Every native Indian in this country, sympathizer or advocate of native Indian history or injustice (historical and modern day), or social activist for freedom and liberty should speak thru this petition. Let this petition become the power to bring life from death and justice to the crime of this nation’s Federal government and it's institutions against Leonard Peltier and Native Indians, lest we forget our ancestors and surrender to tyranny, genocide, and cultural death and deprivation.

Having lived on the Winnebago reservation many years ago my heart is troubled by the disgrace aimed at native Americans. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia in the sixties and thought I would never see such poverty and neglect again. It's hidden away right here in the USA.

Mr. Peltier's continued imprisonment is one of the most grievous blemishes on the United States' record of abuse and acts of treachery inflicted on the Indian people. My country's treatment of these people truly makes me feel ashamed. I feel like a trespasser on what should be their land.

Any President having the ability and opportunity to correct this (particular case and level of injustice), and willfully choosing to ignore it, should be ashamed.

To continue to hold him under the circumstances. AND his exemplary inmate conduct, could only be political and discriminating.

President Obama, use your pen and free Leonard Peliter. The FBI realized that with all their actions they created a real mess and so many lies followed. A lot of FBI documents are hided and it was all about to get this land at Wounded Knee. FBI's action did not worked out and blame Leonard now for killing these two FBI Agent who were sent to this occupied land ..and the FBI knew that the Occupier would defend themselves. They killed Joseph Stuntz and this is what they hide. Many people want action for the people who actually committed the crime..they want that Leonard now can hug his grandchildren and walk out of prison as a free man. Please Präsident Obama..use your power and take your pen to sign what should be signed already for over 40 years. Thank you

With close study, you will find that court proceedings were biased, even corrupted by false FBI statements. While Mr. Peltier was there during the incident for which he was convicted, the actual evidence could never convist him in an honest court, and there are pieces of evidence showing his innocence.
The American Indian Movement was created by members of various tribes to protect the elders and children from corrupt agencies both Native American and Federal, who had a long history of clear abuse, even including purposeful murder.
That Leonard Peltier resisted this corruption in defense of his relatives, especially those who could not speak up of fight against it, is laudable, and he remains a principled defender of, and icon for, human rights.
Please consider the evidence, the unethical actions of prosecutor and judge, and grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. Many federla agencies are still operating in an extremely corrupt manner, including under the Dept of Justice, and this first step in making our government more accountable to ALL, especially the native peoples of this land, would be perhaps the most visibly important one.

I was in jr high school when Leonard went to prison and I've seen a lot of injustice in our country since then. From people that are clearly guilty of heinous crimes and are still walking the streets just cause they have the money to buy slick lawyers and the media attention they think they deserve. And now 40 years later Leonard is still imprisoned by a government that cannot produce any evidence against him. It's like they just picked him out of a crowd. What happened to innocent till proven guilty? Just goes to show us all that our precious government could do the same to any one of us if this is not corrected. Please do the right thing and free Leonard Peltier.

Sara Matthews
Dear President Obama:
Leonard Peltier has been illegally jailed since I was a young woman and you were a young man.
While in prison, he has missed participating in most of his family's lives, he has endured illness, sadness and loss from behind bars that SHOULD NOT be separating him from those life events.
As he ages, his illness becomes harder to manage. More family members pass. His situation becomes more untenable and the unfairness of it becomes more and more evident.
At the very least, he has suffered several constitutional violations. The most horrendous thing is that he had been jailed and there is no evidence that he committed the crime he is accused of. There are no credible witnesses. Testimony had been recanted and proven false.
I grew up here in Plymouth, MA, and have attended the Native Americans' Day of Mourning Ceremony for about a decade now. I have heard first hand the pleas of his friends and family to return him to their arms.
I'm asking you to please consider granting him executive clemency before he either passes or is left with no living family members, to put his arms around.
Thank you.

Brenda K. Goodman
For the first time someone told me that they were killed by their own. By other FBI agents. Now I'm more confused than ever as to why this
man has lost over 40yrs. of his life for a crime he did not commit. I've never heard Robert Robideau or Darrell Butler or even John Trudell ever say anything even remotely like this, not in any interviews I've heard or read. I knew that Leonard was there by invitation because there were a lot of unsolved murders and drive-by shootings on the reservation or so I've read over & over again. He was invited into the reservation to help try to "assert some tradition" Wasn't he at Calvin Jumping Bull's, because that was the AIM headquarters wasn't it? & Then there's that stupid story about Jimmy Eagle stealing a pair of cowboy boots after a fight, & those two FBI agents following him onto the reservation or at least they thought it was Jimmy so they were in pursuit." They just wanted to talk to Jimmy Eagle about the fight & the boots" so they pursued a car assuming it was him right into AIM headquarters. Why would two FBI agents even do that? I have never been able to understand why they would go onto a reservation with no warrants over a pair of boot..& now I'm hearing that they were shot by other FBI agents? And what about Mr X? That would be Harry David Hill, yes? The LPDC spokesperson. Didn't he claim to shoot the two FBI agents but now has refuted his claim? I just don't understand how this innocent man could just have his whole adult life stolen away from him over something he didn't do & he still sits there every single day hoping against hope that whoever gets in that seat of power will grant him clemency. It just,..makes me sick inside.

