Announcement of New LPDOC Campaign

* Zoom In: Focus on Executive Review *

A new campaign sponsored by the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense
Committee (LP-DOC) 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:

Action #1: Personal Response--Where you'll provide a photographic
image of yourself holding a campaign sign, as well as your name,
address and e-mail address.

Action #2: Community Response--Where you'll go out into your
community and get others to participate in the campaign.

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.

For details and instructions, see www.whoisleonardpeltier.info.

We also ask that you contribute $1 to help us 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". If you prefer, you may donate online
at www.whoisleonardpeltier.info.

Contrary to what some say, the Committee has limited resources and,
like any other grassroots organization, struggles financially. Your
dollars 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 and successfully
implemented in the months ahead. Please give what you can.

Deadline

All photos should be received NO LATER THAN JANUARY 31, 2010 (but
please don't wait until then to send us your photo).

Again, for instructions, see www.whoisleonardpeltier.info. Download
the campaign kit and review all of the materials provided. The
campaign e-mail address is zoom@whoisleonardpeltier.info.
Don't hesitate to ask questions or request assistance.

Note to our local support group coordinators: Please let us know
you're on board with this new campaign by sending an e-mail to
zoom@whoisleonardpeltier.info. We'll work closely with you to
help you succeed. To assist us with the planning of branch-specific
special communications (which may be state, regional or international
in scope) please provide your name and location in the body of
your e-mail.

Thanks to all of you for the work you do. With your help, Leonard
WILL see freedom soon.
