Thanks For Your Support
The powers that be often make my communications a bureaucratic impossibility. I do my best to respond to every letter I receive and all those that have helped make my time easier by helping me with funds so that I can have the few necessities and creature comforts I am allowed. Prison is as you might imagine fraught with difficulties and frustrations. But I am very lucky to have so many great and caring people in my corner. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the worldwide movements for Animal Liberation and Total Liberation.
Whenever I have been down your letters have lifted me up and in a prison system that constantly wants you to internalize negative attitudes about yourself, you have reminded me time and time again about the compassion of our cause. Far from being ‘terrorists’ as the governments try to paint us. We are the roadblocks to their state and corporate sponsored terrorism against Animals, Earth and Humans. I thank every Straight Edge kid that has written me to tell me I am not forgotten, every Vegan that has shared their stories of triumph and frustration. Thank you for all the Animal pictures and for every one of their lives that have been saved and enriched because of your care or concern.
As many of you know I am under restrictive oppressions. Even within prison I am singled out of hundreds of thousands of inmates and segregated on a unit as a ‘domestic terrorist’. I have been in this situation since my arrest in 2010, not because of what I have done. The crime of arson is mild compared with the child molesters and murders that enjoy general population status within federal prisons. I am here because of who I am, what I believe and my unapologetic stance. I fully expect to spend the rest of my prison sentence in the CMU. Because if a stipulation of my release form these units is to quit caring and quit speaking out, than I am afraid these are the two things that I simply cannot do.
And don’t you stop caring and speaking out either! If I can care and continue from a cage, and the Animals still care about their lives in a cage, than you can care too!
Once again thank you all great and small, for sticking with me until all are free.
For Liberation,
Walter
