Dear Friends and Supporters,

First, we've received calls in recent days about an obituary some
of you have seen on the Internet. This obituary was for another man
named Leonard Peltier, not my brother. I can well imagine the grief
that man's family and friends must feel, as well as the shock some
of you experienced when you read the notice. Thank you to those of
you who called and expressed your concern.

If you have questions about things you see announced on the Internet,
we recommend that you first check our blog for confirmation. There's
a link to the blog from our home page at www.whoisleonardpeltier.info
or you can go directly to http://lpdoc.blogspot.com. We will always
make any major announcements -- good or bad -- on our blog and/or
via our mailing list. If you know people who haven't joined our
mailing list, tell them that they can do so from our home page.

I recently returned from Washington, DC, and a conference with some
legal team members. Ten of us met all one day to discuss issues
and develop various strategies. You'll be informed of various
actions/plans when it's appropriate for us to do so, but I want
to tell you that I have more hope in my heart than ever before. I
also know there's a great deal of work to be done in 2010 to
secure Leonard's freedom. Success will not be quick or easy, and
there may be disappointments along the way, but we must and will
continue the fight to free Leonard. I ask everyone to expend the
same energy as you did in 2009 towards that end. We simply can't
succeed without you.

The first submissions for the ZOOM IN Campaign will be mailed
to Attorney General Holder around February 6, the date that
marks 34 years of imprisonment for Leonard. 34 years! Due to
requests received from organizers who wish to use their February
6th events to collect more photos/flyers, we'll send a second
package to AG Holder on March 1. For background and instructions,
see www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/zoom1.htm. Demand an Executive
Review of the Peltier case.

Through letters to the editor of your local newspaper, calling in
to local radio talk shows, tabling at local events, leafleting on
your city streets, etc., you can have an impact on the attitudes
of people in your community. More than that, you can motivate those
people to get active in the campaign to free Leonard. Get a couple of
your friends together and establish a LP-DOC support branch in your
community today. Send an e-mail to contact at whoisleonardpeltier.info
to get started.

We're pleased to announce the availability of Giclée Reproductions
of never-before-seen paintings by Leonard Peltier. These are high
quality ink-jet prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks. Commonly
found in museums and art and photographic galleries, they are simply
the best quality reproductions available. They look just like the
originals, but are available at a fraction of the cost. We invite you
to visit www.leonardpeltierart.com for details. For more information,
contact Monica Martinez Donovan by e-mail at Monica15 at q.com or call
719-687-8750. Proceeds will benefit my brother's legal fund.

Like many similar organizations, we're still facing a funding
shortfall. To carry out our plans for 2010, we need your help. We
currently have two raffles for which you can purchase tickets. Enter
to win a painting

Donations are always welcome and very
appreciated. Please make a pledge of support at
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/donate.htm. Donations may also be
made by check or money order made payable to the LP-DOC. Mail your
donation to LP-DOC, PO Box 7488, Fargo, ND 58106.

Again, thank you for all you do on Leonard's behalf. Together,
we'll make 2010 count.
