Forgiving Felons

by Cal Skinner

John Kass has finally given the average guy and gal the tool to contact President George W. Bush concerning Democratic Party United States Senator Dick Durbin's proposal for Bush to commute George Ryan's over six-year sentence.

"You can e-mail Bush at comments@whitehouse.gov," Kass writes, Sunday before publishing Janet Willis' letter to former Governor and Secretary of State Ryan's sentencing judge, Roberta Pallmeyer. The emotion-evoking letter is not an easy read.

And, in Sunday's ABC national news, George Ryan was featured first in its "Forgiving Felons" story.
