A new campaign sponsored by the Leonard Peltier Defense
Offense Committee with Friends of Peltier and the
International Peltier Forum
The United
States courts have acknowledged that Leonard Peltier was the
victim of official misconduct and convicted on the basis of
fabricated and suppressed evidence, as well as coerced
testimony. However, the courts have not granted Leonard a new
trial.
Attorney
General Eric Holder can conduct an Executive Review of the
Peltier case and provide a remedy. In fact, he has said that
in the face of misconduct by Department of Justice officials,
it’s his job to do the right thing. That’s why we’ve renewed
the call for an Executive Review of the Peltier case.

Join us in
our new campaign to demand EQUAL justice for Leonard Peltier.
The Campaign
People often ask... “Who
are those Peltier supporters, anyway?” We’re all just ordinary
folks from all around the world. We’re a diverse group,
representative of all races/ethnicities, religions, social
classes, political beliefs, etc. Yet, we have at least one
thing in common. We know a grave injustice has been done to
Leonard Peltier.
The campaign concept is
simple: (1) Send a message to AG Holder—We want justice...
EQUAL justice... and we want it NOW and (2) Put a face to the
message.
The campaign has two
components:
A box filled to the brim
with campaign flyers, including all our faces, will be delivered to AG Holder’s office on or
around February 6, 2010 – the 34th anniversary of Leonard Peltier’s arrest.
UPDATE: A second delivery will be made to the
Attorney General on March 1, 2010.
If you have not already
done so, please sign the online petition.
We also ask that you
contribute $1 to help with expenses associated with the
campaign. That’s right—ONE U.S. dollar! You can, of
course, donate more if you wish. Checks and money orders
should be made out to “LPDOC”.
Donate securely
online. We are
PayPal Verified.
Contrary to what some say, the Committee
has limited resources and, like any other grassroots
organization, struggles financially. Your donations are needed
to make this and other campaigns successful and so that more
events—like those held in Boulder,
Lewisburg, and Washington, DC, this year—can
be planned in the months ahead. Please give what you can.
Deadline
All photos should be
received NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 28, 2010 (but please don’t wait
until then to send us your photo).
Mail your donation, together with your
standalone photo or mailer, to the support branch
coordinators: ZOOM IN, c/o
LPDOC, PO Box 7488, Fargo, ND 58106.
