Conservatives,
Just-released 911 tapes suggest the "wrong-way Marine," who was arrested for having three legally registered firearms in his vehicle, is telling the truth.
Fox News Latino
reports that upon realizing his mistake, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi called
911 asking for help. "Hi, I'm having a little bit of an emergency
here," he said to the operator. "I am at the border of Mexico right now.
My problem is, I crossed the border by accident and have three guns in
my truck that they are trying to possess."
Following that call, Sgt. Tahmooressi was arrested by Mexican authorities for having those guns and has been imprisoned in Mexico since April 1. Officials there are scheduled to hear testimony from the border guards who made the arrest, but not until May 28.
+ + 4,000 Petitions Needed To Help Jailed Marine
Late last week, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), responding to the sluggish legal process, wrote a letter to Mexico's Attorney General acknowledging the Marine's mistake and asking for his immediate release. That letter was also co-signed by 21 Republican lawmakers who are sensing building outrage from their constituents (especially considering the more than 129,000 illegal Mexicans who have streamed across our border since his arrest).
The national "Free Our U.S. Marine" petition has already gathered more than 16,000 signatures since its launch last week. This outpouring of support is building to a critical petition delivery THIS WEEK to Rep. Hunter and U.S. State Department officials.
Here's what you can do to help:
