Leonard Peltier Defense/Offense Committee is presenting their campaign
plans to our supporters, friends and allies in the 36-year movement to
bring Leonard Peltier home. With Leonard in our minds, hearts and
spirit, we will try to bring him home. That is our goal and commitment,
and we will do this is with your support. </font><font

putting your energy into it. </font></p>

the urgent spirit of this campaign, we will begin directing our
concerns to those with the ability to influence change, namely,
President Obama.</font></p>

congressional delegates. Schedule a meeting to talk with them about
Leonard’s case. This is your opportunity to urge them to take a
position on Leonard’s release. Seize the opportunity to educate members
of Congress who may not know the specifics of the case or even about
Leonard Peltier. Meet with those who are sitting on the fence. Others
who are long-time supporters need to be asked to become Leonard’s
champions in this important year. You might want to frame your request
for a meeting with a phrase similar to “How may we work together to
seek justice for Native Americans? How may I help you in your role as a
leader?” Then ASK your representative, along with his colleagues, to
write a personal letter to President Obama urging the immediate release
of Leonard Peltier.</font>

President Obama to carefully review the Peltier case, in regards to

time, the agents who have opposed Leonard’s bid for freedom will fail,

And if we get some good news, such as a transfer, don’t let up.
Instead, increase your efforts and never stop believing you will be a
part of something wonderful and honorable.</font></p>

Leonard Peltier USP #89637-132 </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">Dear
President Obama, </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">This
letter is among millions that have been written to US presidents on
behalf of Leonard Peltier in the past 36 years of his incarceration.
Foreign heads of state and world religious leaders, members of Congress
and even a federal judge who was hamstrung by legal precedents have
asked for clemency in Peltier's case. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">The
deaths of the agents is a horrible tragedy for their families, but a
even greater tragedy is being done to Mr. Peltier, who has been
nominated for the Nobel prize six times for his humanitarian works from
behind prison walls. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">As
an American citizen, my conscience has been haunted by the inability of
previous administrations to do the right thing and let Peltier go home.
When I look at the trial as a whole, there is shocking information
about FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in his case. What happened, Mr.
President, that an American, an American Indian at that, can languish
in a federal prison for so long without a real look at what happened to
him? </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">I
have been aware that some federal agents have been actively undermining
Mr. Peltier's efforts for years. They have lied about the evidence and
testimony, and ignore evidence to the contrary in their statements to
keep Mr. Peltier imprisoned. Attorney General Janet Reno reprimanded
FBI Director Freeh for voicing his complaint publicly. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">Mr.
President, we ask that you please take a very detailed review of Mr.
Peltier's cases, including the withheld FBI records supposedly
classified for national security reasons, inquire about his transfer to
a medium security facility that meets his classification, and grant
clemency. Mr. Peltier also is eligible for a parole under a 30 year
law, but has not been granted this according to 28 U.S.C., section
4206(d). </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">When
you were elected to the Oval Office, millions of us felt we were
granted a fresh of breath air, and through this we hope that you will
grant Mr. Peltier a breath of fresh free air. I'm sure you will see the
world rejoice. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font
face="Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold, Albertus MT" size="3">Sincerely,
</font></p>
