We the people ask President Obama to commute Sholom Rubashkin sentence to time served.

Created by M.S. on January 11, 2017

51 Congressmen have thus far written to AG Eric Holder to investigate this case for alleged prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, as well as the fairness of Rubashkin’s 27-year sentence.
On May 3, 2011, at a once-a-year House Oversight Hearing of the Judiciary Committee at which AG Eric Holder testified, two members of Congress (Debbie Wasserman Schultz D-FL and Sheila Jackson Lee D-TX) publicly mentioned the case of Sholom Rubashkin to the AG.
In July of 2011, seventy-five law professors and US Attorneys sent a letter to Attorney General Holder urging an investigation into prosecutorial misconduct.
27 years is to much to sit for such a case.
president Obama we ask from you to please do justice and let our dear Sholom -a father of 10 children including a special needs child-OUT!
