Dear Mrs. Muñiz:

On behalf of the Mexican American Democrats of Texas (MAD of Texas), I respectfully submit this letter support you and the National Committee to Free Ramsey Muñiz’ tireless work on behalf of Mr. Muñiz’ release.  Our statewide organization has twenty-two chapters across the state of Texas.  MAD of Texas met at the annual convention in Austin, Texas on September 28, 2013 and passed a resolution in support of Mr. Muñiz’ “Commutation of Sentence and Compassionate Release”.  The MAD of Texas Resolution states the following:

“MAD joins the growing list of organizations and individuals that support efforts by the National Committee to Free Ramiro "Ramsey" Muñiz in seeking his immediate freedom.  Furthermore, MAD requests he be released under the auspices of President Obama’s Compassionate Release Program.  Muñiz, who advocated for civil and human rights has been imprisoned for over twenty years.  Prior to his imprisonment, Muniz was a distinguished football star and scholar, having been awarded a full scholarship to Baylor University where he served as an officer of the Fellowship Christian Athletes. Ramsey Muñiz received a Bachelor of Arts & Science Degree in Political Science, and Juris Doctorate Degree from Baylor School of Law. He was a successful attorney who later became the first Mexican American to run for Governor of Texas.”

Sincerely,

Steve Salazar
