Our letters are really working. We are getting complaint calls about the amount mail, faxes and phone calls that are coming in about Leonard's case.

Today the Canadian Embassy called because of all the mail and faxes. The Canadian Justice Minister Anne Mc Clellan's office also reported that they are getting flooded with mail. Ms. Kathleen Hawk Director, Bureau of Prisons and Warden Booker have also been telling people that they are getting overwhelmed by the correspondence on behalf of Leonard Peltier. Please keep writing.

At this time letters and faxes to President Bill Clinton and his assistant in charge of Executive Clemency Charles Ruff are URGENTLY needed. Please ask your friends, family and associates to take this time to make it a priority to contact the President and urge him to Grant Executive Clemency. Organize a letter writing party. A number of prominent Democrats believe that this is the most likely time for Clinton to grant Clemency. Now that the Impeachment Hearings are over we have been told that we must step up the pressure during the next few weeks.

Dear Mr. President Clinton,

I am writing to say how relieved I am that the Impeachment Hearings are over. Now that that terrible ordeal has passed, please grant Native American activist Leonard Peltier Executive Clemency. I know you must share my concern for an innocent person such as Mr. Peltier, who is suffering life in prison for a crime he did not commit. Leonard Peltier has been incarcerated now for twenty-three years despite the fact that the government has conceded on numerous occasions that they do not know who is responsible for the deaths of the agents or what part Leonard Peltier may have had in them. I am adding my voice to those who have been requesting that you free Leonard Peltier.

While the Impeachment hearings were consuming much of your time many international Human Rights organizations have urged you to look into the case of Leonard Peltier. On February 11, 1999 the European Parliament passed a resolution (B4-0169,0175,0179 and 0199/99) insisting that you grant Mr. Peltier Executive Clemency. Amnesty International also urged you to review the case of Leonard Peltier as part of it's campaign against human rights violations committed by the United States. This December Leonard's case was featured at the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights in Paris. Now that the Impeachment Hearings are over I know that you will listen to the many millions of people who are asking you to free Mr. Peltier.

I strongly urge you to do the right thing and grant executive clemency to Leonard Peltier. Millions of people internationally know the case of Leonard Peltier and what it symbolizes and millions upon millions more continue to learn about it. If you listen to our valid demands for justice, you will be remembered by millions for a gracious act, which you will go down in history for. Please listen to all of us who are asking you to free Leonard Peltier.

Leonard is suffering from severe health conditions. He filed for executive clemency five years ago. Please do not send me a form letter stating that his petition is still under review by the justice department. Instead, please look into this case and take immediate action. Thank you.

Sincerely,

(Your Signature)
