A friend of mine has posted a request via his MySpace, which I've reposted below. Even if you cannot donate to the cause, my friend is asking for PRAYERS to free his friend Eric, an innocent man, from imprisonment in Nicaragua. If we could all pray, send positive energy, white magick for the highest good of all if that's what your personal approach is, whatever works for you, then this is for a good cause. The more positive energy we can generate for this man's freedom, the better! MySpace bulletin below.------ THE ERIC VOLZ STORY- PLEASE READ!!!!!!
I implore any of you that consider me a friend or a peer, or someone to listen to, to go to this site- www.friendsofericvolz.com Listen to a modern tragedy that is an attack on Freedom as we know it....Eric was unjustly imprisoned in Nicaragua for a crime that he obviously could not have committed.....no identifiable proof of any kind, apparent ignorance of facts, discrimination and a corrupt Nicaraguan System have sentenced a 27 year old American to 30 years hard time in a foreign prison.... please take the time to read his story, pray and help in anyway that you can. peace to all of you. Kevin Max If you are receiving this message, then you are aware of the fight to free Eric Volz.
We need your help now more than ever because Eric's life is on the line, and his peers can do something about it. His family and friends urge you to give $5 and forward this story on to everyone you know. Eric's generation is that of social media. Let us harness its full potential by igniting a fire of fury online. Add Eric as your friend and let's begin the fight to bring him home. http://www.myspace.com/freeericvolz Add Eric as a friend on my space, and please pass on the message below. You can post it as a bulletin, and if you know and love Eric like we do – send a personal message to all your friends telling them to get involved and get angry about the injustice Eric is facing. free•dom (noun) 1. the state of being able to act or live as one chooses, unconfined and unimprisoned 2. something too often taken for granted by those who enjoy it What would you do if your freedom – or that of a loved one – was suddenly taken away? That's exactly what happened to this 27-year-old business person and publisher of EP magazine, Eric Volz of Nashville, Tennessee. Eric is our brother, our son, our friend, our neighbor. He is currently languishing in a maximum security penitentiary in Nicaragua for a crime he never committed. Please take a minute to learn about the tragic plight of Eric Volz - then help us in our fight to free him. Because next time it could be your brother, your son, your friend, or your neighbor whose freedom has been taken away.

Geez, GL75 - What a brutal story! The poor man! Why do you suppose that judge is so determined to nail Eric to the wall on this, inspite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary? Do you think it may be because he's American? I do. I believe this is a very clear demonstation of the anti-American form of what amounts to hateful racism. (although, it's not really racism, because Americans are of all races - but, it sure has all the classic symptoms of racism)Just curious, what is the money to be used for? To bribe the judge? I'm sure a million dollars, offered on the sly would free him. ps: I will definately pour some love/light energy into the ethers on his behalf! IP: Logged |

The money that is donated is to pay for his legal defence... however, prayers/energy/anything of the like are equally appreciated.Thank you, you two. I think all of us here at LL can work together to generate a lot of good energy for this man... IP: Logged |

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, GL. It's a very tragic story. I will pray for Eric and his family and also send in a donation to help with his legal defense. I was wondering if anyone has contacted Amnesty International or other organizations who work to free those wrongly jailed in all countries of the world. Also the more media attention it gets in this country the more pressure that will put on the Nicaraguan government to do the just and fair thing. This sounds like a story that 60 Minutes would air. I agree that everything that has happened does sound like anti-american sentiment has had a lot to do with the unjust trial and sentence of Eric. Otherwise why would the judge not allow any of the forensic evidence that would clear Eric to be presented? Thanks so much for posting the web-site. I am sure his family and friends are keeping it updated with any new developments. I will check it from time to time for updates. IP: Logged |

Thank you so much, Mirandee. I don't even know Eric personally, but he's a friend of a friend. He's putting the word out on MySpace, so hopefully all of his other MySpace friends are spreading the word too. Feel free to repost this bulletin on other forums too. Edit: Hi BUD! IP: Logged |
