>Why? Leonard Peltier applied for Executive Clemency in November of 1993.
>Millions have since signed petitions, written letters, and passed

>Jesse Jackson, fifty members of Congress, Amnesty International, the
>National Congress of American Indians, and The National Council of Churches
>are just a few examples of groups and individuals who have urged President
>Clinton to grant Executive Clemency to Peltier. Normally the review

>five years supporters have received no response from the Clinton
>administration aside from a form letter stating that the petition is still

>Peltier's case has come to symbolize injustice for all Native people. The
>government has conceded numerous times that they do not know who killed the
>agents or what involvement Peltier may have had in their deaths. They say
>that someone must pay. An investigation into the sixty murders of
>traditional people, AIM members, and supporters during the FBI backed
>"reign of terror" (1973-1976) on the Pine Ridge Reservation has never
>happened. To Native people this exemplifies America's continued attitude
>that Indigenous lives have no value, but when white lives, especially those
>of law enforcement officers, are lost someone must pay--innocent or guilty.

> Peltier supporters will again be organizing acts of civil disobedience on
>February 6th which will mark 23 years since Peltier's conviction. This
>campaign will continue until the following actions are taken:
>
>� Peltier is transferred to the Mayo clinic for proper medical treatment
>
>� Peltier is granted executive clemency
>
>� Congress investigates and exposes the Pine Ridge "reign of terror" and
>Peltier's illegal incarceration as a result.
