They've been lifting names off my emails on behalf of Leonard, and spewing these tired old lies to make sure there's never enough public support for Clinton to grant Leonard executive clemency. Sadly, they are succeeding, and it's only us--each of us, you and me--who can expose their plot. Please send their emails back to them with the WRITE-IN PELTIER 4 PREZ e-flyer below, and email the same to every newspaper and radio station in your area as well as to EVERYONE you know. Let's let the world know what they're doing. Here's what I just rec'd: ................................... Subj: "Political" Prisoner Peltier Date: 03/07/2000 10:55:56 PM Eastern Standard Time From: Tierneyjoe To: <> For those who rightly fear downloading documents received from strangers (I don't recognize all the names) you can read the attachment at the web site below: http://www.fbi.gov/contact/fo/minn/peltier.htm You owe it to yourselves to hear what the "Free Peltier" folks are missing themselves, or are not telling you. Genocide may arguably be applied to what the US Government did to Native Americans, especially 100 years ago. Peltier, however, was a thug before he espoused political goals, and he remains a thug. He is in prison for his acts, not for his political goals. Some well-intentioned people are calling him a political prisoner, and calling for a pardon. He does not deserve their support. I have always been amazed at how different criminals look in court, or when being interviewed by the media, or when reaching out for support; you would not recognize them as the same people if you witnessed their crimes, or had to arrest them. I know a Sheriff's Department which requires new Deputies to work a year in their corrections branch before being assigned to their patrol branch; the purpose is to learn how patiently clever and manipulative prisoners can be. Understanding this is something not even experienced patrol officers learn on the street, without that assignment. Make up your minds after you have read the attachment, or visited the site. Joe Tierney ................................... FOLKS, do check-out their incredible website...which they actually seem proud of in their delusion! I sometimes think they may actually believe this disinformation themselves! Every point they make is totally dismantled at www.freepeltier.org...and has been dismantled for many, many years. They were lies to begin with, and they remain lies today. See how your government--your own employees at the Fraudulent Bureau of Injustice--illegally try to manipulate all of us to believe their despicable lies. They are transparent in their utter falseness. Shame on you supposed supporters of the Law and the Constitution! Your own hand-picked federal Prosecutor, like you a hater of Leonard Peltier and a framer of innocents, has ADMITTED REPEATEDLY in FEDERAL COURT that neither he nor the FBI have ANY IDEA who killed their agents back in 1975 at Oglala! You r own federal courts have proclaimed you at least "equally responsible" in the deaths of your own agents. Then what is this decades-old garbage defaming Leonard Peltier doing being hauled out yet once again on your taxpayer-supported website...? Every word is deliberately misleading...the signifant facts are left out entirely...just as happened in Leonard's kangaroo court in trial in Fargo in 1977. You know that as well as we do! What a fraud! When will the FBI root out the criminals in its own midst? Who among you has the spine to stand up? Wouldn't you feel better if you did? Have you bothered to read Leonard's book or Matthiessen's book to know what the hell was really going on with your Agency back then? There's not a reason in the world for today's FBI to cover-up for--and continue to be tarnished forever by-- those Agency zealots who went berserk in the interests of "national security" back in the darkest days of the Cold War in the 1970's. History will look darkly on their deeds. By defending them today over the real interests of Truth and Country and your own Agency, you endanger the very foundations of the democracy you are sworn to protect. If you are so certain of Leonard's guilt, allow a NEW TRIAL OF LEONARD PELTIER --an open and public trial, before TV cameras, with Press in attandance, with hundreds of millions watching as watched the O.J. trial. We will accept that. Until such a time, or until Leonard is granted clemency or a pardon, the ONLY WAY to show our ABSOLUTE OPPOSITION to our own Government's knowing and deliberate deafness and blindness on this matter is to WRITE-IN LEONARD PELTIER FOR PRESIDENT IN 2000! Let them continue with their lies. Every single one of those lies will be transformed into a thousand votes for Leonard Peltier and for Justice in America! /Harvey Arden Here's the latest e-flier on Leonard's ongoing write-in campaign. Please, I ask each of you personally, see that EVERYONE gets a copy along with the full contents of the above message. Let's turn their own lies against them. Join the Gentle Revolution! Be part of the Great Healing! Please ask your Presidential candidate, "Do you support clemency for Leonard Peltier?" Don't let him dodge the issue. If Gore comes out for Leonard, millions of Peltier supporters will vote for him avidly. If he doesn't, they'll write-in LEONARD PELTIER FOR PRESIDENT in 2000. Gore will lose many hundreds of thousands, even millions of votes if he continues to ignore our pleas for the IMMEDIATE release of Leonard Peltier, a man known by all to be innocent of the crime for which he was railroaded. If Gore refuses to heed us, he will not only lose the election but bring continuing shame on the Democratic Party, as Bill Clinton has already done by--among other things--spinelessly bowing down for 7 years to the Unconstitutional lies and intimidations of the FBI regarding Leonard Peltier. Won't you stand up for Leonard with these brave 45 students from Indiana? Students of America, WHERE ARE YOU? I'd like to receive commitments to write-in LEONARD PELTIER FOR PRESIDENT from students of conscience from EVERY COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY IN THE COUNTRY! See form below.

