Dear President Obama,

It is the belief of the undersigned that Leonard Peltier was unjustly imprisoned. He should be granted freedom to rectify this situation. Although these years of his life  cannot be restored and the health of his body repaired, at least his spirit can be healed by his return to his people which he has continued to serve even from behind prison bars.

Despite multiple attacks by fellow inmates Leonard Peltier has become not only a model prisoner but a renowned humanitarian. All the proceeds from the sale of his writtings and paintings have produced a fund which provides for the essential needs of people in poverty. Being a two time candidate for the Noble Peace Prize, he advocates for the peaceful progression of all people to equallity.

He is the pride of his people and the pride of all people who believe in the dignity of the human being. Social justice demands that Leonard Peltier be restored to the true dignity of all free beings without further delay. It is for this reason that we implore the mercy of the President of these United States to grant Leonard Peltier, as only the President can, freedom to continue his work of social justice without the restraints of prison life.

For this compassion and wisdom we thank you.
