WORLDWIDE CARD WRITING CAMPAIGN

Online Clemency Campaign:

http://users.skynet.be/kola/lppet.htm

On February 6th, 2007, it was exactly 31 years ago since Leonard Peltier was arrested in Canada. In January/February we asked you to join in a writing campaign, for which we had put printable postcards online. The campaign was followed up by hundreds of people worldwide. That is why we decided to repeat this action several times this coming year.

However, for this second worldwide writing campaign, scheduled for the entire month of April, we will now provide you will real "paper" postcards. Again, the campaign focuses on the demand for executive clemency for Leonard Peltier. The postcards are addressed to President George W. Bush. We need to know how many cards you will be needing. And we need to know this as soon as possible so we can order them and send them to you in time. Please send us a message with your complete name + address and how many cards you intend to distribute and send out. You can either send a message to the LPDC at info@leonardpeltier.net or to the IPF at ipforum@skynet.be

Courts Deny Leonard Peltier Access to Thousands of Pages of Long Hidden FBI Documents

COURTS DENY LEONARD PELTIER ACCESS TO THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF LONG-HIDDEN FBI DOCUMENTS.

In two separate decisions rendered this month, United States District Judge Donovan W. Frank and a three-judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit refused to order the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to release thousands of pages of documents relating to Leonard Peltier.
Both Judge Frank and the Appeals Court upheld claims by the FBI that release of the sought-after information would, among other things, cause serious damage to the national security of the United States and the war on transnational terrorism.
In 2003, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit declared that, “Much of the government’s behavior at the Pine Ridge Reservation and in its prosecution of Mr. Peltier is to be condemned. The government withheld evidence. It intimidated witnesses. These facts are undisputed.” Nevertheless, Judge Frank found that any evidence of prior FBI misconduct was “irrelevant.”
Michael Kuzma, attorney for Leonard Peltier in both cases brought under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) said that, “The Courts are unwilling to dispense justice when it comes to Leonard Peltier.”
Kuzma went on to state, “How can anyone claim that Leonard Peltier received a fair trial in 1977 when the government withheld and continues to withhold thousands and thousands of pages of FBI documents?”
Barry A. Bachrach, who served as co-counsel with Kuzma, indicated that he was, “disappointed, but not surprised that the Courts elected to summarily uphold the decision by the FBI to keep the documents hidden on dubious national security grounds.” Bachrach went on to ask, “How can FBI documents generated over three decades ago possibly pose a threat to the national security of the United States?”
Judge Frank’s decision will be appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Peltier attorneys have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal.
Leonard Peltier, a member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), was convicted in Fargo, North Dakota, on April 18, 1977 for the shooting deaths of FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota on June 26, 1975.

First Campaign Barbs Tied to Jailed Man

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2895962&page=1

First Campaign Barbs Tied to Jailed Man
President Bill Clinton's Decision Not to Pardon Leonard Peltier Lost His Wife a Key Supporter -- and Helped Gain Barack Obama a Friend

Feb. 22, 2007 — The sharpest political snipes among the Democratic 2008 presidential hopefuls can be traced beyond media mogul David Geffen to a jailed man named Leonard Peltier.
Peltier, convicted of murder in 1977 for allegedly gunning down a pair of FBI agents in a shootout at South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, was one of the primary reasons cited by Geffen for jumping ship from New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign in favor of fellow Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
Lawyers have been challenging Peltier's conviction for the past 30 years. He has become a cause celebre, with critics arguing that the government's successful prosecution was corrupt.
In 2001, Geffen, a key Democratic supporter with deep pockets and influence among Hollywood's elite, was one of many high-profile backers of a clemency campaign for Peltier, an American Indian activist, during the final days of Bill Clinton's presidency.
FBI supporters, however, fought back, launching an aggressive campaign of their own to keep a man who they believed killed two agents behind bars. Among their tactics were full-page newspaper ads and a march on the White House to influence Clinton's decision.
Ultimately, Peltier was left off a list of 140 people granted presidential pardons by Clinton during his second term.
"President Clinton looked at the facts and did not act," one agent said at the time. "That's all I've ever wanted out of this."
But the list of people who received clemency, teamed with the continued belief by many that Peltier was wrongfully convicted, left many angered by Clinton's decision.
"Up to the last minute, they were fully expecting that he would receive clemency," Barry Bachrach, Peltier's attorney, told ABC News. "But you end up seeing people like Marc Rich, a known felon, getting clemency instead."
"There was a mass outcry," Bachrach said.
Peltier remains in a Pennsylvania prison. He is scheduled for a parole hearing in December 2008.
Curt Goering, deputy executive director for Amnesty International in the United States, worked on the Peltier clemency campaign and recalls Geffen's contributions both in terms of time and money.
To him, Peltier's continued influence on Geffen does not come as a total surprise.
"It's another indicator that his case has achieved such substantial support from people for a long period of time," Goering said.
"The disappointment was so huge," he said. "People didn't forget and many even resolved to redouble their efforts."
That was clearly the case in comments made by Geffen in a lightning rod New York Times column Wednesday.
''Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?'' Geffen told Times' columnist Maureen Dowd.
And then, referring to the Peltier case, Geffen continued, ''Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in.
"Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling," Geffen said.
The column, which ran a day after Geffen hosted a California fundraiser for Obama that fetched $1.3 million and drew celebrities including Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman, set off a day of bitter back-and-forth between the Obama and Clinton camps.

