On Dec. 10 thousands are planning on being in New York City for the "Countdown to Clemency! Leonard Peltier March for Freedom." The focus of the march will be to pressure President Clinton to grant clemen­ cy to this American Indian Movement warrior who has languished in prison for 25 years. The White House officially released a statement Nov. 20 reaffirming President Clinton's commitment to deciding on Peltier's clemency petition before leaving office. The release prompted a media outburst. The story was covered by CNN, National Public Radio, the Associated Press, the LA Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, and numerous other papers. Peltier was charged with shooting two FBI agents who had invaded the Oglala Letters to the Editor Lakota Nation's reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota June 26, 1975. People Dear Editor, all around the world have insisted that Peltier is a political prisoner who was jailed because he is a leader in resistance to oppression of native and all people. Even This last week the Forest Service released their Final Environmental Impact though the government admits it cannot prove Peltier shot the agents, the Statement concerning the protection of our national forests.
