>Greetings,

>Solidarity Fast/Hunger Strike. 5 more days to build this. It has already
>grown far larger than any of us had hoped for. At this time we have 50
>fasters (see list below our statement at the bottom of this message) and
>46 additional support people who will be getting the faster's statements
>out.
> Often, it is said that we are powerless against the forces of greed and
>oppression. I have never believed that. For, I believe, that the only time
>we are powerless is when we decide not to use our power. All those
>people who have made the conscious decision to organize for the
>February 6th International Day In Solidarity With Leonard Peltier,
>all those that have made the conscious decision to come out on that
>day, and all those that have joined the Leonard Peltier Solidarity Fast/
>Hunger Strike are making a clear statement that we are not powerless.
>Each person is important, for the power of this struggle is the
>accumiation of all of it's parts.
> These actions are further steps in a long struggle. They are a direct
>continuation of all that has been done before them, and they are the
>bridge to the future success of our struggle. For I have never had any
>doubt that as long as we continue to struggle and build that struggle
>in the spirit of unity, we will see Leonard free.
> The forces of evil believe that they can do anything they want to
>Leonard, frame him up, deny him all his rights, continue to harass him
>within the iron house, and now torture him. The Leonard Peltier
>Solidarity Fast/Hunger Strike is an act of drawing a line in the dirt and
>saying that we will not allow this to continue!
> Some fasters will be fasting in shifts, as for me personally, I will be
>fasting as long as it is necessary. For too many years this has gone on,
>for too many years the brick wall of the government's lies and cover-ups
>has blocked our path. It is time to take a stand on a higher level of
>personal commitment. I will not be fasting just for Leonard, for the
>struggle of Leonard has long since become a struggle of the people
>against the forces of the greedy evil madness that is a plague upon our
>world.
> The purpose of the fast/hunger strike is to call attention to the torture
>of Leonard and to motivate people to act to end that torture. Everyone
>is welcome to help. You can join the fast/hunger strike, you can aid
>the fast/hunger strike by helping to get out the statements of the fasters,
>and you send daily messages to the BOP. An e-mail list has been set
>up for the fast/hunger strike as an act of solidarity by the Telecom &
>Computer Worker' Local 23. Upon this list all the statements of the
>fasters will be posted. To get on to this list please send a message

> STATEMENT

> Whereas, the medical condition of American Indian Movement activist
>and political prisoner Leonard Peltier is severe and could become
>potentially life threating, the repeated denials by the federal prison
>system, for two and a half years, of the necessary medical treatment
>offered by the Mayo Clinic is nothing other than politically motivated
>torture. Leonard Peltier has been, and is, living daily in excrutiating
>pain. The U.S. Government should be held accountable for this act of
>torture. Should Leonard Peltier's condition become critical, the denial
>of medical treatment offered for free by the Mayo Clinic should be
>viewed as an act of attempted murder.
>
> Therefore, THE LEONARD PELTIER SOLIDARITY FAST/HUNGER
>STRIKE will begin on February 6th, and has the purpose of calling
>attention to and helping to mobilize support to end the torture of
>Leonard Peltier. This campaign will continue until Leonard is undergoing
>treatment in the Mayo Clinic.
>
> Upon February 6th, we are asking those who can to join us on this
>hunger strike. Each day of the fast two different fasters will issue a
>statement, one in the morning and one in the evening, in their own
>words calling for the end of the torture. We are also asking people
>who support this campaign to help widely distribute these statements.
>
> Furthermore, we are asking that supporters on each day of the hunger
>strike e-mail messages to: Ms. Kathleen Hawk, Director, Bureau Of
>Prisons at: [EMAIL PROTECTED], asking that Leonard be allowed medical
>treatment at the Mayo Clinic. We are also asking supporters to take
>whatever positive local actions will advance this campaign.
