BUNKERVILLE STANDOFF: FREE GREG BURLESON
"I decided to go after I saw the videos of the BLM using their heavy handed techniques of slamming a woman to the ground, whom I found out was Cliven Bundy's 60 year old sister....the tasing of Ammon Bundy and the assault of Davey Bundy by throwing him to the ground grinding his face in the dirt. I knew it was my Constitutional duty to come to the aid of my neighbor and stand with them against a tyrannical overreaching government..."
Greg Burleson statement from prison
"My Friends, we cannot leave this man in prison"
Ammon Bundy Facebook Video 8/16/2018
He was a one time FBI informant but when Greg Burleson saw federal law enforcement attacking Cliven Bundy's sister Margaret Houston and his sons Dave Bundy and Ammon Bundy in videos posted online Burleson knew what his Constitutional duty was.
He went to Bundy Ranch in Nevada to exercise his First and Second Amendment rights in defense of the Bundy's.
Burleson was indicted by the federal government and tried in the first Bunkerville Standoff trial facing a massive amount of felony charges including assault on a federal officer even though no shots were fired nor were there any attacks on federal officers during the April 12, 2014 standoff.
Evidence proving his innocence including the presence of federal government snipers in the area was hidden by prosecutors during his trial and would not be revealed until the third trial later in 2017.
After his conviction on eight felonies, Burleson was sentenced on July 27th, 2017 to 68 years and 3 months in prison, a virtual life sentence.
On Thursday (August 16th) Ammon Bundy posted a video reading Greg Burleson's message from prison and appealed on his behalf.

His condition leaves him vulnerable to the destruction and theft of his property by other prisoners. He says other prisoners are threatening him as well. Burleson has experienced the real horrors of prison life hearing the screams of those being physically and sexually assaulted at Allenwood.
Karen Drum in Pennsylvania has visited Greg in prison and brought his case to the attention of people in high places like Vice-President Mike Pence in person when the VP came for a political visit earlier this year.
Karen has set up a link through the Facebook page linked below where you can donate to Burleson.
I still remember 77 year old Joe Robertson, jailed for breaking the EPA rules by building a pond in Montana, getting the attention of Colorado Congressman Ken Buck. Robertson eventually was taken out of that Colorado prison and moved to a retirement home and VA medical treatment.
Congressman Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania is running for US Senate and I frankly have no interest in supporting him until this prisoner here in the Keystone State, Greg Burleson, is taken care of and released from imprisonment.
