November 2002
It will soon be 3 years since the words shared here were written for Leonard.
I remember the night we all spent waiting to see what outgoing President Clinton would decide in regard to granting clemency to Leonard Peltier.
It was very cold where I live. We had a big fire that night and all of us had hopes and prayers that at last, clemency would be granted and Leonard Peltier would be permitted to return home to his family.
We now know, of course, that clemency was not granted. It was not a "safe" political move for outgoing President Clinton.
But the fight for Leonard Peltier's freedom is not over - far from it!
The words, written from the hearts of many and so many more than seen here, have not ended.
Rallys - petitions - court hearings, parole hearings, legalities, all these things continue.
People from all over the world have taken up the cause of freedom for Leonard Peltier.
Well-known Leaders, Spiritual People and the common man and woman, continue to do what they can to see to it that Leonard receives parole and is permitted to return home to his People and his family.
The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee has not given up.
Leonard's family will never give up.
Nor will his friends.
Leonard Peltier has NOT given up hope
Tomorrow - a new day begins..........."An Army of One" - you - and you and you and you
AND YOU.....
Freedom is the cry......
Let Freedom Rain was the cry....
Let Freedom Reign........Let Leonard come home.
