> >Dear Friends, > >We called the White House Comment Line this morning to urge the president to >grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. We asked the operator if she was >receiving many calls, and she replied that she is not. Let's get those >phone banks cranked up again! Please be sure to make your call to the White >House at least once a week, and have others do the same! Don't forget to >let us know when the operators reveal anything reflecting the volume of >calls being received. We must make sure at least 100 calls go in every >single day, from now until the president leaves office (or signs the >clemency of course). YOUR CALLS MATTER. Here is a reminder of the regional >call-in days, and some tips on organizing phone banks. THANK YOU! > >northeast-Mondays. >southeast-Tuesdays >mid-west and international-Wednesdays >northwest-Thursdays >southwest call on Fridays. > >ORGANIZE PHONE BANKS: >Each one of us needs to organize a small committee of friends to call on >their day of the week. Once a week is enough, but you must convince your >friends and family that they must really call, not just think about calling. >This means getting them really mad about the case, and explaining to them >that their calls really do have impact, and that these efforts are not a >waste of time. Experience tells us that these calls are effective. Jennifer >Harbury heard from US officials that the massive calling sessions during her >hunger strikes in Guatemala played a critical role in forcing government >action. The feedback from last fall was really good as well. Our friends in >Congress have also let us know that a high volume of calls shows them that >their voters are really interested in a given issue. If dozens of calls >start coming in on the same issue, they pay careful attention. So for those >of you who have limited time and want to help, please know how much your >calls really matter. Try and get a group of ten committed people going in >your area. Remind everyone each week to make their calls and ask them to let >you know at the end of the day how the calls went. Getting feedback from our >teams really helps us plan our strategies. > >Most people will feel more confident and involved if you give them some >basic information before they start calling. Give them the 7 page fact >summary to read, if they don't have time for one of the books. It is >available on our web site (www.freepeltier.org under "Peltier FAQ), or you >can call and ask us to mail it to you. > > > > > >Call the White House Comments Line Today >Demand Justice for Leonard Peltier! 202-456-1111 > >Be in New York City December 10th >Peltier March For Freedom! > >Leonard Peltier Defense Committee >PO Box 583 >Lawrence, KS 66044 >785-842-5774 >www.freepeltier.org >To subscribe, send a blank message to < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To unsubscribe, send a blank message to < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To change your email address, send a message to < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> with your old address in the Subject line > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >To subscribe, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To unsubscribe, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To change your email address, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with your old address in the Subject: line > > _______________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
