My two brothers and I (all in university/high school) recently returned from a trip to Washington, DC where we met with our representatives in the Senate and State Department asking for help on our father's behalf. Like all previous trips to DC, we returned home with little hope and less support. During the past 4 years of my father's unjust incarceration he's been writing novels and short stories to occupy his time. We're currently looking for a reporter/author who finds interest in our story and might be inclined to help us get it published. You can find more information on our website at www.johnwdowns.com or my blog margaretdowns.blogspot.com. Thank you so much for your time and dedicated reporting. Margaret Downs Mr. Worthington,
