An earlier petition was submitted on May 1, 2014 requesting President Obama get involved in securing the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison. Prior to the deadline of May 31 to obtain 100,000 signatures, the petition had reached 131,663. President Obama has ignored this petition while Sgt. Tahmorressi sits unaided in a Mexican prison. This man served our country honorably and the failure to make his release a priority is shameful. President Obama is commander-in-chief, yet refuses to acknowledge a veteran wrongfully imprisoned. Please act and don't let Sgt. Tahmorressi spend another day in prison.
