Justice Department: Do Not Open a Civil Rights Case Against George Zimmerman

Race was not an issue in the Zimmerman trial. But the media and NAACP made have it an issue by altering 911 tapes to elicit public opinion against George Zimmerman.

We petition you to ignore this lawsuit and let George Zimmerman live his life a free and innocent man as found by a jury of his peers.

Why is this important?

George Zimmerman is the victim of a witch hunt. He has already been found innocent of a crime he originally shouldn't have been charged with. Now he's being charged with yet another crime because the NAACP isn't happy with the results of the first trial he was put through. This gives the NAACP and other special interest groups an advantage to ruin lives of innocent people they simply do not like.
