Hi everyone! First of all, I want to say THANK YOU for your support! It means so much to Richard to know he is not alone in his fight for justice. He has needed to be heard, and feel that someone is actually listening, for so long and this petition is helping to give him that. I cannot tell you how great it feels to be able to read him the comments that are posted when he calls. Now the first thing he asks when I answer the phone is "what number are we at now? anyone else write something?" I have been so pleased that the number is always higher than the last conversation, and there is always something new to read. If you haven't already read these articles and watched the videos, I would like to share them with you. So you can "meet" Richard and hear him speak for himself.
