Dear Friends & Comrades:

It is really important that we keep the pressure on! I called the
Governor's number today, and they have it on an answering machine. In
addition to leaving a message, I faxed and emailed the governor regarding
Bashir Hameed #82-A-6313.

Let's tie up those fax machines and the mail as well. The letter I emailed
and faxed will be going in the mail tomorrow.

I also called and faxed both Commissioner Brian Fischer and Chief Medical
Officer Dr. Lester Wright. Their letters will be mailed tomorrow as well.

Dear Friends & Comrades;
I received word from Dr. Courtnie York, Bashir Hameed's niece after her
visit with him today. She is extremely concerned and asked our help in
getting Bashir removed from Comstock Prison to the Albany Medical Center.

She is concerned because he is having chest pains, shortness of breath and
has a fluid buildup in his stomach. Also his legs and feet are swollen. She
is very concerned because he has not had a check up this year by the doctor
who did his open heart surgery.

We suggest you call, fax and write:
Gov. David Paterson: Phone 518-474-8390; fax 518-474-1513
David A. Paterson, State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224
or you can e-mail him at http://161.11.121.121/govemail

Dr. Lester Wright: Phone 518-457-8126; fax 518-457-7252
Commissioner Brian Fischer: Phone 518-457-8134; fax 518-457-7252

You can write to both of them at:

NYS Dept. of Correctional Services
Building 2
1220 Washington Ave.
Albany, NY 12226-2050

As you know, we have had an ongoing campaign to get Bashir the health care
he needs as well as a transfer out of Comstock, which has become
increasingly dangerous for Bashir's health. PLEASE take the time to call
for our brother and comrade. If you have time please let us know what
response you received.

You can also write to Bashir. We are sure he would appreciate it.

Bashir Hameed #82-A-6313,
Great Meadow Correctional Facility
Box 51, Comstock, NY 12821
