Eyes On Members of Congress

10 July 2009


Friends,

Your help is urgently needed. Please, everyone, take a few minutes to contact your Members of Congress and urge them to write a letter to the U.S. Parole Commission by TUESDAY, JULY 14, on behalf of Leonard Peltier. Use fax or e-mail. You may also consult your senators' and representative's Web sites for telephone numbers. Get started now.

Please also contact the following Members of Congress who have supported Peltier in the past to urge them to immediately write a letter to the U.S. Parole Commission.

--> Rep. John Conyers, Jr., Chairman, House Judiciary Committee. Call 202-225-3951.

--> Sen. Daniel Inouye via the Committee on Indian Affairs at (202) 224-2251; comments@indian.senate.gov. A SHOUT OUT to Minnesota: Remember that your new senator, Al Franken, is the newest member of the Committee on Indian Affairs. Drop him a line, too.

--> The members of the Congressional Black Caucus at 202-226-9776; congressionalblackcaucus@mail.house.gov. Remind them of the congressional briefing with the CBC on the Peltier case on May 17, 2000. A number of the members supported Leonard a decade ago and must do so again. They can help to educate their newer members, as well. But time is of the essence. Members of special note include Rep. John Conyers, Jr., (MI), Rep. John Lewis (GA), Rep. Maxine Waters (CA), and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC).

The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee also has asked that all supporters contact Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to urge her also to renew her commitment to Leonard's freedom. Contact the Speaker of the House at 202-225-0100. Or use e-mail: http://speaker.house.gov/contact/ or AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov. San Francisco constituents may also reach Ms. Pelosi at (415) 556-4862 or at her DC office (202-225-4965).

Time to set him free... Because it's the RIGHT thing to do.
