We've put any media articles on Pol in the media section so if anyone sees a story on Pol and we don’t have it on site can they provide a link. Pol is actively contacting media outlets direct and has asked that if anyone has an Irish radio program or they know of Irish papers journalists etc that would be willing to hear from Pol to contact us information [at] polbrennan.com and we will give Pol that information so he can contact them, Pol feels that direct contact from him is very important to his fight against deportation.
We are urging everyone to contact their elected representatives especially those in Barbara Lees district the point being to encourage her office to put what ever pressure they can on the Chertoff office to get them to drop their objection to bail. According to the senior case worker in Lees office they have some jurisdiction in this matter Joanna Jim Bryne and Randy met with Elaine McKellar, Senior Case Worker and went away with the opinion that that she seemed willing and able to help. Politicians are generally motivated by quantities of constituents and if letters of support for Pol arrive in numbers then it might keep Pol’s folder near the top of things to do.
While Barbara Lees constituents would take priority letters from others will definitely do no harm. The address to write to is The Honorable Barbara Lee 1301 Clay Street, Suite 1000-N Oakland, CA 94612 C/O Elaine McKellar, Senior Case Worker We wish to thank everyone for their great support of Pol and Joanna and to continue to pass the word encouraging friends and family to support Pol in whatever way they can. Send Pol a short letter or card with a 5 or 10 dollar note in it allows Pol the ability to stay in touch with family and friends and lets him contact people direct by phone, This is Pols lifeline and thanks to friends and supporters he is able to continue to do this so please continue passing the word it is of vital assistance.
You can write to Pol at; Pol Brennan #A88 785 324 Port Isabel Detention Center Delta 1 27991 Buena Vista Blvd Los Fresnos, TX 78566
