Leonard Peltier DOC LOGO Contest

From:    "contact@whoisleonardpeltier.info"
Date: Tue, June 10, 2008

Our startup was hectic and the demands of the job grow daily, but we want
to take a moment to thank all of you for your assistance and support, as
well as your energy and commitment.

Having to move as quickly as we did, we didn't have the luxury of time to
consider such things as a logo for the LPDOC. It's occurred to us that
this is an area where supporters may be able to help and also have a
little fun. So, we encourage everyone to participate in our logo contest.
Visit http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/logocontest.htm for more
information.

June 26 is the 33rd anniversary of the firefight at the Jumping Bull
property on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The LP DOC will represent Leonard
at
the annual Little Big Horn National Monument event in Montana, as well as
the Oglala Commemoration in South Dakota. We're also helping participants
in the Longest Walk II mark the day by sending t-shirts and other
materials their way.

How will you mark the day?

Due to the political nature of the Peltier case, a high level of public
awareness is critical if we're to succeed in obtaining Leonard's release.
Here's some of the things you can do to educate your community about the
Peltier case:

-- Set up literature tables at events/public places. Download literature at
http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/pubs.htm and don't forget our
petitions and sample resolution which you can locate on our main menu.

-- Plan showings of electronic media. While "Incident at Oglala" is out of
print, copies still in circulation are often available for purchase from
Amazon.com, eBay, etc., and VHS and DVD copies are available to rent in
many rental outlets. Amazon.com also offers a downloadable, low-cost
digital version. Restrictions apply. We also strongly recommend "Warrior,"
on VHS. Order online through Native Videos at
http://www.nativevideos.com/warrior.htm.

-- Write letters to editors of local newspapers, encourage community
television stations to highlight the case, and place calls to radio
call-in shows. Express your opinions and educate others.

-- Hold book readings featuring "My Life Is My Sun Dance" by Leonard Peltier.

If you're planning an event, please let us know. We'll be happy to add
the information you provide to our calendar of events and otherwise
promote your event in any way we can.

Stay tuned for more news about June 26th events.

Thank you for all you do on Leonard's behalf.

Sincerely,


Betty Ann Peltier-Solano
Coordinator
