Dear Queens,
I am not sure if you are aware of the case of Heather Ellis, the young college student who may face 15 years in prison for cutting in line at Walmart. The facts in the case do not add up, given that she was only joining her cousin in line. This altercation should never have ended up with police being called and it certainly should not cost this young woman her future.
The Ku Klux Klan has gotten involved, threatening Heather and her family for their public protests of the incident. The events took place in a town near the one in which Rush Limbaugh was born, so there is a long history of injustice toward African Americans.
I have signed the petition with the Your Black World Coalition to fight against what is happening to Heather. We are reaching out to the Attorney General of the United States, the Attorney General of the State of Missouri, and anyone else who can help this young woman achieve justice. We do not feel that this is the only case in which injustice is occurring, so this is the beginning of a long battle to make our system fair for everyone.
You can sign the petition by following this link:

so because Rush Limbaugh is from the town, there have been racial injustices? Sorry, I don't follow the logic.
Well maybe not but there is proof that justice isn't served proportionately amongst blacks and whites there in the town she will be tried. So...you may not wrap your head around the logic. It is worth following up on and reading about.
I was about to post that link on my facebook status to SaveHeather Ellis but I will NOT do so with that line about Rush. That is uncalled for and unfair.
