[Announce-DAN] Fwd: Peltier phone campaign update

[Doc Rosen <drdrdoc@dr.com>]

Dear Friends,

>As you know, the FBI Agents Association and the Society of Former FBI
Agents
>have organized a telephone campaign to the White House in an attempt
to
>discourage a grant of executive clemency for Leonard Peltier.
Combined, the
>two organizations have membership in the tens of thousands. They have
>purchased a toll free number for their membership to utilize when
calling
>the White House.
>
>Clearly their financial resources far outweigh our own. However, it
is
>critical that we do not allow the FBI to drown us out. Therefore, we
have
>also purchased a toll free number for Leonard Peltier supporters, who
are
>unable to afford the long distance calls, to use. That number is:
>1-877-561-1364. The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee will be paying
by the
>minute for all toll free calls, a cost that will be extremely
exorbitant.
>Calling the regular White House number (202-456-1111) on a daily
basis
>averages about $2.00 -$5.00 a week per person. If you cannot afford
this
>amount, or if you or people you know do not have access to long
distance
>calling, please utilize our toll free number. If you can afford the
>$2.00-$5.00 a week, please do not use the toll free number. Don't be
>discouraged by the FBI's campaign. We still outnumber them by far,
and if
>everyone does their part, we can win.
>
>Many of you have asked why we do not make the FBI's toll free number
>available for Peltier supporters. Our lawyers have warned that doing
so
>could result in disputes with the FBI, legal or otherwise, which we
need to
>avoid.
>
>Because of the drawn out presidential election, it has become more
difficult
>to predict when a decision on Leonard's clemency will be made. After
the
>Thanksgiving weekend concludes, please continue flooding the White
House
>with daily calls (the lines are open M-F from 9-5am Eastern time,
closed on
>holidays). Your calls count now more than ever. To refute the FBI's
>message, it is important that we stress to operators the following:
We
>support clemency because Leonard Peltier never received a fair trial,
and
>the US Prosecutor has since admitted several times that he does not
know who
>killed the agents. Literally no evidence of his guilt exists, and yet
he
>has served over 24 years in prison. Ending this injustice would be an
>honorable step toward reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples across
the
>United States.
>
>Please keep up the good work, and continue to let us know about any
>revealing comments made by White House operators. We can do this!
