Hello Patriots Nation! We are hovering over 7,200 signatures on the Petition to support the Consumer Complaint vs NFL and if I could thank each one of you, personally, I would! But from the heart, thank you all! And though some fellow Patriot Nation supporters may not receive this update directly, I'd like to publicly thank everyone who has not only directly supported the Complaint/Petition, but to all in Patriot Nation who have taken action toward victory for Tom Brady and the Patriots. Whether writing letters to the NFL Owners, NFLPA, etc or tweeting out to the media, staging demonstrations/protests, boycotting the NFL Products and Draft, you are all making a difference by #DoingYourJob on behalf of the Patriots. THANK YOU! There may be some explosive news on the legal front this upcoming week, so stay tuned for updates on that in the upcoming days! (Teaser intended) Over the last 6-7 weeks, there have been many ups and downs related to Deflategate and the Consumer Complaint. As positive news came out, the signatures rose, as not so good news came out, the numbers slowed considerably, especially since the last Hearing where the NFLPA seemed to get hammered. But through that, I have come across so many awesome people across various Patriot FB Groups, on Twitter, email and even in person. At times, when things weren't looking as positive, I'd come across someone who's simple words of support re-energized me, but recently, I met a guy who blew me away and who I consider an inspiration! Recently, I was lucky enough to meet and befriend one of the most passionate Patriots fans I have ever met, Mikey DiMauro from Orlando, Florida. Mikey, who has Autism, took it upon himself to write numerous letters, faxes, emails to NFL leaders & Robert Kraft, among many others to plead and demand justice for the Patriots. Mikey has done as much or more to make a difference on behalf of the Patriots than any 1,000 combined Pats fans that I know! Mikey s a true inspiration to me, not for his disability, but for his unabashed passion and love for the Patriots and his tenacious grit in his quest to get Deflategate dropped and to get the Patriots Draft Picks back. I am humbled by those virtues and by his efforts; mine pale in comparison to him! I salute Mikey and I am honored that he recently welcomed me and some of my compadres, to "help him fight for justice!" He epitomizes what it is to be a patriot, nothing deters him, no odds are too steep and he leaves no stone unturned when it comes to fighting for justice! Bravo Mikey!!!! YOU INSPIRE ME! Finally, as we come down to the wire, there will be a lot of activities aimed at the NFL. Protests, Boycots the Draft (or at least the 1st round), boycots ESPN & NFL Network, among other things aimed at keeping the white-hot spotlight on Roger Goodell in hopes of, not only ending Deflategate, but ending his tyrannical reign! Thank you again to all for supporting the cause and remember, Patriots #NeverBackDown Respectfully yours, Jim Derochea @jimderochea P.S.
