Reach 100 signatures

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters, I am writing to let you know that this petition which expresses support for me at my upcoming resentencing hearing has reached 100 signatures. This is a great start and I am grateful to each of you for taking the time to sign the petition. If not for the continued support of family, friends, and people of conscience, I may have long ago been destroyed by the stifling stresses and perils of prison life. It is a powerful vortex that smothers dreams and drowns people in its abyss of misery and despair. Sadly, it is an experience I witness others succumb to far too often. You are part of a lifeline that helps me continue reimagining a better tomorrow. As part of the next phase of my campaign I want to ask each of you to please reach out to 10 more people and ask them to sign the petition. You can share the petition link in an e-mail message, posting it to blogs and web sites, or using any listservs that may be available to you. If each of you can get just 10 more people to sign the petition we can quickly reach 1,000 signatures. Below I will include sample paragraphs you can copy and paste to share the petition with others. If you use social media you can post it on your wall, share it as a private message with them, or do both. It only takes a few moments to highlight and copy the message below, click on a few Facebook friends, and paste the paragraph as a message to them. Thank you once again for your continued support. Know that your efforts are appreciated and do not go unrecognized. Please continue to keep my family and me in your thoughts and prayers. In Solidarity, Efren Paredes, Jr. SAMPLE SUPPORT MESSAGE Please click on the link below to visit a very important petition which expresses support for Efren Paredes, Jr. at his upcoming resentencing hearing.
