Analyst's note:  Wonder what you, the American citizen, can do to really support our military ... at least on this one point to free Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison.  U.S. Marines are NOT lab rats in a social experiment by Obama and his "usful idiots."  Semper Fidelis

******

Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has been held in a Mexican prison for over 100 days, and President Obama hasn’t spoken a word or lifted a finger to help get him released.

Tahmooressi and his mother Jill have made several attempts to call on the U.S. government to respond to this incident and help bring the young man back home, but have received no response.

A petition, which reached the 100,000 signature requirement a month ago, has been completely ignored by the Obama administration, making it apparent that the life of an American soldier is nowhere near the top of the president’s priority list, though amnesty for illegals seems to be.

This inaction by Obama has angered Americans, and many have held rallies and demonstrations at the border calling for Tahmooressi’s release.

Col. Oliver North appeared recently on Greta Van Susteren’s Fox News program to speak about this horrible situation, as well as penning a detailed opinion piece for the media outlet, launching a movement to free Tahmooressi from his captors.

via Fox News:

"Apparently breaking the law is no problem for the Obama administration. He has often bragged, “If Congress won’t act, I will. I have a pen and a phone.” In other words, he is willing to issue Executive Orders to dictate what he wants done.

And now, we have yet another example of presidential law-breaking. This one doesn’t require the courts to intervene – just “We The People” need to act. Here’s the law:

U.S. Code, Title 22, Chapter 23, Section 1732. It is entitled, “Release of citizens imprisoned by foreign governments.”

Whenever it is made known to the President that any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by or under the authority of any foreign government, it shall be the duty of the President forthwith to demand of that government the reasons of such imprisonment; and if it appears to be wrongful and in violation of the rights of American citizenship, the President shall forthwith demand the release of such citizen, and if the release so demanded is unreasonably delayed or refused, the President shall use such means, not amounting to acts of war and not otherwise prohibited by law, as he may think necessary and proper to obtain or effectuate the release; and all the facts and proceedings relative thereto shall as soon as practicable be communicated by the President to Congress.

One need not be a vaunted “Constitutional lawyer” or even a “Nobel Laureate” like our current head of state to see how this law relates directly to the case of U.S. Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi – now enduring his fourth month in a Mexican prison.

Members of Congress from Florida, California and elsewhere have written nearly a dozen letters to the president about Sgt. Tahmooressi. More than 100,000 Americans have responded to online petitions at WhiteHouse.gov; FoxNews.com, FreedomAlliance.org and AndrewFreedomFund.com, among others have written about his plight.

Our president has ignored them all. Apparently he’s been too busy with political fundraisers and vacuous speeches about the “Republican war on women,” economic injustice, and Congressional ineptness. There just hasn’t been time to pick up that famous phone and call Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

If Congress can’t get Obama’s attention on freeing an unjustly imprisoned Marine, We The People must. Join the effort to demand that our president obey the law. Otherwise the phrase “Leave no one behind,” is meaningless."

Once again, it appears that President Obama is breaking the law, using a technicality as an “out” to prevent being held accountable for his inaction to free Sgt. Tahmooressi.

It seems rather clear that Congress isn’t going to do much to force the president to obey this law, which was designed to protect people like this young Marine. Col. North is calling Americans to take action and do what Congress won’t, by signing the petition and drawing attention to the case.

If this is done, and the petition continues to grow, Obama will be forced to acknowledge it, and as a result, he will have to obey the law above and fight for the Marine’s release.
