"SOS Walk Across Michigan for Justice"
xxx

Dear Friends:

Although I am unable to attend your ceremony, I wanted to be among those to wish you the best during your Walk Across Michigan for Justice. During today's troubled times we must all bear in mind that there are continuing threats to our basic human rights and freedoms, and that we must work together to ensure justice for all.

It is my hope that your Global RescueWalk across many countries will raise awareness of this important issue, and may perhaps bring an end to this present persecution.

Again, my best wishes for a successful event go with you.

Sincerely,

Pete Hoekstra

Member of Congress
