Doug Hughes Freedom Flight

I'm Doug Hughes, the mailman who delivered letters to the front lawn of the Capitol Building by gyrocopter.  At the moment, I'm under house arrrest in Florida facing up to 4 years in jail for my civil disobedience.

I'm not whining - I know there would be consequences for my flight, but I hoped my flight would inspire discussion and  spur action to end the corruption of Congress.  It has!

I do need help - I spent every dime I had, and then some, to accomplish my flight. I lost my job with the Post Office on the Fourth of July - job prospects between now and my trial are not encouraging. Now, and after the trial,  my wife and daughter need to eat, keep the power on and pay the mortgage.  The flight was the opening round of an expensive battle to restore democracy.  For info about the fight, join thousands of friends on facebook at Free Doug Hughes .

If I do have to serve time, my family needs to survive until my release. Building that nest egg  for my wife and daughter is a  major concern because my family should not pay the price for what I did, though they are.

 Local friends jumped in while I was in jail to help my family. Thank You! Now I'm asking friends I haven't met  yet to help.    We will end corruption in Congress, I'm sure of that. Help me do it.
