This is taken from Facebook...please, PLEASE sign the petition which is going to The White House.

"This is a White House website generated "We the People" petition, created by the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee - when we reach the goal of 5000 signatures by the October 22nd deadline, President Obama himself will review the petition.

Help win freedom for Untied States political prisoner - Native American human rights, activist Leonard Peltier. Wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for 35 years.

This petition is different to any other you may have signed in the past and it is absolutely vital that we reach our goal. We need only 920 more signatures and only have a very short time remaining to reach that goal. You can help, your family and friends can help in just a matter of minutes. You do not have to go anywhere to be a part of this event. Just stay right there at your computer!

We know how many Leonard Peltier supporters there are - so we should not have a problem reaching our goal. Unfortunately the response has been relatively slow so far considering how many of you supporters are out there.

Please take just a few minutes RIGHT NOW - do not delay - it is a very simple process to complete this petition. Just follow the link directly below. I have included instructions for the petition at the bottom of this page.
