Subject: Support Our (Other) Troops -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Subscriber, The following was forwarded to me to post to this list. It's from Dr. Tom. - ------------------< begin quote >---------------------- Donna and I are overwhelmed by the kind donations and words of encouragement. It is very hard to have been beat up as we have, but there are some fundamental issues "cooking" in the appeals court that will help everyone in the near future. At least, that is what I hope. I would appreciate letters from anyone, as it makes what I am going through less lonely. The address is: FCI Satellite Camp Tom Clayton, Reg# 06269-078 P.O. Box 629 Bastrop, TX 78603 - -------------------< end quote >----------------------- (Among other annoying restrictions during my "supervised released," I'm not allowed to write to Tom, so I hope you'll all do it for me.) Speaking of appeals, in case I haven't mentioned it before, my appeal was filed many months ago (by a well-known, very competent attorney), and the back-and-forth motions have all been filed. At some point (not now) I'll explain the main issues of the appeal, or maybe post the entire appeal somewhere. For now we just have to wait for the court to get around to hearing the case, which will be months from now. As for Dr. Tom, I think it's time again to all send a little help his family's way. Even having been on the inside, I know how easy it is to forget about the political prisoners who are paying the price for telling the truth. Who wants to think about that? It's discouraging and frustrating, and it's not like we don't have expenses and troubles out here, right? We're all trying to make ends meet. (Tessa and I still have about an $80,000 penalties-and- interest "end" that needs meeting, which would be bad enough if we legally OWED it...but I digress.) If your car needs a $200 repair, you just grumble and pay it, right? When your washing machine dies completely, you curse it and then buy another one. We all have lots of unavoidable expenses, and so things that are optional we often ignore. "I can't afford it." This morning Tom Clayton woke up in federal prison, as he has done for many mornings, and will do for many more. I know him, and I know that today he will wonder how his family is doing, how they will get by, as he has done for many days, and will do for many more days. Personally, having been there, I don't consider helping his family to be an optional expense. It is just one of the costs of living in a not-so-free country. Once again Tessa and I will be throwing $100--which we "can't afford"--their way. Again, $100 isn't worth bragging about. I mention the amount only to illustrate that $100 is either a whole lot of money, or hardly any, depending upon how you look at it. If you ask me, it's hardly any, when used to help out the family of one of the most principled people I've ever met. If you feel that way too, then by all mean pay your "political prisoner bill," and send a donation (made out to "Donna Clayton," not Tom) of whatever you can afford (or whatever you can't) to the following address: Donna Clayton 202 N Vesper Bend Circle The Woodlands, TX 77382 History is full of people who were persecuted for standing up for the truth, who were later vindicated...a few hundred years later. I hope (and I expect) that Dr. Tom will be vindicated a lot more quickly than that, but in the meantime, let's do what we can to help make things a bit easier on him, whether it be in the form of words of encouragement to him, financial help for his family, or both.
