Six months ago, right here on the breakdown, I told you the story of a man named Michael Thompson.

He's now almost 70 years old and has been in prison in Michigan for 25 years for selling weed. And get this,

weed is not legal in Michigan. We have an opportunity in just about a week to

help set Michael free and I need all hands on deck. I'm dedicating the rest of the episodes this week to

getting us all on board. I have some action steps. I have some news for you.

Let's do this. You can go right now to free Michael Thompson.com and let's make

sure we get this done. This is Sean King and you are listening to The Breakdown.

The Breakdown.

The Breakdown. Break down. Listen if you're just ready to join us you can actually cut this episode off right now and just go to free Michael Thompson.com free

Michael Thompson.com and we can just skip past everything I have to say and you can go there

right now and I'm going to show you how you can write a letter to the governor of Michigan and we need you to do it. I have some text in there that

you can use but I would actually rather you write your own text so that she doesn't get a hundred thousand letters that

look the exact same I'd rather you write it in your own words so if you want to

just go on to free Michael Thompson.com but if you want some more information

you have to understand that Michael Thompson has served a longer sentence in prison in Michigan than any other nonviolent

offender. He has almost been there now for 26 years.

26 years. Like when I start to do the math,

26 years ago I was I was in eighth grade like 26 years ago I was a child. I had

not met my I have five children none of them were born 26 years ago.

Like, the fact that he has spent so long in prison for a nonviolent offense that is currently legal now in Michigan is a crime in and of itself.

Michael Thompson has never committed a violent act,

but he was charged with a violent crime
