I want to thank you Kristina for very boldly making a stand in the cause of justice. It is too often in our society today, that we as individual citizens are aware of an injustice being done, yet are to faint-hearted to take any action at all. If we are aware of an injustice, and within our means we can redress that injustice in any way but fail to do so, than we surely become part of that injustice being implemented. The question may be asked "why should we remain silent" at this time in the actual innocence cause of Benjamine John Spencer? Attempting to answer the question from the clear and plain truth of the facts, if you would close your eyes for just a moment. . . and attempt to place yourself in the situation of having been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for well over 21 -years for a henious crime that you knew from the very beginning that you absolutely did not commit. . .and in those 21 years you were forcibly subjected to viotile conditions and actions on a day-to-day basis such as ' coerced homosexual activities','indecent health-care by unlicensed and unqualified personel', 'killing, stabbing, maiming, raping, and wounding without cause or purpose', and 'blatant subjection to slavery as defined by being forced to work in the fields, industries, and factories of the State of Texas- making a profit for the State of Texas from the services and labor(SOAP FACTORY< BOXED BEEF PLANT<PRODUCE<LIVESTOCK,COTTON-picking,etc.) and absolutely not being compensated for the forced labor in any way?. . . and after 21--years of being subjected to these conditions, the very trial court that wrongfully convicted you, after holding an extensive evidentiary hearing weighing all of the evidence that was presented to the courts by both the Office of the District Attorney and the Defense Counsel- had made a ruling that you were actually innocent of the crime that has absolutely robbed and stripped you of your dignity for the last 21-years tarnishing your name(to include the ireparable wrongs of being denied of your human right to rear your beloved son, to be a father to him). . . and you do not have any financial means to positively reintegrate into society into becoming a productive citizen . . .upon all of these things brought forward, would you as a decent human-being remain silent after the trial court having already established that you were actually innocent of the crime, yet you still remained wrongfully imprisoned without absolutely no law, rule, regulation, statute, or ordinance in which could possibly justify such an injustice being done to you? Yes, Dallas, we can do better!!!!!It is the talents and gifts that God Almighty has blessed us with that should be utilized to help our fellow human beings for the betterment of mankind. If we are to consider ourselves to be that great country by the name of America-the ONE NATION UNDER GOD- then we as a people need to take positive pro-active actions to display the peace and unity of that great ONE NATION UNDER GOD without any references to any creeds, any dogmas, or to any preference or indifferential treatment because of the hue of a human being's skin. Dear GOD, help us to be bold peace-makers and to show that our true love for justice and humanity to be a "verb" and not just a mere "noun". Let us not be afraid to help our fellow human beings with the intangible and tangible things in which you have blessed us with. In the name of Jesus, AMEN. DALLAS, YES WE CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER.

Dear GOD,

help us to be bold peace-makers and to show that our true love for justice and humanity to be a “verb” and not just a mere “noun”. Let us not be afraid to help our fellow human beings with the intangible and tangible things in which you have blessed us with.
