Your Holiness:

I am writing to extend our deepest gratitude to you for sending prayers and blessings to Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, who has been unjustly incarcerated for almost 22 years. We thank God for your correspondence, as he has suffered unlike any other because of who he is.

Ramsey Muñiz suffers from an incarceration that has been disregarded for years. He is a good and loving person who graduated from Baylor Law School and became a candidate for governor of Texas during the Civil Rights Movement. Muñiz represented Mexican Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Chicanos, and others who lacked a political voice. He brought positive change for many. As a result, he suffered imprisonment several times, and he is now in prison for life. Innocence was impossible to prove.

Ramsey Muñiz, a Catholic, has always been spiritual. During his childhood he helped his grandmother to pray for the sick. His faith remains strong today. He maintains faith in God, Jesus Christ, and La Virgen de Guadalupe.

Dr. Andres Guerrero, a graduate of Harvard School of Divinity, learned of the incarceration of Ramsey Muñiz. He visited him at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. Dr. Guerrero witnessed his immense suffering and today he is writing a book about his life and present incarceration.

We have asked Deborah Leff, Pardon Attorney, to forward the Petition for Commutation of Sentence, submitted by Ramiro R. Muñiz, to President Barack Obama. Muñiz He is 72 years of age, and he suffers from chronic, degenerative health conditions (hip fracture, herniated disc, anemia). He is not violent.

If your schedule were to permit, we would be honored for you to visit Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz. He is at the Federal Correctional Medium Institution in Beaumont, Texas. Your historical visit would represent the first steps toward his freedom, and give hope to thousands of prisoners and families who suffer.

As our spiritual leader, we ask that you speak of this case to President Obama, and write a letter of support asking him to grant the freedom of Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, 40288-115. To learn more about Muñiz, please visit our website and blog at www.freeramsey.com and www.freeramsey.blogspot.com.

We extend our gratitude and prayers to you for all you have done for humanity.

                                                            In spiritual unity with you and God’s family,

                        

Write to President Barack Obama

Dear President Obama:

I am writing to express my support for a Commutation of Sentence for Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, who has been incarcerated for 21 years. He is 72 years of age and he is not violent.  He is not able to walk as before. He has chronic, degenerative health conditions including a hip injury and herniated disc. He spends over 80% of his time in a wheelchair.  

Ramsey Muñiz is respected by many people throughout the United States for the contributions that he has made throughout his life.  Through his community activism he brought about educational, economic, and political advancements for Mexican Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Chicanos, and many others.

Muñiz has no history of violence. I join the national organizations, congressmen, educators, and many others who seek a Commutation of Sentence for Ramsey Muñiz.  We will remain politically involved in this issue, knowing that Muñiz is a candidate based on his age, medical condition, and non-violent history. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter that is important to many supporters.

Dear Senator/Representative:

I am writing to ask that you send a letter to President Barack Obama, to support the Petition for Commutation of Sentence for Ramiro "Ramsey" Muñiz, 40288-115. Muñiz is 72 years of age and he has chronic, degenerative medical conditions. He uses a wheelchair or walker to transport himself. 

In these times when non-violent prisoners are being considered for release from prison, Ramsey Muñiz is the perfect example for a person who deserves consideration. He has never committed a violent crime in his life. . 

Knowing that President Obama is in the process of selecting non-violent petitioners for early release, Muñiz qualifies for a Commutation of Sentence. The Hispanic community and members of Hispanic organizations (National LULAC, the American GI Forum, Friends of Justice) will remain politically involved in this issue to ensure that Ramsey Muñiz will be granted a Petition for Commutation of Sentence in 2015. 

President Obama's mailing address is provided below for your convenience. Thank you for your assistance with this matter that is of utmost importance to many supporters.

Dear Ms. Leff:

I am writing in support of the Petition for Commutation of Sentence for Ramiro "Ramsey" Muñiz, based on his health and age. At nearly 72 years of age, he suffers from chronic, degenerative medical conditions due to circumstances that could not have been foreseen by the court during sentencing. Additionally, he has never committed a violent act in his life.

Muñiz uses a wheelchair the majority of the time, as he is no longer able to walk as before. Because of the age and condition of Mr. Muniz, we ask that you forward the Petition for Commutation of Sentence to President Barack Obama.

The Hispanic community will remain politically involved in this issue to ensure that Ramsey Muñiz is granted a Commutation of Sentence by President Obama before he leaves office.

Dear Mr. President:

We the family, friends, and supporters of Ramiro "Ramsey" Muñiz are writing to ask for your support in granting his Petition for Commutation of Sentence. Muñiz has been incarcerated for 21 years. At 72 years of age, he suffers from deteriorating medical conditions which could not have been foreseen by the Court when he was sentenced in 1994. 

The life sentence imposed on Ramsey Muñiz is cruel and unusual. As a president who defends human rights, we ask that you strongly consider the application of a man whose long imprisonment has brought about suffering for him and his family for many years.

Our families remain united with Ramsey Muñiz. We will never abandon the struggle to obtain his freedom. 

We ask that you grant the Petition for Commutation of Sentence for Ramsey Muñiz.

Very truly yours,
