Please Sign the Petition

I'd like to ask a favor, please sign the petition against the charges brought on Juan Ruiz. Juan was at a recent San Diego protest and bumped into a border patrol agent, he was then thrown to the ground, jumped on by several border patrol agents, and then charged with felony assault of a federal officer! Juan is a permanent legal resident of the US, but now faces deportation to Colombia! Juan does not deserve to be deported. He is an intelligent young man (21-years-old) who was exercising his right to free speech and assembly! He does not have any immediate friends or family in Colombia, and if he is deported is will be a complete travesty of justice. I have met Juan and I can attest to the fact that he is a thoughtful, idealist, sincere person and poses no threat to the United States. Anyone who cares about this country would actually want people like Juan in it. Here is a link to a site where you can read more, and sign the petition. Site and Petition. Thanks.
