to urge President Bush to free Ramos and Compean before he leaves office in a few weeks.

The Ramos blog, which has carried ongoing reports on the status of the agents’ charges, imprisonment, appeals and now request for presidential intervention, said the Christmas greetings could be sent to:

Ignacio Ramos, 58079-180
FCI Phoenix
Federal Correctional Institution
37910 N. 45th Avenue
Phoenix, Ariz., 85086

And:

Jose Compean, 58080180
FCI Elkton
PO Box 10
Lisbon, Ohio, 44432

Send a FedEx letter to the president asking him to help Ramos and Compean.
