Thank you!

It's no secret that we have a wide variety of supporters.

There are atheists, agnostics, evangelicals, protestants, Catholics, Jews, liberals, conservatives...you name it. But there is a two-strand cord that binds us all together: We agree that all prisoners deserve humane treatment, and we believe that wrongful convictions are not acceptable.

It's Christmas Eve, and the holiday weekend is here. I and my family will be in church tonight.

But regardless of where you are, and what you will be doing, I hope that for all of you the weekend will be special; that you will have the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate friends and family.

And during the laughter and gaity, I ask that you take a moment to remember a huge segment of our society under a black cloud this weekend. With more than 2-million people in prison in the United States, please remember not only the incarcerated, but the moms, dads, grandparents, children, relatives and loved ones...all real people, with real feelings and emotions.

And from all of us at HFP---the board, the volunteers, our intern, and the president---please accept our sincere admiration and thanks for daring to get involved. You have held our hand as we walked behind bars. You are helping prisoners on an individual basis to find a bright spot in this holiday season. You are the best!

Doug