Subj: Pledges from INDIANA for "PREZ FROM THE REZ" ! Date: 03/03/2000 1:49:00 PM Eastern Standard Time From: leroyma@earlham.edu To: Harvey@wisdomkeepers.com Dear Mr. Arden, I am currently about to send you 45 pledges of votes for Leonard Peltier from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. Some of the votes are people living in Cincinnatti, other parts of Ohio, and Kentucky, whose votes I got at a SEAC conference in Ohio, but most of the 45 are from Earlham students. The Indiana Primary is on Tuesday, but I will keep getting pledges filled for the general election, so that the Democrats can still see that if they do not free Leonard, they will lose the election, and that the number of people who will vote for Leonard as opposed to them in the general election is increasing, and so they had better free Leonard if they want to win at all. I'll send you some more pledges in a couple of weeks. Is that good? Peace, Mat Leroy ............................................................................... ..................................... * * Write-in LEONARD PELTIER for PRESIDENT! EVERY VOTE IS A FLAMING ARROW AGAINST THE CIRCLED WAGONS OF AMERICAN INJUSTICE! Letter from Harvey Arden, National Coordinator WRITE-IN LEONARD 4 PREZ Campaign to Bonnie Winona of FreedomCampaign/LPSG New Hampshire Bonnie-- Spoke to Leonard last night... I told him I'd been laying back on THE WRITE-IN LEONARD PELTIER FOR PRESIDENT campaign, fearing it might interfere with his upcoming interim parole hearing... He said don't worry about that...his defense committee (LPDC) is working hard at that but the write-in campaign shouldn't interfere in any way. He said, "Harvey...If you can reach tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands...even millions...with your write-in campaign...THAT could make the difference. Please do it!" So--Bonnie and all--I am launching back into it...on a national level...too hard to go state by state...let's go national NOW.... Damn'm whether they count'm officially or not... the Democrats can either come out on Leonard's behalf or see--seriousl y--hundreds of thousands of votes drawn away from their candidate(s) at the polls, even millions nationwide... People are EAGER, even passionate to vote for Leonard. I think it's easier right now to get a vote for Leonard Peltier, USP#89637-132 than it is for any other candidate of either Party. We ain't BEGUN to fight! Ask every person who commits to do exactly the same as you and I are doing, contacting everyone we can think of, friends and strangers, and offer them the opportunity to commit themselves to write-in LEONARD PELTIER FOR PRESIDENT! Whenever Gore or Bradley (or Bush or McCain?) come out on behalf of justice in America and demand that Leonard Peltier be freed IMMEDIATELY, then we will throw our votes to them and beat the sidewalks of cyberspace on their behalf. Until then, I plead with those of you who actually want your vote to make a difference, WRITE IN LEONARD PELTIER for PRESIDENT in the primaries (especiall y!) and, if necessary, the national election. Even if they toss'm in the wastebacket, your votes will count by being AGAINST those who would allow an innocent man to rot in jail for a crime the whole world knows he did not commit. Remember Leonard's words... "Now is the time. Now is the only possible time! Let the Great Healing begin!" Hey, Armies of One---...and I mean you!...--Unite in the common struggle to free our brother Leonard NOW! TODAY! PLEASE SOLICIT ALL THE COMMITMENTS YOU CAN BY CIRCULATING THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE! DO IT NOW--PLEASE, FOR LEONARD'S SAKE. WE NEED YOUR VOTES NOW! THIS IS THE ELECTION!

Amazon.com: A Glance: Prison Writings : My Li... visionquests.com freepeltier.org FOR MORE INFO CONTACT harvey@wisdomkeepers.com * * POLITICAL PLATFORM for a LEONARD PELTIER FREEDOM PARTY PLANK ONE: "Our work will be unfinished until not a single human being is hungry, not one woman is battered, not one child is abused, not one innocent languishes in prison and no one is persecuted for his or her beliefs." PLANK TWO: "We need not courtrooms but schoolrooms, not jails and prisons but decent homes and jobs for the millions of every color--including many, many white people--who are being denied their human and civil rights every day of every week by the special interests who are trying to steal America. Government must be by, of and for the People, not by, of and for the special interests. Read your own Declaration of Independence and Constitution, America. It's all there." PLANK THREE: "If building more prisons for those of us who are unlike yourselves is to be your strategy, then, I promise you, you cannot build enough prisons to hold us all. I ask America, as one familiar with your darkest side as well as with your shining possibilities, rethink this current craze for building ever more prisons for ever more of those of us born different than you. We don't need more prisons. We need more compassion. That compassion is our own highest possibility." PLANK FOUR: "Democracy means difference, not sameness. Allow us our differences as we allow you yours. We don't conflict with each other; we complement each other. We need each other. Each of us is responsible for what happens on this Earth. We are each absolutely essential, each totally irreplaceable. Each of us is the swing vote in the bitter election battle now being waged between our best and our worst possibilities. How are you going to cast your all-important ballot? Humanity awaits your decision. PLANK FIVE: "WE MUST EACH BE AN ARMY OF ONE in the endless struggle between the goodness we are all capable of and the evil that threatens us all from without as well as from within. Yes, we can each be an army of one. One good man or one good woman can change the world, can push back the evil, and their work can be a beacon for millions, for billions. Are you that man or woman? If so, may the Great Spirit bless you. If not, why not?We must each of us be that person. That will transform the world overnight. That would be a miracle, yes, but a miracle within our power, our healing power. To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us. To heal means that we will begin to look upon one another with respect and tolerance instead of prejudice, distrust and hatred. We will have to teach our children--as well as ourselves--to love the diversity of humanity. To heal we will have to make a conscious effort to live as the Creator intended, as sisters and brothers, all of one human family, caretakers of this fragile, perishable and sacred Earth. To heal we will have to come to the realization that we are all under a life sentence together on this planet...and there's no chance for parole. We can do it. Yes, you and I and all of us together. Now is the time. Now is the only possible time. Let the Great Healing begin. ********************************************************** Become an Army of One!