Boulder, Colo.— Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Theatre13, and Warrior Artists Productions are proud to present the world premiere of the staged adaptation of “Prison Writings: My Life is My Sun Dance” written by imprisoned human rights activist Leonard Peltier with Harvey Arden. Convicted of murder in 1976, Peltier has been incarcerated for thirty-one years. Many believe that he was unjustly convicted and unfairly imprisoned. In 1999 he published “Prison Writings” a collection of essays, poetry and reflections on more than thirty years of activism from behind prison walls. Peltier’s play is a deeply moving account of one man’s struggle to survive prison life while working for healing, forgiveness and fair treatment within an inherently flawed justice system.

Numerous peace activists, Nobel Prize Laureates, celebrities, scholars, legal experts and organizations continue to call for Peltier’s immediate release. Among them, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rev. Desmond Tutu, the late Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Robert Redford, Rev. Jessie Jackson, and Coretta Scott King. This list is but a fraction of those who continue to advocate for Peltier’s release.

“His case is perhaps the prime example of the American government's continuing failure to resolve its longstanding mistreatment of Native America,” says Theatre13’s co-managing director Judson Webb. Webb and Paul Soderman of Warrior Artists, the producers of "My Life Is My Sun Dance," say they are compelled to give voice to the story of this man's struggle to serve his people. “Our hope is that the U.S. government will take responsibility for its mistakes and be the government we expect it to be, a government that seeks justice rather than vengeance,” says Webb.

The show will open on March 15, 2007 at 7 p.m. at BMoCA, 1750 13th Street. Performances will run March 15,16,17,18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 and April 1. There will be no preview. The Sunday performances will be matinees with curtain at 3:30 p.m. Ticket prices will be general admission $25.00. Thursday ticket prices are two for one with curtain at 7:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday shows are at 8:00 p.m. All Sunday matinees are $10.00. Theatre13 will host a closing reception on Sunday, April 1 immediately following the final performance.

Doug Foote, who plays Peltier, dances for the sheer joy of the dance. His Lakota tribal name is Wiyaka Waste (pronounced Wee-ah-kah Wash-tay), translated as "Beautiful Feather." Raised on Standing Rock Indian Reservation—home to Sitting Bull—Foote is a fluent speaker of the Lakota language, a champion Fancy Dancer and master Native singer. He served in the US Army Reserve completing two tours in Iraq during 2003 and 2004. Doug now attends Red Rocks Community College, working towards a degree in counseling. “I believe in peace and intend to promote peace and unity with all people. I live to be a loving father to my children and a good and loving man to others. This is how I was raised and is what I believe in. Through our Lakota ways I believe in me and in life. Mitakue Oyasin.”

“My Life is My Sun Dance” is directed by Cathie Quigley-Soderman. She graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and in 1990 completed her MFA in directing at Columbia University Graduate School of the Arts. She then went on to direct classical and new plays in theaters throughout New York City, followed by several years working in the Los Angeles film industry, assisting Warner Brothers’ director Richard Donner. Quigley-Soderman also has written four original screenplays.

Quigley-Soderman, along with her husband Paul, are co-founders of Warrior Artists Productions, a comprehensive production company and record label dedicated to discovering, developing and producing audio recordings and documentary style films of gifted musicians who are recovering from alcoholism. All profits from the performances will go to the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee.

Theatre13, dedicated to the spirit of collaboration, is committed to an ever-deepening exploration of the theatrical experience. We seek to engage and inspire the audience, provide a nurturing home for artists, and contribute a stylistically diverse body of contemporary and original work.

