Subject: Message from Leonard Peltier - from the Leonard Peltier Defense

Committee



Dear Supporters:



I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support,

prayers, letters and cards that I receive on a daily basis. You don't know

how good it feels to receive the letters and cards letting me know that I

have not been forgotten. A recurring question that many supporters ask me in

their letters is How Can I help? I can answer that question very simply,

Contact the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee either by phone, letters or

email and ask the LPDC how you can best help. I can guarantee you that they

will tell you that our needs our great and that we need everyone's help,

whether it be in the form of a donation, writing letters of support,

volunteering to work on a special project, or perhaps form a Leonard

Peltier Support Group in your area. The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee is

the center of communication between us. For those of you who have been with

me the last 30 years, I can simply say Thank You! For those of you who are

new to the struggle I also say Thank you and Welcome. Your support, thoughts

and prayers keep me strong.



I recently received a letter from the Oglala Commemoration providing me with

an update on the June 26 Oglala Commemoration that will be held in memory of

all the victims of the Reign of Terror. The Memorial Ceremony will be held

at the Cemetery followed by the Memorial Walk. I want to thank everyone for

their continuing efforts and work in organizing the yearly Oglala

Commemoration in memory of all the victims of the Reign of Terror. I also

want to extend my congratulations to April Merrival. April is the recipient

of the Leonard Peltier Honorary Scholarship Award for 2006. The Oglala

Commemoration presents a Leonard Peltier Honorary Scholarship Award on a

yearly basis



I look forward to the day that I am free among you! I also look forward to

hearing from you and from the LPDC that many of you have contacted them and

are working together towards my freedom. For now I leave you with the

following message:





"Our work will be unfinished until not one human being is hungry or

battered, not one single person is forced to die in war, not one innocent

languishes imprisoned and no one is persecuted for his or her beliefs."



In the Spirit of Crazy Horse

1. From a supporter's view point.....

Greetings,



Leonard Peltier continues to serve an unfair and unjust sentence in United
States Federal Prison. For over 30 years, he has remained in custody for a
crime that many prominent Canadians agree, he did not commit.



The sentence Mr. Peltier received has been under review many times, and his
legal team has worked to obtain appeal grounds under very adverse legal
conditions, and complicit with US government intervention on many occasions.



Yet Leonard Peltier remains in custody after serving a sentence that most
would deem as longer than even a guilty person would have had to endure.
Leonard Peltier remains strong.



The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee (LPDC) works with Mr. Peltier on an
ongoing basis to continue the fight to gain Justice and FREE this man a
leader in the American Indian Movement and a spiritual symbol of oppression
for Native peoples throughout North America.



The work that has been done on Leonard Peltier's behalf in Canada has been a
source of inspiration and education across this country. A difficult job
that has caused many Justice advocates to renew and research the reasons why
Leonard Peltier was removed from Canada to face a hostile and biased US
Court system.



The fight for freedom will go on. At the request of Leonard Peltier a new
effort has been launched to support and gather resources in this cause. The
new effort will see local support group's work with the Leonard Peltier
Defense Committee. The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee team will maintain
contact with worldwide supporters and activists. It is Leonard's request
that all support groups nationally and internationally work under the
direction of Leonard Peltier Defense Committee which is presently in the
process of relocating to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania where Leonard is presently
incarcerated at the USP Lewisburg. The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee is
the direct source of contact with Leonard Peltier, his Legal Defense Team,
and his supporters.



It is time to send a message to Leonard Peltier's friends and supporters
that the fight is getting stronger and that we haven't forgotten the battle
for freedom that many people take personally. Your help will make a
difference. Please visit the Leonard Peltier Official website @
