3rd Day of Call-In<br>
WEEK OF SOLIDARITY WITH OSCAR LOPEZ RIVERA<br><br>
Summary of Yesterday, Tuesday, February 1<br><br>
We estimate that the US Parole Board received between 300-350 calls from
Puerto RIco, Mexico and various cities across the US. The phone lines, as
well as the fax line, have been busy for 15-20 minutes at a time. PLEASE
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. KEEP TRYING. Various people have been told that
the only way to make their opinions heard is ONLY through writing. KEEP
CALLING, FAXING AND MAILING YOUR LETTERS TO THE US PAROLE BOARD
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. Spread the word on your personal and organizational
Facebook account. WE WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW AS SOON AS WE HEAR WORD FROM
THE PAROLE COMMISSION.<br><br>
CALL IN TODAY!<br><br>
The US Parole Commission has said they intend to make their decision to
confirm or reject the negative recommendation by the US Parole Examiner
30 DAYS AFTER THE PAROLE HEARING OF JANUARY 5, 2011 on Puerto Rican
Political Prisoner Oscar López Rivera, #87651-024, currently incarcerated
at FCI Terre Haute. Oscar, 68 years old, is presently serving his 30th
year of prison for struggling for Puerto Rican independence. <br><br>
The National Boricua Human Rights Network and the Puerto Rico-based
Comité Pro-Derechos Humanos are urging the parole commissioners to reject
the wrong-headed and politically punitive recommendation of the parole
examiner. We intend to swamp the Parole Board with letters, faxes and
calls until they respond positively. <br><br>
PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING 3 THINGS:<br><br>
1) DAILY CALL-IN CAMPAIGN FOR THIS WEEK (Jan 31-Feb 4): CALL the Parole
Board in support of Oscar Lopez Rivera from 9:00am UNTIL 5:00 PM (EST)
CALL and have others call. It only takes 5 minutes. THE NUMBER IS:
301-492-5990 hit 0 to speak to operator. They will tell you
that you must send your opinion in writing. That is fine. KEEP CALLING
ONCE A DAY UNTIL FRIDAY. PLEASE DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. Sample script is
below.<br><br>
Hi, I'm calling for the release of Oscar Lopez and I live in Chicago [NY,
etc.] The Parole Commission should parole Oscar López # 87651-024
immediately, in spite of the hearing examiner’s recommendation to deny
parole.<br><br>
<i>IF YOU HAVE TIME, USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:<br>
1) Oscar has the support of a broad sector of Puerto Rico’s civil society
as well as Puerto Rican and Latino communities throughout the United
States.<br>
2) Oscar was not accused or convicted of causing injury or taking a life.
He was never accused or convicted of participating in the 1975 Fraunces
Tavern bombing or any other action that resulted in injury or death.<br>
3) President Clinton’s determination that Mr. López Rivera’s sentence was
disproportionately lengthy, and his offer that would have resulted in Mr.
López Rivera’s release in September of 2009.<br><br>
</i> <br>
2) <b>Download the attached letter and fax it right away. </b>(<b>FAX NO:
301/492-5543</b>)<br>

decision by Feb. 4. Get as many of your friends, family. colleagues and
