If people post this on their facebook page then there's a much better chance of reaching the desired amount of signatures. A great idea would be if you can get popular people who have thousands of friends and followers to post this on their facebook page like Lipa Schmeltzer (especially that he's a cousin) or Leah Forster.

what I think you should do is get the pple who helped Rubashkin and the boys in Japan involved.

I dont know why this particular case has such low news coverage. Maybe this family is just not as well connected or is not connecting with the right pple.

you need to go to frum radio stations, jewish councilmen, pple who will get the word out. Dov Hikand, Country Yossi, Simcha Felder, Hidabrut radio.....

you need to set up computer stations outside of very busy frum stores, yeshivas, shteiblach in boro park, flatbush, williamsburg, lakewood, monsey- with laptops and have any passerbys sign the petition. thats what they did with rubashkin.

you dont seem to have enough manpower here.

Maybe you can ask the Mishpacha, Ami and Hamodia to put an ad to sign the petition with exact instructions.

Thank you so much for your advice. I will try to contact all of them tonight. If we can give an interview to one of the shows you mentioned including Zev Brenner and Nachum Segal, which one would have the most impact?

Seems minor, but when going to the webpage www.Freejacobnow.com/home, as specified in an earlier post, it doesn't load the page. it only works when you leave the ' home' out of the address. Maybe edit that post, or fix link...hatzlacha!!!

for those who asked - here are the FACTS of the CASE:

Jacob Ostreicher – incarcerated in Palmasola prison. Santa Cruz Bolivia

In December of 2010, Jacob traveled to Bolivia to take over management of an agricultural venture that was mismanaged by a local agent.

The plan was to harvest enough rice to create a surplus in Bolivia by flooding the local market, thus resulting in the government lifting the ban on rice exports. The end goal was 500,000,000 (500 million) pounds of rice harvested twice a year (for a total of close to 1,000,000,000 pounds annually).

During the first harvest, which netted 50,000,000 pounds, Jacob caused quite a stir when trying to purchase 500,000, 100 lb., bags to store the rice. Such an order was unprecedented in Bolivia and most vendors thought he was a con man trying to rip them off. In addition, during the harvesting season, all the trucks in the surrounding cities were working exclusively for Jacob, transporting the rice from the farms to the 8 largest storage facilities in the area which became full to the brim with rice. Jacob employed over 200 Bolivian people.

An American capitalist was going to feed the entire country of Bolivia single handedly utilizing free market methods.

Desperate to stop Jacob by any means (Bolivia is a socialist country), they started investigating all the properties and by chance found that one of the properties had been sold to the local agent (who no longer worked for the company) by a man that was wanted in Brazil for a crime committed in the 1990’s..

On June 3, 2011 Jacob was arrested for “suspicion” of money laundering and criminal organization. No evidence was presented by the prosecution. Instead, the prosecutors claimed that one of the investors was under investigation in Switzerland.

The plan had worked. Jacob was in prison and work at all his farms screeched to a halt.
50,000,000 pounds of rice disappeared.

After countless hearings which were continuously suspended, after providing legal documentation to refute the “suspicion” of money laundering, after providing official documentation from the Swiss Federal Police and Interpol proving that the investor is NOT under investigation and after failure by the prosecution to present any evidence to support their “suspicions”, the judge granted Jacob his freedom only to reverse his decision 5 days later.

After reversing his decision, the judge was promoted and a new judge was assigned to the case. The new
judge recused himself from the case after five hearings. Currently there is no judge assigned to the case

Jacob is in prison for 11 months with no proof of any wrong doing.

Not surprisingly - Bolivia lifted the ban on exporting rice about a month or so ago!! Corruption and an innocent man languishing in prison... true mitzva of Pidyon Shviyim... Got to www.freejacobnow.com to sign the petition AND Please tell friends to TEXT the word JACOB to 21800 to get updates & how you can be of further help!
