Outrage At Bush And FBI From Leonard Peltier Supporters
By Kari Ann Cowan
FARGO, N.D. -- The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) recently influenced the federal prison system to transfer elder Native American, Leonard Peltier, to a facility for young gang members where upon his arrival he was immediately attacked and severely beaten. He was thrown into solitary confinement and denied proper medical care and food.

The FBI has put out a letter encouraging others to indulge in whatever activities they can to block a possible pardon by President Obama for Leonard Peltier.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
The President and only the President has the power to grant clemency. It is a power given to the President by the U.S. Constitution with no conditions attached.

Call President Obama to express your outrage and concern, and ask him to pardon Leonard now at 202-456-1111 (White House comment line: don't push any buttons, and a real person will answer your call)

E-mail President Obama to express your outrage and concern, and ask him to pardon Leonard now at www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ or email comments@whitehouse.gov or use or online petition form at http://users.skynet.be/kola/lppet.htm (this petition form is sent directly to the White House!)

Write to President Obama to express your outrage and concern, and ask him to grant executive clemency to / a commutation of sentence for Leonard Peltier now.

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington D.C. 20500
(USA)

Don't do it once. Do it every single day !!!

(It has been suggested by his attorney, Michael Kuzma, that Leonard be transferred to the Turtle Mountain Reservation or Sandstone or Oxford FCIs )

Please, President Obama, get Leonard to safety ASAP!!!
