Honor the Jury Decision in Zimmerman Trial

As citizens of the United States of America we the people want our representation in the above agencies to recognize and adhere to the lawful findings in the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman trial that resulted in a clear finding of "Not Guilty" by the Jury in the said Trial. We as American Citizens resent and refuse to accept the utilization of United States Governmental Agencies to further an agenda that is either personal in nature or malicious in its intent or both as appears to be evident in this instance. We expect our Government Officials to respect the laws of this country and to enforce those laws in the spirit in which they were written, not to use or manipulate the definitions of said laws to further an agenda that is clearly not in the best interest of the Nation or in following the Spirit of the intended purpose of the laws and or statutes that are being utilized for purposes other than their genuine intended purpose. We expect that findings in a lawful "Trial by Jury" be respected by the Federal Government and those who are currently in authoritative positions within that Government and that these persons do not seek to interfere with, manipulate or orchestrate malicious Federal Charges against the individual clearly found to be lawfully "Not Guilty" by a Court of Law in the State of Florida.

Why is this important?

The government in an attempt to appease a segment of the population has ignored the law of the State of Florida. The outcome in the trial was correct and Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted, now the Federal Government is attempting to ignore the Juries Finding and in a biased manner, based on what appears to be personal issues of Eric Holder and Barack Obama are seeking to charge George Zimmerman with a Civil Rights Violation which is nothing more than a vindictive move in an attempt to seek their personal satisfaction in a case which was never sought by the investigating Police Agency from the outset.
