Just an update on Leonard Peltier. On August 21, 2009, Leonard Peltier will know if he is paroled or left to die in federal prison. Many prayers are needed for the longest held political prisoner in this country. Write, e-mail and pray for this man who is in bad health. You can visit www.leonardpeltier.net where there is a clock with the date, hour and minute count down or read the article in Indian Country Today, Aug. 16, 2009. stephanie

STEPHANIE,
I HAVE ACTUALLY COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO THE WHITEHOUSE.GOV. EMAIL ADDRESS. I ASKED WHY DO THEY KEEP LEONARD PELTIER IN PRISON FOR SO LONG WHEN THEY RELEASE OTHERS. AND I DO KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THE WEBSITE TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS BEING DONE FOR HIM.

Dawnday; I too, have sent e-mails to the Whitehouse. It's worth a try since the main topic in Washington D.C. is healthcare reform. Leonard was bleeding internally and hasn't been seen by a doctor in over a year. When he was transferred to a prison in Pennsylvania, he was beat up by young natives. People think it is an attempt to keep him down so that he dies in prison. What's wrong with this picture??? stephanie

STEPHANIE, IT MAKES ME SO MAD TO HEAR THAT IT WAS OUR OWN YOUNG MEN THAT BEAT HIM UP. WHY CAN'T WE STICK TOGETHER. DIVIDE AND CONQUER HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHAT THE WHITE MEN USED AGAINST US, AND IT SEEMS TO STILL BE WORKING TODAY. I THINK THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT IS FOR LEONARD TO DIE WHILE IN PRISON, THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM ANY MORE, OR OUR PLEA'S FOR JUSTICE. ALL OF US IN THAT AGE GROUP ARE DYING OFF FAST ENOUGH AS IT IS, LET US HAVE SOME PEACE- WHILE WE ARE AT IT. HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIE WITH HIS OWN PEOPLE, NOT IN PRISON. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THANK YOU STEPHANIE FOR THE POST, NICE TO SEE PEOPLE STILL CARE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER THAN THEMSELVES. DAWNDAY

As of Aug. 20th, no reply from the commission on parole appeal by Leonard's defense team. Of course parole was denied on July 28th 2009 but appealed. Now the world waits. Defense team is asking for everyone to call, write and e-mail the white house, senators even though they are on vacation. stephanie

...BREAKING NEWS...
PAROLE HAS BEEN DENIED
LP-DOC RESPONSE
The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee acknowledges the receipt of the decision of the United States Parole Commission to deny parole for American Indian Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier. We wish to thank our thousands of supporters for their tenacious efforts, in particular during the months leading to Leonard's recent hearing. Currently we are in the process of finalizing plans for efforts around exercising our right to challenge this decision, advocate for intervention by President Obama, and succeeding in getting both proper medical attention for Leonard and a transfer to a federal prison closer to home. We will be issuing directives within the near future.
He will be let out eventually-feet first. They think he killed those agents so he is stuck in prison.
