2009 Peltier Gift Drive

From:    contact@whoisleonardpeltier.info
Date: Wed, November 18, 2009

Leonard Peltier is organizing a holiday gift drive for the children of
Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and the Turtle Mountain Reservation
in Belcourt, North Dakota. Leonard grew up on the Turtle Mountain
Reservation and many of his family members still live there.

This annual gift drive is one way in which Leonard continues his
humanitarian work for his people. Help Leonard reach out beyond the bars
that imprison him.

Remember... The gift drive helps the children and families, but also
Leonard himself. Help keep Leonard's spirit strong through the difficult
holiday season.

Mail all gifts to:
Waha Peltier
PO Box 159
Pine Ridge, SD 57770

Turtle Mountain Tribal Agency
Gifts from Leonard Peltier
c/o Cindy Malaterre
PO Box 900
Belcourt, ND 58316

Send new (unwrapped) toys, warm clothing, books, school supplies, etc.,
for children of ALL ages (newborn to 18 years). To ensure delivery by
Christmas, mail your gift no later than December 17. Thank you for your
generous support.

----- ZOOM IN Campaign The outpouring of support for the new campaign is
overwhelming and we can't thank everyone enough for their enthusiastic
participation. Support branches that haven't checked in, please do so
today. Send an e-mail to zoom@whoisleonardpeltier.info.

We're planning some special activities to help you with the public
education aspects of the campaign. We need to hear from you to help with
scheduling. The first response to the new campaign was received from
Verlon Jose, Chairman, Tohono O'odham Legislative Council (AZ) and we've
heard from many long-time supporters like Ted Glick and Pam Africa.

We're very pleased to have them on board. One of our support branches in
New Mexico already has plans to canvass community events to educate folks
and get as many people involved as possible. Not to be outdone, supporters
in Europe are hard at work, as well. People are having fun with the idea,
too--showing their hobbies, occupations, and cultures through the clothes
they wear for their photos. Leonard is thrilled with the response. Keep up
the great work. It's easy to join in. Learn all about the campaign on our
Web site at www.whoisleonardpeltier.info. Don't have a printer? Make your
own sign.

Just make certain it's large and clear enough to be visible in your photo
and that it says, "Executive Review NOW!" Don't know how to create your
personal flyer? Drop us a line and we'll help. For the answers to your
questions and technical assistance, send an e-mail to
zoom@whoisleonardpeltier.info. Okay, everybody, strike a pose!

Art Prints
How about giving a Peltier print to that someone special on your Christmas
list? We have new prints of several of Leonard's paintings: "Visions of
Freedom," "White Mountain Lady," and "Woman Coming Out of the Water." They
really are special and look fantastic framed. We're accepting orders now.
Each print sells for $35.00 (USD). Check out our Merchandise Page at
www.whoisleonardpeltier.info.
