God bless America! We now have a real leader in the White House. Let’s hope we can get our brave men and women out of prison and cleared of felony charges. I can’t wait to see my J6 brothers breathing free air! Thank you for supporting us and standing with us in our darkest hour. Now begins the challenge of rebuilding our lives as America rebuilds its greatness. God bless you all! I love you. 

It’s been a long road. This J6 persecution may finally end on January 20. The fight continues for me regardless of a possible Presidential Pardon. Virginia seems to want to put me away for a very long time. But throughout this entire ordeal YOU have kept me going. Great Patriots like you have showed me the best of the human spirit. Of course my struggle against the tyranny of Virginia goes on. But your love, prayers, and support have saved my life. I hope to one day shake your hand and personally thank you for everything you’ve done.

As many of you know, life under President Trump will be much better. For many J6ers, including myself, we hope that pardons are swift and unconditional. But there are several J6ers who are facing a “secondary persecution”. Some of us were harassed with extra federal charges due to unconstitutional raids on our homes. Some of us were targeted by the State we reside in. My “secondary persecution” situation stems from a 2008 nonviolent conviction I received in Virginia. I served my time and finished my probation 2 years before January 6, 2021. But little did I know that in the fine print of my sentence was the clause of “good behavior for life”. Yes, that’s correct, FOR LIFE. That means that I have 10 years in prison over my head for the rest of my life. Virginia is notorious for ridiculous laws like this. So as I hope to get federal relief from my J6 charge, this doesn’t stop the government of Virginia from going after me. I need a real lawyer. Not the court appointed lawyer I currently have. I hope this message reaches the amazing patriots who have been fighting for our freedom through these tough times. I thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and support. You have given me hope in humanity that was so diminished after being tortured on solitary confinement and abused by the DOJ for years. God bless you all. My heart still beats because of you. 

You all may know I started a podcast INSIDE the DC Jail. I am continuing it now from VA as I’m on federal probation AND on VA pretrial supervision because of the SECONDARY persecution I’m under. I’m facing 10 years in prison in VA, but I’m still fighting.

This January 6 became one step closer to receiving justice for all J6ers. Thank you all who have supported us through the hardest trials of our lives. Even after January 20 and the hopeful pardons from President Trump, the fight will continue for many of us facing secondary persecutions. As you may know the state of Virginia is still trying to hammer me with 10 years in prison from an outdated and unconstitutional sentencing provision I am under from a 2008 state charge I received, “good behavior for life”. Even though I turned my life around and was off probation two years before January 6, the Commonwealth of Virginia has no mercy. In order to hire proper representation for this situation I am in it will cost me at least $10,000-$15,000. This has caused myself and my family quite a bit of stress. We are in an unknown realm and your prayers and support are very much appreciated. Thank you all for standing by me in my darkest hour.

Everyone!  We made it through another year of Sleepy Joe and Cackling Kamala! I’m not sure how we did it, but it’s done. Let this New Year be filled with hope and love for the citizens of our great Nation. Our future is bright and our hearts are in it. President Trump is assembling a fantastic team of Avengers to revamp and reconstruct the US Federal Government. 

God bless you all. Along the torturous road I’ve been on your love and support has gotten me through to this point. I’m eternally thankful. Though my future may be uncertain due to the state of VA trying to give me 10 years in prison, one thing is for certain, and that is that I love this country. You are all so amazing. Thank you for all the prayers and support. 

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and we can Make America Great Again!

Happy New Year!!!

GOD BLESS THE GATEWAY PUNDIT FOR TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ME. 

The mainstream media has lied and slandered me for too long  

I just want to thank you for your support and prayers. I am home for the holidays this year. FINALLY! Even though I face 10 years in prison from Virginia, it is comforting to know that so many great patriots stand together and are poised to take America back on January 20. Thank you all for your support. I am inching ever closer to raising the amount of money it will cost to fight this NEW prosecution by Virginia. Every bit helps. I really appreciate you all. Without you I’d be lost in the system with no hope. God bless you all. 

Things are pressing down on me in a new way. I’m no longer in federal prison. (I served my 51 month sentence) I’m no longer in a Virginia jail due to my “violation of good behavior for life” from a 2008 charge because I went to the J6 rally. (I got out on bond) But the search for a defense lawyer and the specter of 10 years in prison over my head have made my Christmas season very stressful and anything but jolly. This government tyranny and heavy handed treatment has not and will not end. I am trying to keep my spirits high. I’m trying to stay strong. It’s tough. But this corrupt and evil machine WILL NOT BREAK ME. I am a Patriot and I’m in the struggle of my life. I will always rise to the occasion. I love you all. You are great Americans who have seen through the noise of the mainstream media and know the truth. Thank you. God bless you. You inspire me. 

