Dear Editor/Media Outlets/Senators/Congressmen痴/Governor/Mayor/Civil Rights Organizations/Pastors/Concern Citizens/Activist/Anybody!

On 26 August 2003, at the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners Meeting---the concerns of eleven (11)-jailed inmates were presented to County Elected Officials. These inmates asked for assistance in getting an outside agency into the jail to investigate an incident that occurred on 23 July 2003---in Cell B1, between 8-8:30AM.

I handed an official statement to the Chairperson Joyce Evans (dated 24 July 2003), written on Sheriffs Office Operational Division Statement Form, notarized and signed by eleven Citizens of the United States.

Also, provided was a letter addressed to me from inmates, and a list of questions from Civil Action 89-54-VAL, that I felt would help insure the Constitutional Rights and State Rights of all inmates be respected.

· EXCERPTS FROM THE FOUR (4) PAGES OF INMATES STATEMENT!

- On 23 July 2003, between 8-8:30 AM a deputy pulled out a pistol like object and waved it around before aiming squarely at an inmate, we had trouble getting this statement notarized by jail official (I am not signing a damn thing (name withheld), officers routinely taunts and agitates inmates. No one will listen to us; it is cruel to keep a man in cell B1, without ventilation and no air conditioning. We need help from an outside agency --- please help us Minister Rhynes. We have exhausted all our avenues.
Considering the seriousness of this incident, it is mind boggling--- as to why our local news paper The Valdosta Daily Times selected not to inform the Citizens of Lowndes County about these desperate and hopeless citizens behind bars.

To better understand this South Georgia Town, one must review a documentary video tape put together by Valdosta State University Anthropology Class entitled 鄭 Chorus of Fear, and review Civil Action #89-54-VA, Class Action dated 6 June 1989, and follow-up thereto. Dorthea Paterson vs. Lowndes County Georgia filed in U.S. District Court of Middle Georgia, Valdosta Division.

As we seek to liberate the people of Iraq. We also need to liberate ourselves from alleged censorship, and the denial of our neighbors Constitutional, and State Rights, (See Civil Action #89-54-VAL).

These eleven (11) inmates cannot speak for themselves ---so what elected official, mass media outlet, activist, Pastor, Rabbi, Imam, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or Humanitarian 殆ill help (Luke 4:18)? S.O.S. is anybody listening out there? Hello! Before another tragedy happens in this South Georgia Town!
