Free Marine John Hammer from a Mexican Prison who was imprisoned on trumped up charges.

Created by E.S. on December 21, 2012

Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican and Marine combat veteran, called on Americans Thursday to boycott Mexico until that nation releases Jon Hammar, a former U.S. marine, from prison.
Hammar had registered the shotgun, a Sear & Roebuck model that once belonged to his great-grandfather, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on the U.S. side of the border.
After being told by U.S. agents the shotgun posed no problem and could be reigstered in Mexico, Hammar and McDonough crossed the border, tried to declare the weapon, and found themselves behind bars.
Mexican authorities are holding Mr. Hammer on weapons charges after he carried his grandfather's antique shotgun
across the border into Mexico in August.
The President and State Department need to get involved.
