For those of you who don't know who Don Siegelman is, or why he is serving a lengthy prison term for a crime he didn't commit, please go to:
http://free-don.org

There, you can read the entire sordid story of how a very popular Democratic governor of a very Republican state (Alabama).was railroaded by Karl Rove, Jack Abramoff and others..including the wife of Karl Rove's best friend, (the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted Governor Siegelman) and Karl Rove's client, who was the Attorney General.
You can also sign the Change.org Petition To President Obama To Pardon Don Siegelman there.



For those who DO know who Don Siegelman is,
you can read the latest update on the Siegelman case;.."More Bad News For Don Siegelman" which was posted yesterday, Oct. 16, 2014

Also, for info on how the Justice Department actually asked the judge in the Siegelman case to INCREASE the length of his prison term, read what Andrew Kreig wrote.
..Andrew Kreig has written before about the Siegelman case.
