*Additional note from the LPDC attached after message*
(dictated by phone from Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary)
Dear brothers and sisters, friends and supporters,
I just want to thank everyone for their contributions toward this year's
clemency effort. I know a lot of people think that the LPDC has access to
sizeable funding due to the support we have from many affluent people, but
in reality, our movement has always been a grass roots movement. And, I
have learned all too well over the years that the only people we can depend
on to struggle and sacrifice for what is right, is each other. We are the
ones who do not have much to lose, unlike many who enjoy luxuries and a life
style we could never even imagine having access to. However, I know that
that means every penny you have donated has not come easy and I want you to
know that I very much appreciate your heart felt help. The LPDC tells me
that we have now raised $17,053 and that we are close to being able to hire
the PR firm who we so desperately need at this time. They are the people
with the connections we need, both among the media and in Washington DC, and
I cannot express to you how important their help is. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
my friends for your support. We could not do it without you. You continue
to give me hope for a happy ending to this year's struggle.
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,
Leonard Peltier
LPDC NOTE: We want to remind everyone that the fund drive is set to end on
Leonard Peltier's birthday, which is only 5 days away! Our total fund
raising goal is $50,000, which means we still have $28,000 to raise. If you
are in a position to contribute any amount, and have not gotten around to
sending in that donation yet, now is the time to do it! Let's get as close
as we possibly can to reaching our goal on Leonard's birthday. If each of
Leonard's supporters donated just a small amount, we would have enough to
really pump up this fight! Thank you very much for your continued support
and help.
PS We are waiting for the new sweatshirts to come in. For those of you who
donated $100, you will receive your gift sweatshirt as soon as we get them
in! Thanks for your patience.
