A California family has taken a unique approach to seek justice by launching a billboard campaign in Olive Branch, Mississippi, directed at Alice Marie Johnson, known as America's 'Pardon Czar.' The billboard, located on Hwy 78 towards Memphis, Tennessee, carries a message of hope and a plea for assistance, alongside a link to PardonMazzei.com. This initiative by Chris and Erin Mazzei, small business owners and parents, underscores their fight against what they describe as a misrepresented federal case that has upended their lives.
The Mazzeis' situation gained attention after political commentator Roger Stone featured their story in an article titled 'A Modern-Day Railroading' and hosted Chris Mazzei on his national radio show. The family has also distributed hundreds of packets detailing their case to Johnson and other influential figures within the Trump-aligned clemency movement, including the White House, Pam Bondi, Ed Martin, and Kash Patel. Patel's office has acknowledged the receipt of these materials, indicating that they have been forwarded to the Los Angeles FBI office for potential investigation into the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Hawaii responsible for their case.
Erin Mazzei, speaking from her prison camp, shared the family's desperation and hope that the billboard would capture Johnson's attention. 'We didn't know what else to do. This billboard is our way of saying, 'Please — just look at what happened to us,'' she said. The billboard is set to remain in place for the coming months, as the family awaits a response that could lead to a much-needed conversation about their case and potential clemency.
This story is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by ordinary Americans navigating the federal justice system and the lengths to which families will go to seek redress. The Mazzeis' campaign not only highlights their personal ordeal but also raises broader questions about justice, clemency, and the power of public appeals in the digital age.
