Throughout her father's imprisonment, she was a vocal advocate, famously writing open letters to political figures regarding his sentence. Amy Blagojevich has repeatedly spoken out in support of her father. Following his August resentencing to 14 years in prison for public corruption by U.S. District Judge James Zagel, she gestured toward the judge and told the courtroom,
He stole my childhood!
At the time of her father's arrest, former US President Obama was in office. In January 2017, Amy wrote an angry open letter to Barack Obama, saying she lost respect for him after he declined to commute her father’s 14-year federal prison sentence before he left office.
You’ve broken my heart once again, and you’ve betrayed the concept of justice like many other heartless individuals have done before you.
She added,
You can’t deny that you saw the letters my sister and I wrote... You stood by and watched the arrest, the trials, the sentencing, the appellate court decision, the resentencing hearing, and the horrific lies and hurtful words said in the press. You did nothing—said nothing—for eight long years. While my father spent time behind barbed wire, you were living in the lap of luxury.
