[annabanana]

Don Siegelman is the forgotten man. He is clearly a victim of Rove's machinations in Alabama and deserves help and support.

From Montgomery -- Former Governor Don Siegelman's family isn't giving up the fight for his release from federal prison. For the first time since his father reported back to prison in September, his son Joseph Siegelman is speaking exclusively to Alabama News Network.
"I'm 24-years-old. From when the investigation started, this has been going on my entire life," says Joseph Siegelman. "When he was released on appeal in 2008, we never thought he would go back."

Joseph Siegelman says as he watched his dad walk into prison, one thought crossed his mind.

"You're losing your dad. You're taking him and losing him," he says.

Joseph Siegelman says his dad is remaining strong, and is grateful for all the support.
But he says his dad is still in prison, and still locked away for something he says he didn't do.

"I think he's finally lost faith in the system," he says.

President Obama is the only person who can pardon the former governor.

"We have no idea. No way of knowing if the president even knows who Don Siegelman is," he says.
