LETTERS TO CLINTON URGENTY NEEDED
Our letters are really working. We are getting complaint calls about the
amount mail, faxes and phone calls that are coming in about Leonard's case.
Today the Canadian Embassy called because of all the mail and faxes. The
Canadian Justice Minister Anne Mc Clellan's office also reported that they
are getting flooded with mail. Ms. Kathleen Hawk Director, Bureau of
Prisons and Warden Booker have also been telling people that they are
getting overwhelmed by the correspondence on behalf of Leonard Peltier.
Please keep writing. At this time letters and faxes to President Bill
Clinton and his assistant in charge of Executive Clemency Charles Ruff are
URGENTLY needed. Please ask your friends, family and associates to take
this time to make it a priority to contact the President and urge him to
Grant Executive Clemency. Organize a letter writing party. A number of
prominent Democrats believe that this is the most likely time for Clinton
to grant Clemency. Now that the Impeachment Hearings are over we have been
told that we must step up the pressure during the next few weeks.
SAMPLE LETTER TO CLINTON
The Honorable President William Jefferson Clinton
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500
Phone 202-456-1414
Fax 202-456-2461
Dear Mr. President Clinton,
I am writing to say how relieved I am that the Impeachment Hearings are
over. Now that that terrible ordeal has passed, please grant Native
American activist Leonard Peltier Executive Clemency. I know you must share
my concern for an innocent person such as Mr. Peltier, who is suffering
life in prison for a crime he did not commit. Leonard Peltier has been
incarcerated now for twenty-three years despite the fact that the
government has conceded on numerous occasions that they do not know who is
responsible for the deaths of the agents or what part Leonard Peltier may
have had in them. I am adding my voice to those who have been requesting
that you free Leonard Peltier.
While the Impeachment hearings were consuming much of your time many
international Human Rights organizations have urged you to look into the
case of Leonard Peltier. On February 11, 1999 the European Parliament
passed a resolution (B4-0169,0175,0179 and 0199/99) insisting that you
grant Mr. Peltier Executive Clemency. Amnesty International also urged you
to review the case of Leonard Peltier as part of it's campaign against
human rights violations committed by the United States. This December
Leonard's case was featured at the 50th anniversary commemoration of the
Universal Declaration on Human Rights in Paris. Now that the Impeachment
Hearings are over I know that you will listen to the many millions of
people who are asking you to free Mr. Peltier.
.
I strongly urge you to do the right thing and grant executive clemency to
Leonard Peltier. Millions of people internationally know the case of
Leonard Peltier and what it symbolizes and millions upon millions more
continue to learn about it. If you listen to our valid demands for justice,
you will be remembered by millions for a gracious act, which you will go
down in history for. Please listen to all of us who are asking you to free
Leonard Peltier.
Leonard is suffering from severe health conditions. He filed for executive
clemency five years ago. Please do not send me a form letter stating that
his petition is still under review by the justice department. Instead,
please look into this case and take immediate action. Thank you.
Sincerely,…
CLEMENCY:
President Bill Clinton
