HOLIDAY APPEAL FOR TOM MANNING � U.S. POLITICAL PRISONER
Tom Manning has been suffering ever since the Bureau of Prisons� doctors botched up his hip replacement surgery two years ago. This year, Tom had additional surgery on his shoulder and knee at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, MO. Yet, he was transferred back to the Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, KS, before fully recuperating.
In a telephone conversation yesterday, Tom said, �I�ve only got 28 cents to my name. I would appreciate any help.� Please find it in your heart to send Tom your holiday greetings and include a donation (in the form of a u.s. postal money order including his inmate number � Thomas W. Manning 10373-016) to his address below:

Tom needs funds to purchase clothes, food and supplies for his painting projects. He needs your help to survive with dignity. The sacrifice Tom Manning has made for the cause of humanity is great � show him your love, solidarity and respect! Thank you.
