Help Filmmaker Andrew Berends

http://helpandy.wordpress.com/

Andy Berends went to my high school. Although I am from the New York area, the high school was only about 300 students. Although he was fairly reserved and only had a few close friends, everyone new who Andy Berends was.

Over one summer, he went on an exchange program. It seemed to have changed his life. He came back with long hair and wild libertarian ideas. He was derisively nicknamed "Freedom" but he owned that name and took it as a badge of honor.

Although Andy's was well known to be extremely kind, although with a bit of taciturn dry wit, so as to avoid being too "Hardy Boys." I should also say that his family are extremely nice people.

Anyhow, if you are reading this: this is a serious call for help. My former classmate could be in serious trouble.

Please consider writing your U.S. Representative and/or U.S. Senators and ask that they advocate for his immediate release.
