One time I needed some advice and so I called my friend Aaron Russo. Know who Aaron Russo referred me to?

John Stuart.

Know who gave generously of his time and expertise to me?

John Stuart.

And when some other people who were important to me needed help because they were going to loose their house, who did I send them to?

John Stuart. And he did help them. And he helped them for nothing, not one penny charged.

As far as I have ever been concerned, I do not know this man who is portrayed in the media as being a gun-nut and a borderline sociopath. The John Stuart I know, and I have met him in person, is a warm and kind man, a scholar of the Constitution and the Holy Bible, a soothing voice and a smile that could light up the world. I don't know what happened on that tragic night, I'm not capable of being judge in this matter, I wasn't there. But I can attest to my known fact that John Stuart is not a man of violence.

It's my hope and expectation that John Stuart will be exonorated but much damage has been done already. A very successful entrepreneur has been financially destroyed and a resource for our patriot community now carries the stigma and the spiritual pain of incarceration and torture, literal torture at the hands of our "correctional" institutions.

As a life-long student of Native American spiritual values, I find nothing "correct" about this situation at all. The closest we can get to "correct" on this one is to hope we have a chance to get John Stuart back alive and begin his healing process and there's one thing I know for sure is we're not gonna get exactly the same John Stuart back. And the guy John killed, he's not coming back. Ain't nothing gonna change them facts.

I'm confident enough in our capability in the community to know we'll be able to help John through if he is exonorated and I have every hope he will be. It won't be easy but it's possible.

What I'm really afraid of is if things go wrong in court and he's reincarcerated because I'm not sure if we'll be able to save him.

And for that, brothers and sisters, I will admit to being afraid of and it's a fear that sits deep in my heart. I fear for my brother whom I have come to love.
