</tt><pre>Freedom for Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald Long Awaited
“Longest-Held Black Panther Party Political Prisoner in U.S.”
</b></pre><tt> Imperial, California. </tt><font size=3>At 1:30
p.m. on September 26, 2007, Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald will once again go
before the California Board of Parole Hearingsafter 38 years of unjust
incarceration! </font><tt> <br>
</tt><font size=3> <br>
Chip, imprisoned since 1969, is serving a life sentence for a crime he
did not commit. Factual government public files have exposed that
the FBI and other policing agencies had strategic orders to neutralize
and destroy the Black Panther Party after then-FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover issued his infamous dictum, in 1968, that “the Black Panther Party
was the greatest threat to the internal security of the United
States.” As part of that campaign, many Party leaders were
assassinated and falsely imprisoned. Chip Fitzgerald was one of
them.<br>
Chip’s many supporters include Compton, California, City Attorney LeGrand
Clegg, Compton City Councilwoman Barbara Calhoun, and former Chairman of
the Black Panther Party, political activist and author Elaine Brown. He
also has the support of Representative Maxine Waters and the Monterey
Peninsula Branch of the NAACP, which accepted Mr. Fitzgerald as a member
in 1999. He has long been supported by countless community-based
organizations.<br>
Chip Fitzgerald’s incarceration has far exceeded the maximum amount of
time he should have served under his sentence. His supporters are
now demanding of the Board that, in accordance with state law, Chip
finally be released and allowed to return to a supportive community that
will assist him with education, health care and employment. They
are encouraging all those seeking justice in this country and around the
world to write letters of support to the Board:<br><br>