You can't imagine how grateful I am for you all. I’m out on bond and I’m facing 10 years in prison from VA due to a charge I recorded in 2008. This violation was triggered by my J6 charge. It’s terrible because I had NO IDEA about this. I was released from probation in 2019. I have turned my life around since I was 21 years old in 2008 when I got this nonviolent felony in VA. My life seems to break down when I least expect it. But I’m a soldier. I try to stay strong. Just knowing that you all care gives me SO MUCH STRENGTH to carry on. Thank you. God bless you all. Whatever happens next in my story just know that I love you all. 

Thank you all for following along with this second J6-related persecution Virginia is putting me through. It blows my mind to think that I just finished my 51-month federal prison sentence for J6 and now Virginia wants to give me 10 years for "violating probation" even though I was released from VA probation in 2019. I had just gotten out and started my life on September 30. Now I'm facing another hell created by a tyrannical and overbearing government. This new struggle in the state of Virginia is a big one. God bless you all for caring about me and supporting me with thoughts and prayers. I never imagined I'd have to fight another dire legal battle after I was released from prison this year. But now I must buckle down and fight fight fight. Thank you for your help. It truly gives me strength just knowing that people care. This dark hole I am in becomes easier to deal with every time I hear of your support. Thank you.

I have a bond hearing scheduled for tomorrow (Monday, Nov.18) Let us pray I am let out on bond for the holidays and that it doesn't cost so much that it is unattainable. This legal fight is just beginning. Let's hope I can fight it from home this time. God bless.

Yesterday was my 38th Birthday. 

My adult life has been full of obstacles, struggles, and hardships. However, I have learned that YOU, the American People are the most gracious and caring people on Earth. The outpouring of love and support you have shown me is a bright light in the darkness I have experienced over the last few years. Thank you for giving me hope in humanity as my hope in a just government has waned. I am "celebrating" my 4th birthday incarcerated by this tyrannical government. You, the American people are the only thing that gives me comfort during this persecution. Thank you for that and may God Bless you ALL. 

Jon Mellis on November 2, 2024. 1:00 a.m. Outside Williamsburg James City County Police Station. Turning himself in for a violation stemming from J6. Facing 10 years in prison.

I just want to thank all of you who have helped me with your donations, support and prayers. Without you I would be in a very bad place. The first $103,000 of this fundraiser has been used for my Federal J6 case and related expenses. I was released from Federal prison September 30th,2024 and have now been arrested in Virginia on November 2nd for a state probation violation, even though I released from Virginia probation in April 2019. The donations going forward will be used to fight this new legal battle and related expenses. God Bless you and please pray for me as I sit in jail, right now.

I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE LAWFARE BEING USED AGAINST ME IN VIRGINIA. In 2008 I was sentenced by Virginia to 20 years in prison with 10 suspended. It was my first felony. It was a drug charge. I spent 10 years in Virginia prison educating myself and turning my life around. I was released from prison in October 2017 and moved directly to Nashville, TN. I quickly became highly involved in the community, volunteer efforts, and charities. I was released from probation in April 2019 for good behavior. I was told my probation was over. I travelled the country and built a good life. As a service industry worker (bartender/server) I was saving my money to eventually attend school to further my education.

I went to a rally in DC on January 6, 2021. For attempting to save Rosanne Boyland from being killed by police I was incarcerated, spent a year on solitary confinement, denied visitation for 2 years, dealt with abusive guards and gross jail conditions, and was ultimately sentenced to 51 months in Federal prison. I was just released on September 30, 2024.

On November 1, 2024 at 1am my house was raided by the Virginia local police. I was not there, but my friend was. He was alerted by the security cameras and saw a group of people trying to break into the house. He went out to confront these intruders with gun in hand. Luckily he realized they were cops before it got nasty. Apparently there was a warrant for my arrest. I may have been released from probation YEARS ago, but I'm on "lifelong good behavior" by Virginia.

I STILL have 10 years in prison over my head. This is a big surprise to me. I turned myself in to the police on November 2, 2024 at 1am. The Williamsburg, VA Circuit Court Judge has set this matter to be resolved on January 27, 2025. I can receive up to 10 years in prison. Hopefully the Pardon from President Trump will come sooner so this case will be thrown out. This is my situation.

Thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser. I'm so grateful for the generosity you have shown me. God bless you. If you would like to get to know me or any other J6er better in our own words please visit wearegoodmen.com.
