In what appears to be a delaying action on the part of responsible
authorities at Ft. Levenworth, Kansas military prison the family of Allen
Schindler reports that they were not timely notified of a seemingly hushed
clemency hearing for convicted murderer Terry Helvey. This has not been an
isolated incident for them and they ask that the brutal death of their
beloved Allen at the hands of Helvey not be treated so lightly by authorities.

Mrs. Hadjys and her daughter Kathy reported that it appeared the Navy may
have participated in this biased action and they are deeply offended and
heartbroken that justice still takes a back seat because of homophobia.

The members and friends of AmFedVets and GLBVA call upon all individuals
who support and defend equality of rights and justice for all to challenge
this alleged abuse of the system simply because of sexual orientation.
Contact your elected representatives in the House and Senate immediately
and appraise them of the inequity. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday,
July 11th and faxing your concerned outrage over this blantant injustice to
Jocelyn Wolf (913) 684-4360 at Ft. Levenworth could make a difference now
and in the future.
