ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

April 3, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Because I did not get a reply from Mr. Jenkins to my numerous 
requests to get an appointment to see him and discuss my husband's 
situation with him, it occurred to me that maybe there is someone in 
his office who does not forward my letters and information to him.  I 
find that hard to believe -  extremely hard to believe! - but it is a 
possibility.  As I already reported, several weeks ago, I did get one 
very formal, non-descript, short letter from Congressman Jenkins, 
saying that he is looking into our situation.  But how, 
specifically? 

A friend of ours, a former Congressman from the West Coast, has 
visited Congressman Jenkins's office twice on our behalf and reported 
back to me that Mr. Jenkins has met with officials of 
Immigration/Homeland Security, who told him the same stinking lies 
that were used when Ernst was arrested in the first place:  that 
there was an immigration irregularity that permitted them to take 
this drastic step.   He "missed an immigration meeting" and 
"overstayed his visa."  For that, banned from the USA for 20 years!

Hogwash!

I did not hear that information from Mr. Jenkins himself, and there 
has been no move on his part that I know of since our friend's visit 
to champion Ernst's cause and get it advanced toward freedom.

I also want to say that I have nothing personal against Mr. Jenkins. 
It is coincidence that he happens to be my  representative, and that 
I live in the district that he represents.  I realize that he is not 
the person with the power and clout to get Ernst released, but 
chances are he knows how it could be effected and could open some 
important doors for me. 

I also realize the realities of getting re-elected - certainly 
Cynthia McKinney found out who it works - and I don't want to hurt 
this man.  I have been told he is a former judge.  From all the 
feedback I have gotten, he is nice, kind, sincere, responsible - at 
least in the eyes of those who have met him or followed his political 
career.  But so far, he has ignored me completely except for that one 
non-committal letter a few weeks ago - and my husband was kidnapped 
on his watch and is still rotting in a Canadian jail in inhuman 
conditions, and something has got to be done!

I know that Congressman Jenkins has been misinformed about me, about 
Ernst, about Holocaust Revisionism, and about what this global 
struggle is really all about.  He will find out, and it will be his 
decision what he will do with that information.  I am quite prepared 
he may not allow me to stay in his office to proceed with my 
political hunger strike, and in that case, I have a fall-back plan 
worked out.  Of course, he has a choice.  He can short-circuit my 
hunger strike right at the beginning by granting me an interview and 
showing some good will by helping me to come up with a realistic plan 
to secure the freedom my husband deserves.

A friend from the South sent me this:

"Dear Ingrid, I faxed numerous "Free Ernst Zundel" faxes to 
Congressman Jenkins's office today and then I telephoned his 
Washington DC Office and asked a Jenkins aide why the Congressman was 
refusing to meet with you. The aide's name was Richard Vaughn and he 
assured me that the Congressman would meet with you anytime you liked 
and was always available to his constituents. Apparently the Fax 
campaign had an impact, or the aide was a liar, which is also a real 
possibility with these politicians. In any case, I wanted you to know 
what Congressman Jenkins's aide Richard Vaughn had to say."

I don't know who Richard Vaughn is - and if he is the person in 
charge of Congressman Jenkins's appointment calendar.  If so, 
this ZGram will be faxed to him 
in a few minutes.  The name that was given to me about a week ago by 
a somewhat huffy lady in the Freeport office, when I called and asked 
for an appointment,  sounded like "Lennard" or "Leonard."  The number 
worked, but an answering machine jumped on.  I left a message with my 
request.  I have yet to receive a reply.

Stay tuned and spread the word that D-Day is approaching. 

Ingrid
