Dear AGIF Commander Tony Morales, If It Was Not You Personally; Who Authorized the Community Prosperity Partnership With LULAC?

October 27, 2006

Reference: Community Prosperity Partnership

AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) Commander Antonio Morales

Dear Commander Morales:

Subject: 1st LULAC/CPP Hispanic American Veteran's Affair's Summit

Concerns of an ongoing Coup De Maitre have been brought to our attention regarding the AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) Partnership with LULAC and the conflicting interest involving Veteran’s Affairs. The first issue stems from the LULAC platform regarding the exclusion of Americans. The American GI Forum represents American Soldiers, their Widows and their children. There is no stipulation that they be Latin American, only that they are American. The next issue addresses LULAC and the involvement in Veteran’s Affairs. We are not opposed to the involvement in goodwill but the redirection of finances for the benefit of LULAC and the exclusion of the AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) Jurisdiction with respect to Veteran’s Affairs. LULAC endeavors not to represent American Soldiers as a whole but only the Latin American Soldiers. The AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) cannot allow the progress it has made involving Veterans’ Affairs and it’s important role as THE American Soldier’s Advocate to be usurped / relinquished. Furthermore, participation in this event compromises the principles on which the AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) is founded. Should this Partnership continue as it is, the AMERICAN G I FORUM’s funding (Grant Monies, Military Training, Workshops etc..) will be compromised and reduced significantly? Did the AMERICAN G I FORUM (AGIF) authorize this partnership? If so, please explain how this decision circumvented the members and who authorized the partnership?

Respectfully,

Letter from Ramsey Muniz =in Exile

transcribed by dannoynted1 on 10/26/2006

Hermano Joe,

Enclosed herein you will find a copy of the letter that I submitted to attorney Domingo Garcia in Dallas. In reality, this is the first time I have shared with the entire world the pain, suffering, and sacrifice I have endured for the last 13 years. There is no question in my heart that once I'm transferred to an FCI in Texas I will immediately re/open my case and prove once and for all the gross blatant injustices committed against me and my family. Yes, I'm a Mexican political prisoner and if I'm not then why have they kept me in exile and solitary confinement for 13 years- why?

Please feel free to follow/ up on those who I submitted a copy of my letter to.

Especially the politicians involved…

Again, I thank you for your most profound consideration and assistance. I pray that soon we will visit in Texas…

In Exile,

Ramsey Muniz

P.S. New committees for my freedom are being formed at this time in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.

Domingo,

I pray that upon receipt of this letter, you and your family are in the best of health and happiness.

As you well know, I'm trying to return to Texas after 13 years in exile. After my near/death illness and confined in the hole in Springfield Medical Federal Facility, I was of the opinion that because of my health I would be transferred to an FCI facility in Texas.

Instead, I was chained and shackled in the middle of the night and in the dawn of the morning. I find myself in one of America's highest security penitentiary. Constantly, we are in lock/down status, which means I'm confined in my 6x9 cell twenty-four hours a day.

Anyone who desires will find, as a matter of law I'm entitled to be incarcerated in a Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) and not in a penitentiary. My institutional record clearly reflects I have never received an institutional disciplinary incident report in 13 years. Which in the language of Bureau of Prisons, it would make me a model prisoner….

Further, my trial sentencing transcript reflects that it was the "legal intentions" of federal Judge Brown in Sherman, Texas, that I be confined at Three Rivers Federal Correctional Institution in Three Rivers, Texas. Instead, I was chained and shackled the next day and for the last 12 years, I was incarcerated at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. It has been extremely difficult to live with the fact and truth that my CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS under the United States Constitution of America have been purposely and maliciously violated by the Bureau of Prisons.

The violation of my Fifth Amendment, Due Process of the law (the bureau of Prisons and the United States Marshall's Office decided to disregard the legal Judicial intentions of Federal Judge Brown),

The violation of my Eighth Amendment, Cruel and unusual punishment (my incarceration in America's hardest/core penitentiaries for the last 12 years has been cruel and unusual punishment since I have never been a violent individual and/or committed any physical acts of violence),

The violation of my Fourteenth Amendment, Equal Protection of the law,( the law judicially delegated and declared in open court that I be confined in a federal correctional institution(FCI). Instead, I continue to find myself confined to one of the highest security penitentiary's in America.

Domingo, with the facts enclosed, as they exist this very day, please be so kind as to share the same with the united states congresswoman, Ms.B. Johnson, from Dallas, and any other representative that should uphold the legal rights of those who deem a rightful legal solution. I'm 64 Years Old , and unable to walk without the assistance of a cane, and yet I find myself in a most violent and cruel situation and conditions, enough is enough, 13 years of the same is not fair to anyone in the united states of America. Again, I thank you for your assistance and consideration in this most dreadful and dark conditions…

Sinceramente,

Ramsey Muniz

Officials with the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Founding Chapter of the American GI Forum appointed a commander, vice commander, secretary and treasurer


Oscar Guerra will lead the chapter as commander


Officers appointed for GI Forum

Interim posts can be designated until quorum is present

By Barbara Ramirez Caller Times
October 1, 2006




The founding chapter of the American GI Forum hopes the appointment Saturday of four interim officers - including the commander and vice-commander - will help renew the organization that has seen a rocky year.

Officials with the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Founding Chapter of the American GI Forum appointed a commander, vice commander, secretary and treasurer to serve until September 2007, according to Cecilia Akers, Garcia's daughter and a lifetime member of the chapter.

Oscar Guerra will lead the chapter as commander, replacing Juventino Ortiz. Jose Espinoza was appointed vice commander; Cyruss Mallison as secretary; and Ron Garza as treasurer.

Each will serve until the founding chapter holds elections for new officers. New officers could not be elected because a quorum was not present at the meeting, which was approved by the national GI Forum and is one of the provisions that allowed the chapter to be reinstated this year.

Akers said state chapter officers would research the national constitution to ensure Mallison and Garza may serve if elected. Neither are veterans.

Ortiz, who said Friday the Saturday meeting was being held against some local members' wishes, called the appointments a fiasco.

"If the forum ceases to exist like it is now, we're looking at major problems," he said.

The chapter has faced numerous issues in recent months, including suspension and reinstatement in the national organization regarding financial documents the founding chapter did not hand over for an audit.

Part of the reinstatement agreement was to elect new officers, said C.P. Garcia, state commander of the American GI Forum.

Guerra said his duty is to help restore the organization.

"I know it's going to be hard to bring it up to standards, but God willing, we'll get there," said Guerra, an Air Force veteran who served in the Korean War.

Akers said the reorganization was designed to rebuild the chapter.

"We need to start following the agenda to help veterans and their families," Akers said. "We feel that the chapter can now move forward and get the negative publicity out of Corpus Christi."
