A new campaign sponsored by the Leonard Peltier Defense
Offense Committee with Friends of Peltier and the
International Peltier Forum
Action #1:
Personal Response
IMPORTANT: Download the
Campaign Kit
(Zip file; click to download; free reader here
(PC) and here (Mac), if needed. Or download
individual files below.)
Download the campaign materials. Most of the files are in PDF format. You’ll require an
Adobe Acrobat Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/).
Using Film
-
Print a campaign sign using
landscape orientation. Produce a photo of yourself holding
the campaign sign. Not all cameras are the same and the
level of light will affect image quality. We have provided
four signs. Choose the sign that photographs best in your
conditions. (We’ve noticed that, with flash photography, the
image with the white background tends to work best.) Make
sure the sign and your face are clearly visible in the
photograph.
-
On the back of the developed
photo, legibly PRINT your name, street address, city, state,
country, postal code, and an e-mail address, if you have
one.
Using a Digital Image
-
You also can use a digital photo. If you have access to a
photo printer simply print your photo. On the back of the
photo, legibly PRINT your name, street address, city, state,
country, postal code, and an e-mail address, if you have
one.
-
A less costly option is to electronically insert the digital
image to a campaign mailer and print the mailer on standard
paper. We have provided two styles of mailers (Word
documents) for your use. The mailers are in Word format
specifically so that you’ll be able to manipulate the
mailer. Adjust the placement and size of your photo, as
needed. When you’re satisfied with the appearance of the
mailer, print the mailer.
-
Legibly PRINT your name, street address, city, state,
country, postal code, and an e-mail address in the spaces
provided on the mailer. NOTE: We prefer handwritten
information because this tends to make your submission to
the Attorney General more credible.
-
Please do not fold your mailer when you send it to us.
We also ask that you contribute $1. That’s right – ONE
U.S. dollar! A donation is not mandatory to participate in
this campaign, but your voluntary donation will help us with
expenses we’ll incur. Checks and money orders should be made
out to “LPDOC”. If you prefer, you may donate online at
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info.
If you have not already
done so, please sign the online petition.
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.
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.
