Prisoners Of Conscience |

I now want to share with you some of what was going through my mind while we sat in circle in Manchester. When I say you I mean my fellow runners. As we circled in the Motel in Manchester my heart was filled with so much emotion that I dare not speak. There were many thoughts that I wanted to share with you that have been instilled in me through my months of contact with those we were running for . I hope that by sharing the statements from the letters I received gave you an inkling of the importance of what we had accomplished in solidarity with those who could not be with us. I have no adequate words to describe the love, admiration and respect I hold in my heart for you. I want to thank you from the bottom of that same heart for once again putting your feet on the pavement for such a noble cause as this run exemplified! I have never, NEVER, been prouder to be with anyone, anywhere, at any time in my life! Thousands of people were affected by this run, thousands! Word was spread over 20 some odd jails, FMCs, FPCs and FCIs from Maine to California and it was not kept secret. The prison grapevine was working overtime. There was even one case where a prisoner, not SOA37, but just a normal prisoner found out about this Run in a jail in Georgia from an inmate from a FPC in Illinois! Albert held a prayer ceremony at a Pow Wow for the Children making all there aware of our efforts! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Blessed are the Peacemakers Hugs and Love John |