Artist Suit Challenged County Censorship Bid

2 Paintings Are Back Up As Morris Backs Down
Artist suit challenged county censorship bid

Wednesday, February 07, 2007
BY BILL SWAYZE AND LAWRENCE RAGONESE
Star-Ledger Staff

Two of dozens of paintings hanging in the Morris County Administration Building in Morristown were considered offensive and removed by county government officials, triggering a federal lawsuit that was resolved yesterday with an agreement to put the works back on the wall.
Artist Gladys Barker Grauer sued the county and Prosecutor Michael M. Rubbinaccio after learning on the opening night of an African-American art show in January that works urging the release from prison of convicted cop killers Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier were taken down.
The 83-year-old Newark artist, in legal papers, charged that Rubbinaccio directed county employees to take the portraits down. Last night, however, she said the county informed her it was not Rubbinaccio who made that request.
"What happened was a victory for artists' freedom of expression," Grauer said yesterday after the settlement was reached. "I was infuriated when they took them down. No one should be able to see a piece of art as offensive and have them removed."
Her two paintings are acrylics on plastic bag strips that are woven together. They were painted last year and included as part of the 15th annual African-American art show held in the county building, this year entitled, "Legacy, Homage to An American Master, Charles W. White." White was an African-American artist whose work has been exhibited in most major U.S. art museums.
The two pieces were hung on the third floor, near the entrance to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. The message of the work was brought to the attention of county officials by an unnamed police official on Jan. 26, causing them to be taken down, said Diana Vance, the county's director of policy and administration.
"Both pieces of art called for the freeing of convicted murderers, people who have killed police officers," said Vance. "We felt that was inappropriate content. Plus, it was placed near the prosecutor's office. That did not seem right, and not sensitive."
Jamal, a former Black Panther, is on death row for the 1981 murder of a Philadelphia police officer. Peltier, a Native American, is serving two consecutive life terms for the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Like many others, Grauer believes they were wrongly imprisoned.
Before removing the artwork, Vance said she phoned Charles Craig, a representative of Art in the Atrium, a nonprofit group that runs the art show, to inform him.
"He said, 'okay,' and we took them down," said Vance.
But the artist challenged their removal in a federal lawsuit filed by Newark attorney Kathleen Goger.
Yesterday, the county and Grauer settled their differences. The county agreed to rehang Grauer's art, but in a different spot. Vance planned to personally put them up last night though she had not yet chosen a specific location.
"We thought it would be best to avoid potentially costly litigation," said Vance, who hashed out the deal with Grauer outside of federal court in Newark, with the aid of county attorneys Ronald Kevitz and Daniel O'Mullan. "We didn't want to be in a position of spending a large sum of money on a court case here," she said.
Grauer is an accomplished artist who attended the Art Institute of Chicago and later operated what at the time was Newark's only art gallery, the Aard Studio Gallery. Her work has been exhibited in many museums and galleries, including the National Museum in Senegal, the Newark Museum and the Harlem Museum at Morgan State University.
This is not the first time an art show in the halls of Morris County government has caused controversy. In 1997, there was a two-week censorship battle over the works of Maplewood artist Russell Murray.
"Angry White Mail" included a white toilet stuffed with a white mailbox overflowing with letters marked with the word "anger." Murray termed it a visual pun on the phrase "angry white male." His "WUSA," a poke at talk radio, generated some concern because it used two tattered remnants of stars and stripes windsocks that drew some complaints from people concerned it might be a slight toward the American flag. Murray said it was not.
The county freeholders, at that time, agreed to a hands-off policy on art shows held in the administration building.
"Art can be very controversial, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder," said Freeholder Joan Bramhall, who is now the county clerk.
"That art is a great asset here. It should never be interfered with by the freeholder board," added Freeholder Sue Murphy Ostergaard.
The current exhibit, including Grauer's work, will be on display through March 30.

Thirty One Years of Injustice! Freedom NOW for Leonard Peltier !

Feb 6, 2007 marks the 31st anniversary of Leonard Peltier’s arrest in Canada, which later led to his illegal extradition to the United States using coerced and fraudulent testimony.
THIRTY ONE YEARS later, Leonard Peltier remains in prison, even though the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
“There is a possibility that the jury would have acquitted Leonard Peltier had the record and data improperly withheld from the defense been available to him in order to better exploit and reinforce the inconsistencies casting strong doubts upon the governments case .”
Yet the Court denied Mr. Peltier a new trial. Leonard Peltier remains in prison.