It's time that the howling wind of injustice finally dies down and that the sun of justice will start shining again ever so brightly. Please take action to free Leonard Peltier from prison so that the injustice that has been done is put right. It's the right thing to do and the only thing to do. Thank you!

Please free Leonard. The time has been overdue. I believe in you President Obama!
Sean Hanns
Mr. Obama, I'm respectfully asking you to please review the case of Leonard Peltier, I'm sure all of it is available to you, Wikipedia has all you would need to know, once you've read it and take into account the ceaseless efforts of a former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark who served pro bono as one of Peltier's lawyers plus the fact that the FBI needed a scapegoat to hang the murders on, pressured so called witnesses who later recanted their stories and revealed the tactics used by the FBI to obtain those false statements. At the very least he deserves a real trial at which all of the evidence can be revealed which would result in his being found innocent in the murders of the two FBI agents. The power to simply release him based on all that has come to pass, the recanting of witnesses who were pressured to lie, the evidence which shows that it was not the AR-15, which Peltier claims he didn't own to begin with, but is the one they used as evidence against him anyway and which was later determined to not match the shell casing found in the car of the FBI agents. So, I'm only asking you to please look at all of the evidence and I believe you will come to the same conclusion that many others have and that is that Leonard Peltier was/is not guilty of the murder of the two FBI agents. I can understand your not wanting to do it until just before you leave office and I can only pray that Leonard will make it till then, his health is deteriorating, not being allowed to return him to a prison closer to his family is leaving him bereft of the love and comfort which most inmates have to help get them thru the prison life and it is being used as a form of punishment to Leonard. I voted for you twice because I believe that you are someone who is a fair and honest man, someone who can take into account the views of everyone and make the right choices which, in spite of the Republicans efforts to block these choices, you have done so. So please Mr. Obama, release Le

Ther was no justice in the governments action. I grew up in Minneapolis, and had the opportunity to meet Russell Means when the AIM document was signed and became a MOVEMENT.

I was born on 199th birth date of USMC, overseas in middle of war-torn SW Asian by US GOV, and thru my ancient Spirit Mother who carried my SoulSpirit here, back home to my homeland of American continent. I was born in between the dates of the violent massacres of My Native peoples of America between Wounded Knee and Pine Ridge incident. It is no incident I have returned to my homeland to pay respects to our elders, Chief Sitting Bull Lakota, and our ancestors, as I too came to the Americas with our Ancient Nomadic tribes over 10,000s of years ago, to find a peaceful way of life with Mother Earth. We must honor that Peace and share it with all on Earth and beyond. I hope everyone on Earth learns to live in peace and love each other as Creation loves us, love each other as much as we can love our self, to serve and protect Mothership Earth and all her inhabitants, land rock, sky wind, air water, trees and creatures. As we are meant to live and love our self and stop destroying our self, end all war with love now and forever, infinite eternity and beyond.

I am from the Turtle Mountains and I have read quite a bit about the case. First of all our constitution is based on innocence before guilt, the federal government was embarrassed by the fact that they did not have a definitive shooter for the agents that were shot. They had to blame someone, so they took most of an innocent man's life to make someone pay.

The American Indian has endured five hundred years of Deceit, Deception, and Genocide. The fbi, guided by the cross dressing sexual pervert,, & criminal, edgar hoover, along with his hand picked domestic terrorist bill janklow. (Gov South Dakota) Their main objective was to crush the " AIM " Movement designed to better the lives of the Lakota Sioux. Investigate, the " Black Hills ", " Wounded Knee "(x2), and, who might read this post, check out the book " In the Spirit of Crazy Horse " by Peter Matthiessen.

Clemency is way overdue! Bill Clinton should have pardoned him before he left office. Instead he commuted sentences for people such as David Ronald Chandler, a federal death row inmate, Bob Griffin, a former speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives Who was serving two years on bribery charges, Melvin J Reynolds, democratic congressman from Illinois convicted a bank fraud and obstruction of justice, Carlos Vignali, convicted of cocaine trafficking. In all 192 commuted sentences or out right pardons and Leonard Peltier was never mentioned once. Shame on you Bill Clinton, I hope Barack Obama has more guts than you did!

If it were decades after the end of the Nazi regime in Germany, and the last Jewish survivor of the Warsaw ghetto were still being held in a German prison for the "crime" of fighting back, of resisting genocide, if this prisoner were ignored by the mainstream press and media and by the government and by much of society - it might not seem that there would be consequences. But if this prisoner would to live out the rest of his life and to die in prison - it would reflect a kind of shame on the German nation from which it might never recover.

