Welcome Lawrence Sampson

Welcome Lawrence Sampson

We’re pleased to announce an addition to the LPDOC staff. Long-time
supporter Lawrence Sampson has served with Leonard’s Committee from time to
time and we share Leonard’s excitement that Lawrence has agreed to return.
Among other things, Lawrence will serve as co-coordinator of the LPDOC
support branches. He can be contacted at lawrenceesampson@yahoo.com.

Lawrence also will be the host of our new Blog Talk Radio show. We’ll go
live in 2010. Stay tuned for details.

February 6 Events

It’s time to plan your event/activity in recognition of the 34th anniversary
of Leonard’s arrest on 06 February 2010. Due to the political nature of the
Peltier case, a high level of public awareness is critical if new legal
efforts (including clemency) are to succeed. Make the day count. For ideas
of things you can do to educate your community about the Peltier case, see
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/educate.htm.

Tips for planning events can be found at
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/events.htm. Be sure to let us know your plans
so we can help promote your event.

ZOOM IN Campaign

Remember that the deadline for submissions for the ZOOM IN Campaign is
January 31. Thanks to all of you who have participated thus far. Beginning
on December 26, let’s push harder for an Executive Review of the Peltier
case by Attorney General Eric Holder. For background and instructions, see
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/zoom1.htm. Get out in your community and use
the campaign to educate others about the Peltier case and motivate others to
actively support Leonard. We prefer that you follow the campaign plan, but
we also will accept letters and petitions to AG Holder regarding an
Executive Review of the case.
