Don’t forget there are others in jail with a somewhat Mumia like scenario

Janet Holloway Africa and Debbie Sims Africa are up for parole and letters in their behalf to the parole board in the next maybe only ten days are very critical.

PLEASE SOMEONE MORE COMPUTER LITERATE THAN ME, HELP ME POST CHUCK AFRICA'S CALL THAT DIEING PRISONERS BE GRANTED THE RIGHT TO DIE IN THE PRESENCE OF THEIR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AS A STORY, IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF THOSE THAT GLANCE THE INTERNET DON'T THINK I WROTE IT.

Thirty years ago a police officer was shot dead, but Janet a 57-year-old grandmother, longing to visit her grandchildren before she dies, clearly never even held a gun much less threatened anybody with a gun. This was before video games taught people to shot without practice with a real gun. This was before civilization slowly began to put the women in charge of the Move organization. In the beginning Move felt that fathers were expected by mother nature, to care and defend their wives and children.

Write the parole board. You can also write each individual member, but if so each letter has be individually crafted, and in no way look like a form letter, so I better let you find out each of their names by yourself.

Please write to Chairman Catherine C. McVey,
Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole,
Attn: Inmate Inquiry,
1101 South Front Street, Suite 5300,
Harrisburg, PA 17104

In 1981 Mumia Abu Jumal was shot once and a police officer shot twice, once from a distance and once close up. Mumia’s brother reported his business partner Kenneth Freeman or Poppi shot a policeman once and ran away. Another person claimed that Mumia emptied a gun into a police officer from close range. I’m not sure but possibly no one actually claimed to witness a badly wounded Mumia run up close, shoot a reportedly whistle blowing police officer again, then stagger back am not sure but perhaps all the way back to the curb where Mumia was first shot to collapse into unconsciousness on the curb.

Eisenhower warned of a Military-Industrial-Complex the kind of people who fear Oboma might eliminate their lucrative defense jobs. Skinheads are being urged to attack the Philadelphia pro Mumia rally on April 19, in Philadelphia in time for Fox News and the Philadelphia Inquirer to put the issue of racism, on the table right before the April 22, Pennsylvania primary vote. The Philadelphia Inquirer claims to be for Obama but I don’t believe it.

I urge a silent Mumia rally to discourage racial stereotyping. I hope major Obama politicians like Rep. Chaka Fattah would write public letters in Debbie and Janet’s behalf to the parole board today, or better yet the seven Move defendants be granted parole today. Please every peace loving person forward this information around. Pennsylvania Governor Rendell is a Hillary supporter so the authorities might not be as consistent as they could be at preventing trouble.

Personally I'm scared that I may end up fearing World War III under McCain like I did under Reagan.

I am personally embarrassed at the wording of the above paragraph, but want to post Chuck Africa’s plea to the world, and I’d be embarrassed to do so in the same email if I worded the above differently. Anyway, a letter slightly different from the above two paragraphs was changed into a short letter by the Philadelphia Metro. It would be effective if this is posted with other people’s introduction as well and translated into the languages of the world? And maybe in the next seven days the Pope and Dalai Lama could send letters in Debbie and Janet’s behalf.

Chuck Africa’s is referred to as one of the Move 9 but his parole hearing is a month later than the others. He has a unique personal project that may or may not relate to his relationships with Move or Mumia. He wants prisoners who are on their death bed to be allowed to die in the presence of their friends and family.

In the next month or two, his manuscript should be published all over the world even in China where instead of imprisoning Move they would have been executed and their body parts sold for organ transplants.

If he gets parole two months from now, he can spend the next 11 months finding new ways to try to get his fellow Move members to obtain probation, and perhaps not only succeed in changing the way the earth deals with dying prisoners, but also to some extent bring back in focus John Africa’s call that relying on civilization not our natural abilities endowed to us by mother nature, to understand the world, may be a mistake.

Hint at what John Africa noted: When the tsunamis struck all the animals, but none of the people except an isolated group, barely in touch with civilization, knew it was coming.

Chuck's prison appeal in behalf of the dying prisoners follows:

I hope everyone in contact with publications and web sights can urge it to be printed and posted. You can google “A sea of apathy floods the cell blocks and corridors” and/or www.onamove.com, and scrawl half way down the page.

From Chuck Africa ONA MOVE!

I write this letter to communicate a grave concern of mine and maybe yours once reading this.

A sea of apathy floods the cell blocks and corridors of Graterford State Prison as scores of elderly/terminally ill inmates are dying at a rapid and alarming pace. The mere fact of anybody dying is not remarkable by itself; but cold indifference can border on the inhumane when people capable of easing needless suffering fail to act. It is not my intent to suggest that there is a quick fix to a complex situation involving many individuals. However, I do know that there are certain men here who you have observed closely over the years that deserve to be released from this institution.

Counselors, Staffers, Administrators, Psychologists, Guards and Religious Authorities: You have all at various times interrelated with and gotten to know the character of many men here and you can make common sense evaluations and intelligent recommendations regarding this dire situation. Where there is clearly no valid reason pursuant to humanity to continue holding terminally ill men there should be alternatives. I realize that there are more priorities in the world that over shadow that of prisoners and this is not a call to lift the needs and concerns of prisoners above others; it is simply an attempt by me to shed light on a crisis here that requires special attention. Me expressing it with such urgency comes from the real fact that I watch Mr. Edward Williams (Abdullah Shah) AF-4687 wither away before me on A-Block. He is clearly ailing. And I’ve recently observed the late Jerry Mims’ last days as a walking dead man. Helpless and harmless. (1)

The bulletin boards continue to announce more memorials as dead faces line the walls on an almost daily basis. Surely some of these men could’ve/can have a positive impact on the communities outside. There can never be enough wisdom out there that people can benefit from. Especially in the wake of the vicious streak of violence plaguing the inner cities.

Finally, while death is inevitable to us all, in here and out there; terminally ill men should at least get to spend their last days of breathing with family and friends. Along with this letter to prison officials I’m calling on all Ministers, Guards, Rabbis, Chaplains, Priests, and Imams to have the courage as men; the moral imperative as spiritual guides; and the willingness to adhere to your conscience as human beings and do what’s right: Put forth an intense effort to gain the release of some fathers and grandfathers who continue to languish in here unjustly (in every sense of the word) and without any more clear penological and rehabilitative purpose.

The months of April and May of this year alone have had more than twelve deaths.

Charles Sims Africa, AM-4975
A-Block A1-015

(1) One of many who’ve succumbed to a terminal illness and is now deceased. And I have witnessed many other stricken men die in similar fashion between 2002-2007.
