Greetings All
  At this time it is very important to get as many different messages of

clemency before he leaves office. All of the phone calls, letters,  
petitions are at this time are important. Below you  will find a signon
e-mail petition in which we are asking everyone who supports it to please  
sign on to it and then return it to us at  the NWLPSN at:bayou-AT-blarg.net.
   On the weekend of Dec.2-3 we will repost to everyone who has signed it  
and we ask that you e-mail it to President Clinton in the following week.  
Also, if you are willing, print it out and mail it to President Clinton  
with a personal note. Thank you for your time and support.

  PETITION IN SUPPORT OF CLEMENCY FOR LEONARD PELTIER
  TO PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

Whereas: Leonard Peltier was originally convicted of murder of two FBI  
agents on the Pine Ridge Oglala Lakota Reservation, but formerly withheld  
documents supporting Peltier's innocence later forced the prosecution to  
admit that they could not prove who actually killed the agents, and  
despite this lack of evidence, Peltier has remained in prison for 24  
years, and

Whereas: The trial of Leonard's co-defendants resulted in a not guilty  
verdict based upon the right of self-defense, and

Whereas: There is disturbing evidence of FBI misconduct in this case, that  
falsified affidavits were used to extradite Peltier from Canada, that  
ballistics tests were falsified and young witnesses were intimidated, that  
even the U.S. Attorney has admitted no one knows who pulled the trigger  
that killed the two FBI agents, and

Whereas: The case of Leonard Peltier came about because of a long conflict  
on the Pine Ridge Oglala Lakota Reservation that resulted in the suffering  
of many people, and

Whereas: Peltier, a Native American activist, has been a model prisoner  
for over 24 years, with no record of violence and has contributed to many  
humanitarian efforts from prison, and that the seriousness of his  
deteriorating health could result in stroke, heart disease and kidney  
failure if not properly treated soon, and that his Parole Board recently  
denied his request for parole and his next hearing is not scheduled until  
the year 2008,

Therefore be it Resolved. That the undersigned people do encourage  
President, William Jefferson Clinton to grant Leonard Peltier Executive  
Clemency in the spirit of reconciliation.

Signed
