It’s 3 days before Christmas and it looks like my “Christmas Wish” is not coming true again this year. In all actuallity, I wish everyday for George to be free. I guess I still feel the “little kid in me anticipation” of having that one “Wish” at Christmas time answered.

I have tried and tried to bring recognition to the fact that George is ready to come home. His sentence of LIFE NO PAROLE is nuts. I have emailed, snail mailed, called, and visited with everyone I can to get George some kind of relief from this crazy sentence (by the way, this will be George’s 25th Christmas in federal prison). George let greed and stupidity lure him into the crazy drug world WAY WAY back in 81-82-he plead guilty to his NON-VIOLENT 1st time offenses. He got what I see as basically a “DEATH SENTENCE” – how is it that, child molesters, rapist and other VIOLENT criminals get little and sometimes NO JAIL TIME???

George has hope; something he passes onto me everytime I have contact with him. I think, danm, if George can handle 25 years of the shit he has been dealt while imprisoned, I can handle what comes my way out here. I just don’t wish for George to be free, I wish for George to be free so that he can share his talents and qualities he has attained, all while caged. He is an amazing man. He has earned and deserves a “second chance”.

You can see, hear and feel who he is in his writings-as I have told many, “I don’t know who George was 25 years ago, but, after 6 years of being his best friend, I can tell you who he is today”. Fact is, he has more than paid for his crimes and needs to be released—Which again brings me to my “Christmas Wish” FREE GEORGE MARTORANO-ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
