I believe the best way to support Amanda and Raffaele, as they fight for their freedom on appeal, is to spread the truth about this case to as many people as you possibly can. We all need to continue to get the word out. The truth is on our side.
I have listed below several ways to contact US government officials. Amanda and Raffaele are currently at the mercy of the Italian justice system. Italian law allows for two appeals. These appeals are automatic. With all of the attention that this case will continue to bring to Italy, I am hopeful that Amanda and Raffaele will receive a fair trial the second time around. We all know if they receive a fair trial, they will be acquitted.
We need to write to our representatives in congress to make sure they are aware that this injustice has occurred in Perugia Italy.
We have all seen the affects of the media during the first trial. Having prominent people talk about the actual evidence of this case can only help Amanda and Raffaele. Do what you can to help. Write letters and tell friends about the case. If you are able to, you can also donate to the defense funds for both Amanda and Raffaele.
As we all know, defending yourself in a court of law is very expensive. The court system moves very slowly in Italy. Lawyer fees and travel expenses due to this extended period of time has taken a huge financial toll on the Knox family. Amanda's parents know their daughter is innocent and they will not stop fighting for her freedom until she is released and allowed to come home. Unfortunately, this process could take years. The financial strain is simply too much to bear alone. If you support Amanda, and you are able to make a donation, please do.
The Knox family has said many times in interviews that they are extremely fortunate for all of the support that their family has received to help bring Amanda home.
Amanda Knox has great appreciation for all of the support she has received. In November 2008, she wrote an open letter to Seattle Prep,
I don't know if I can really express what it means to me to have the people who have known me (and even those that haven't) by my side throughout all of this... After a year I at least have learned to respond to the negativity of my current environment as peacefully and calmly as possible, but my family is still out there in the world that just can't seem to make up its mind about what to do with my life. So thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm incredibly moved by how much care the Seattle Prep community has put forth that I never expected and yet never have doubted.
She finished her letter with the Italian phrase,
Io lo so che non sono sola anche quando sono sola — Even when I am alone I'm not alone.

Senator Maria Cantwell has publicly acknowledged her support for Amanda Knox.
Senator Cantwell’s statement:
I am saddened by the verdict and I have serious questions about the Italian justice system and whether anti-Americanism tainted this trial. The prosecution did not present enough evidence for an impartial jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Knox was guilty. Italian jurors were not sequestered and were allowed to view highly negative news coverage about Ms. Knox. Other flaws in the Italian justice system on display in this case included the harsh treatment of Ms. Knox following her arrest; negligent handling of evidence by investigators; and pending charges of misconduct against one of the prosecutors stemming from another murder trial.
I am in contact with the U.S. Ambassador to Italy and have been since the time of Ms. Knox’s arrest. I will be conveying my concerns to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I have also been in touch with the Embassy of Italy in Washington, DC.
