Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 23, 2010

Until recently, 51-year-old Sholom Rubashkin ran Glatt Kosher Agriprocessors in Potsville, Iowa. Federal investigators staged a military raid against the plant in 2008.

To investigate allegations of bookkeeping irregularities, the Feds deployed a Blackhawk helicopter and machine-gun-toting troops.After poring over the company?s records, federal prosecutors, claiming that Sholom had overstated revenues, prosecuted him for financial fraud.

At a time when taxpayers are bailing out Wall Street?s fraud merchants, the Regime is imposing a 27-year prison term ? an effective life sentence ? on a Hasidic Jewish kosher butcher who made a bookkeeping error when requesting a loan he intended to pay back.

Sholom?s Hasidic Jewish parents fled the Soviet Union at a time when Stalin and Hitler were at war with each other. Knowing a victory by either would lead to terrible consequences, they came to the United States. Sholom has been imprisoned by a regime that is beginning to emulate the totalitarian monsters his family fled.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
