A Message from Leonard Peltier:<br><br>
To LPDC Supporters,<br><br>
Delaney Bruce, a former LPDC Committee member from 2003, and the
website<br>
FreePeltierNow, ARE NOT affiliated with the LPDC, nor does she have
the<br>
authority to represent me and /or the LPDC. I am requesting that
Delaney<br>
Bruce, and the Friends of Peltier affiliated with the Free
PeltierNow<br>
website, CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY in making unauthorized
statements,<br>
decisions and unwarranted representation on my behalf.<br><br>
Leonard Peltier <br><br>
<br>
A message from LPDC Committee:<br><br>
For quite some time there have been many messages, statements and news
items<br>
circulated through a variety of sources pertaining to Leonard Peltier.
While<br>
we feel that this is good for the most part, it has become necessary
to<br>
issue this statement concerning unauthorized, misleading or
unrepresentative<br>
statements on the web.<br><br>
In February 2007, a website appeared called FreePeltierNow. This website
is<br>
NOT affiliated or authorized by the LPDC, nor is it the official
LPDC<br>
website. Our website address remains as
<<a href="http://www.leonardpeltier.net/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.leonardpeltier.net/</a>><br>
<a href="http://www.leonardpeltier.net/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.leonardpeltier.net/</a>.<br><br>
This newly created website, FreePeltierNow has caused alot of
confusion<br>
among the LPDC supporters. The person managing this site, Delaney
Bruce<br>
appears to have the names and email addresses of our supporters from
the<br>
LPDC list serve. They have been emailing the LPDC supporters, with their
own<br>
website info and updates. The LPDC DID NOT release, authorize the use of,
or<br>
sell the LPDC email addresses and/or listserv to anyone, at any
time.<br>
Hundreds of our supporters suddenly starting receiving emails, from
the<br>
FreePeltierNow listserv in February 2007, that have NEVER signed up
for<br>
their updates or info.<br>
How could they, it was a brand new website?<br><br>
Many of the official emails that were generated from the LPDC, have
been<br>
forwarded to their lists and have been edited or modified, prior to
sending.<br>
Even Leonard's own words have been changed by them in these
emails.<br><br>
The person behind the FreePeltierNow website, Delaney Bruce is a
former<br>
committee member for the LPDC and absolutely does not represent
Leonard<br>
Peltier or the LPDC. She has no authorization to be continuing to
represent<br>
Leonard Peltier in anyway. There are many reasons why Delaney Bruce
no<br>
longer represents Leonard Peltier or the LPDC, her prior history has
been<br>
that of creating dissention, miscommunication and alienating our
supporters.<br><br>
Delany Bruce is not familiar with our ongoing, day to day work for
Leonard<br>
Peltier:<br><br>
She has NO communication from Leonard and/or the LPDC<br><br>
She is not familiar with the team players. At times she sends out
statements<br>
that imply that Leonard and/or the LPDC endorse certain individuals,<br>
organizations or group affiliations. In most cases, the statements
provided<br>
are inaccurate and the LPDC is not in any way affiliated with, support
or<br>
endorse what is being implicated in her statements.<br><br>
The website and her work are unsolicited by Leonard Peltier and the
LPDC<br><br>
<br>
We always appreciate your continued support for Leonard Peltier and
the<br>
LPDC.<br><br>
If you have any questions, please contact the LPDC at<br>
