Michael's Monthly Message for November 2007

November 12, 2007

Hi Everyone,

Michael's monthly message for November is online at: http://www.freemichaelnow.com/monthly_messages.html

In this month's message Michael talks about Thanksgiving and what it means to him; he speaks about forgiveness, forgiving, and being thankful for his family, friends and supporters. I found it to be a very uplifting message.

In other news Michael is now at Old Colony Correctional Center (OCCC) making the necessary adjustments to his new environment. Those of you planning a visit to OCCC or writing a letter to Michael the information may be found at: http://www.freemichaelnow.com/send_letter.html

I have some very good news to report regarding donations to Michael's defense fund. We have raised the first $5,000.00 (our goal remains to raise $20,000.00) and I will be sending off the signed Engagement Agreement letter along with a check for $5,000.00 to Nardizzi & Associates, Inc. so they can begin their investigation into Michael's wrongful conviction. This will take time and money but at least we're getting started, and I'm optimistic that John Nardizzi and NEIP will be able to uncover something that may result in a new trial for Michael or better yet an exoneration. John Nardizzi and a member from the New England Innocence Project (NEIP) are planning a visit with Michael next week at OCCC to review the "game plan" for the first phase of the investigation. I, like Michael, am extremely grateful for having these people supporting and working on Michael's case.

I ask those who have not contributed yet to please consider a donation to Michael's defense fund. Information regarding contributions to this fund may be found at: http://www.freemichaelnow.com/funding_investigative_services.html

I want to thank all of you for your prayers, support and donations on behalf of Michael.

Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you.

Dick
