“It will be a raw and wonderful reunion” Dana Siegelman, the “Gov’s” daughter stated to WRGX as she waited for her dad to arrive in the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport. Dana is an ardent supporter of her dad’s innocence, appearing on major networks’ talk shows and sponsoring petitions defending her Dad’s integrity. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Countdown the days. Travel  back in time.

The countdown has begun! There is a 114 day countdown till Don Siegelman’s earliest release date in February 8, 2017. The good news is there is a possibility that “the Gov” won’t have to spend another birthday in prison! If Don is out on his birthday (the BOP has final say in this matter) what a party we will have!
