Dear Supporters:
September 12, 2016: Leonard Peltier turns 72 today, but it’s
a birthday without celebration considering 40 years of incarceration.
On January 12, 1975, Jack Coler, FBI Agent, former LAPD SWAT
officer, husband, and father of two young sons, turned 28.
On July 30, 1975, Ron Williams, FBI Agent and Navy veteran
had an upcoming birthday, but little did he know that a mere 34 days before his
own 28th birthday both he and Jack would be cut down in their prime
from a coward’s bullets.
At some point, Leonard Peltier will meet his Creator. There,
no doubt, will be Jack Coler and Ron Williams who will watch and listen as
Peltier finally makes his confession and admission for his crimes and their brutal
and violent deaths. Leonard Peltier will then receive his final and permanent
sentence.
Birthday wishes:
President Obama recognizes that a free Peltier will not
atone in any way for the historical ill treatment of First Americans.
President Obama understands that a free Peltier would validate
the murder and mayhem caused by the American Indian Movement and that AIM
contributed nothing positive to Native American culture.
President Obama accepts that a free Peltier would be an
affront to every dedicated law enforcement man and woman, past, present and
future.
President Obama already knows that Leonard Peltier was
lawfully extradited from Canada, had a fair trial, and through over a dozen
appeals his conviction and sentence has been sustained and never altered.
And, President Obama can readily see that Leonard Peltier
remains unrepentant for his heinous and unforgiveable crimes.
