Se los dejo a su libre albedrio.
Gracias a todos por darse el tiempo de leerlo.

This was a hate crime: urge the Dept. of Justice to prosecute it as oneDear David,
Last year a group of teenagers brutally murdered Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania.

As Luis lay unconscious at their feet, the teens yelled to a young woman by his side: "Tell your effin Mexican friends to get the eff out of Shenandoah or you're going to be laying next to him!"

Just last week an all-white jury found the teens "not guilty" of the serious charges of third-degree murder and ethnic intimidation. The ruling was greeted with cheers in the courtroom, and gasps of disbelief from Luis's grieving fiancee and children.

Today we're asking you to join with us and our friends at the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund (MALDEF) to demand justice for Luis, his children, and his fiancee.

Sign the petition to the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Demand that they prosecute Luis's murder as a federal Hate Crime:

Afterward, the head of the jury said publicly "I believe strongly that some of the people on the jury were racist." He said that some "had their minds made up maybe before the first day."

Hate crimes against immigrants are on the rise across the country.
Law experts on CNN have argued that "the only reason [Luis] is dead is because he was Mexican." It's becoming clear that in that courtroom an undocumented Mexican immigrant was seen as less than a man.

Make sure justice is served for Luis Ramirez and the loved ones he left behind -- sign the petition and forward it widely:

Together we can stand up to forces of extremism that threaten our country's best values by playing upon our worst instincts.

Please send this email to 10 of your friends and loved ones now.

Thanks for everything you're doing,

Adam Luna
