OK here it is.
En Vogue with Leonard Peltier
The cause of Leonard Peltier will always be en vogue if that means to right a
wrong and a man wrongfully held in prison for thirty something years should be
released - then everyone should know about it and be en vogue.
The case of Leonard Peltier is one that has been ongoing for Indigenous people
from the time of “discovery�?to the
present day. This is not an isolated
case, which many people who support political prisoner’s rights know all too
well. Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for over 32 years and while there has
been some who have let his plight fall to the wayside, for many of us he has
never been forgotten. Leonard has remained in the hearts of many people who
have continued to keep the faith that one day he will be free.
However this is not the case all too often, many people all too often view the
case of Leonard Peltier as an Indian problem or Indian concern. It should be a
concern for all Americans, because if his case stands as precedence then the
freedom of everyone is in jeopardy. Because of the length of time that Leonard
Peltier has been in prison, many people due to their age, especially the youth,
do not know who Leonard Peltier is to us. Anyone 30 years or younger has likely
yet to be educated on the case of
Leonard Peltier. Any adults alive during the
time Leonard Peltier was sentenced to prison may have died or perhaps are living
as elders that don’t have the youth, means or health, to say much or do much
about it anymore.
That is why at this time we are reasserting the need for Freedom for Leonard
and reeducating the public about the injustice that has gone on for over 32
years. You can help Leonard Peltier get justice and freedom by:
a) Signing the online petition at
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/parole2008/;
b) Writing letters on behalf of Leonard Peltier’s freedom through parole,
clemency or pardon. Write to your Congressmen, your Legislators, the President,
the US Parole Board and Human Rights Organizations;
c) Starting a support group as an official branch of the LP DOC in your state
or local area;
d) Taking the resolution found at www.whoisleonardpeltier.com to your
tribal
elected officials and ask them to pass it unanimously; if you are not a tribal
member anyone can get their organization to pass the resolution in support of
Leonard Peltier’s freedom and send it to the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense
Committee where it will be presented to the appropriate agencies;
e) Donating to the Leonard Peltier gift and clothes drive for Pine Ridge
Reservation;
f) Leonard himself has said that he appreciates the donations to his commissary
account, but he would rather people donate directly to the Leonard Peltier
Defense Offense Committee (LP DOC) because it goes directly toward gaining his
freedom. The LP DOC is in direct contact with Leonard Peltier daily and works
closely with his legal team to gain his release. Please consider donating to
the LP DOC in the effort toward gaining Leonard’s freedom today.
Leonard Peltier is a focal point for combating the injustice
of the government
who has targeted people, especially Native American people, who are dissenters
with the US Policies toward native peoples. All too often people equate
dissention with being unpatriotic, however, that could not be further from the
truth. The only difference between dissenters who are championing our rights
under the Constitution and the treaty rights that are being trampled on is that
they don’t have uniforms or have the government sanctions of the bureaucrats.
But they definitely are sanctioned under the articles of the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights. And though they are unfunded except for their own
dedication and passion, they are as patriotic as any soldier whoever fought for
freedom for this country.
Thank you for all who are working to bring Leonard Peltier’s case to the
forefront of people’s thoughts daily and unfailingly. We are altogether
grateful for everyone who
is contributing their time, efforts and money toward
the cause.
