LEONARD PELTIER:
'United, we will save Mumia'
The following is excerpted from a statement by Native
leader Leonard Peltier, who is serving two consecutive life
sentences in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Millions in the
U.S. and around the world believe that Peltier, like Abu-Jamal,
is the victim of a racist government frame-up.

Greetings, friends and supporters,
It is you, the people, who must put the pressure on to win
this case. Speak out! Without your support, the Federal Courts
will sweep everything under the rug as usual. With Mumia's life
at stake, you must react very strongly and swiftly yet with
intelligence and control. You must show the world that you are
prepared and ready to stop Mumia's execution.
Because of Mumia's outrageous case and his gifted ability to
put into words many of our realities, serious concerns with the
justice system, the death penalty, and political prisoners are
now on the forefront. We need Mumia to be free so that he can
continue to make a difference to change a society which
devalues life, dignity, justice and freedom.
United, we will save Mumia.
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,
Leonard Peltier
