Wednesday, November 30, 2005Subj: Want to nominate Leonard Peltier as Time's Man of the Year? Date: 11/30/2005 4:57:39 AM Eastern Standard Time From: paulaostrovsky@hotmail.com From John Gallagher: Just click on the link (or copy and paste it on your browser window) and stick your two cents if you would please. John G http://www.time.com/time/personoftheyear/2005/walkup/talkback.html# form Here's my entry: Leonard Peltier, America's Mandela, the never forgotten (in spite of the media's indifference) Native American political prisoner who this year completes 30 years behind bars for defending his people to appease a vengeful and corrupt government agency. This year he was also moved from prison to prison and held in solitary confinement for six weeks, for no real reason and in spite of his old age and poor health. Official Website: [2]http://www.leonardpeltier.org Online Store: [3]http://www.cafepress.com/leonardpeltier Please visit the Guest Book for Steven R. Robideau. The LPDC is sponsoring it for a year as a keepsake for his family. http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?Id=GB15007397X Hay hombres que luchan un día y son buenos, hay otros que luchan muchos años y son mejores, pero hay los que luchan toda la vida y esos son los indispensables.

It declared that the "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world." It could arguably be called the birth of the modern human rights movement. The Amnesty International Write-a-thon, first organized by Amnesty members in Poland, emphasizes the enduring importance of the declaration and the human rights movement by drawing the world's attention to human rights abuses that continue to this day. The Write-a-thon is a truly global event participants from over 30 countries writing letters, read aloud in many languages, but all containing the same message of freedom, justice and peace. About the Write-a-thon What's a Write-a-thon? A write-a-thon is a fun and educational meeting of people who come together to write letters about human rights on behalf of specific actions and cases. Amnesty International offers a choice of numerous actions on varied topics and countries, and you can choose to highlight as few or as many cases as you see fit, given the nature of your event! A few actions are already available, and about two dozen actions will be available at their site by mid-November for you to download and print for your write-a-thon. The International Peltier Forum registered as a participant and our Write-a-thon will take place for 24 hours on December 10th, 2005. Our Write-a-thon, of course, concentrates on freedom for Leonard Peltier. Do we really have to write letters? Well, that why it's called a Write-a-thon. :-) * Please send your letters by email to [3]ipforum@skynet.be on December 10th, 2005. We'll print them out and send them all together to the White House. You can either send them as a Word (*.doc) or WP (*.wpg) attachement, or as a text in the email body. * Or send your "real paper" letters and/or postcards before December 10th to: KOLA / IPF Van Boeckel St. 20 B-1140 Brussels Belgium (Note: if you send letters from Europe, it takes about 2-3 days to reach us; from the USA, Canada, Australia and elsewhere it will take 5-10 days !) We hope to see your letter tumble in our mailbox on December 10th!