Please do the right thing and right the wrongs that have been done. Leonard Peltier must be set free. He has fraudulently served time in prison and skis have been released twenty years ago. He has spent 40 years incarcerated on charges fabricated by the Federal Government. The entire world recognizeseries this as a fact, why can't you admit the wrong and make amends while he is so living. Whatever example the establishment of that time wanted to make of him has been accomplished. It is now an example of an unfair judicial system that has no conscience or compassion. Please do not allow racism of the past be our present. Allow Leonard to go free. He is very ill and does not likely have long to live. Please send him home to his family and let him live out his final days in the company of his loved ones. Thank you for listening, and thank you, in advance for acting in favor of one man's life - he has paid the price many times over and over. Bless -

Peltier was convicted not because it was shown that he had killed anyone, but purely because of his leadership role. He has been held far too long. And he is not receiving the proper medical attention.

The US Federal Government imprisoned Native American people for unreasonable offenses since the time our people were marched to imprisonment camps created by this institution. This is another example and/or opportunity for the government to do what is right by, and make right the wrongful acts placed upon the indigenous people of this land. You, government officials, leadership of this nation exist because of the land given up by our people. Free Leonard and do what is just.

I have read so much material and even those court records that was available to read. I even read that 2 witnesses recanted their story that they sworn too. So if they have shown all evidence that was presented was considered as poison evidence. So please find this man to be a political prisoner and should be set free.

With me being a person who has so much deep compassion for all of life, I strongly feel that Leonard came into this lifetime to live the life of his choosing, and not be denied that right by the ones who the people of this country put their trust and faith in to represent, and uphold the law for total justice, for all people, of this great nation of ours... And upon me reviewing the case that has been built against him, and keeps him incarcerated , is just mind boggling, as to how and why this has been allowed to happen to an innocent individual. Leonards' actual release from prison is long, long, overdue....... Please don't let this man's life come to it's end behind bars, because of a system that ( is designed to protect ) failed him!!.......

Further, denying his freedom is a symbol of hostile relations between first-nations people and the US government, a cycle which needs to be broken. Granting clemency to Peltier would be a step in the healing process, and would mean all the world to Peltier himself.

Created by B.A. on August 16, 2016
Leonard Peltier, an innocent man, was convicted for the 1975 shooting deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). U.S. prosecutors have repeatedly admitted that they did not and cannot prove Peltier's guilt and the appellate courts have cited numerous instances of investigative and prosecutorial misconduct in this case s late as November 2003, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged that " Much of the government’s behavior at the Pine Ridge Reservation and in its prosecution of Mr. Peltier is to be condemned. The government withheld evidence. It intimidated witnesses. These facts are not disputed. Citing http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Peltier_Clemency2008

Set him free, please, to enable him to fulfil these aspirationsand in so doing make for a better world for all of us. Surely this is the wise thing to do, before it is too late,

To be honest the case of Mr Peltier was brought to my attention thanks to the band Rage Against The Machine and i then obtained the book 'In the spirit of Crazy Horse' which introduced me to the American Indian Movement. My mother surprised me with naming a few famous actors who were supporters of the AIM. The more i've researched the group and this particular case the more i truly think that the FBI went after the movement because they were threatened by it's numbers and support. As usual they created a scenario and it blew up in their faces when 2 of the dickheads got wasted. There had to be a scapegoat and it was Mr Peltier. I'm a proud white man that's no secret but how the European settlers treated the indigenous people is nothing short of a disgrace. I should know i'm a second class citizen in this country. This is your chance Obama to now out having actually achieved something......let him go please.

Leonard Peltier should be pardoned after serving more than 40 years. For those of us who were active during Wounded Knee there was no question that the role of the FBI and other law enforcement was that of an occupying force at Pine Ridge, not to mention that Leonard did not get a fair trial given that evidence was suppressed along with false statements by witnesses who have recanted their testimony saying they were coerced. Justice should be served all these years later and Leonard should be freed.

James Retherford
Leonard Peltier's ongoing incarceration is a black mark on American values and rule by law, an ugly reminder of a time when U.S. law enforcement agencies operated out of control, taking the law in their own hands.
Like Leonard, I too was a victim of FBI COINTELPRO, an outrageous frame-up of an anti-war underground newspaper editor, but I had the good fortune to have conviction and sentence overturned by a fair-minded federal appeals court in 1970.
Unlike Leonard, I was white and a student. When will America justice catch up with the Bill of Rights and deliver a single fair standard of prosecutorial and judicial conduct in regard for all citizens, regardless of race, class, or gender? Executive clemency for Leonard Peltier, a political prisoner for more than 42 years, would be a great place to start.

They used Lennard as the scapegoat, hide much of the documentation that would prove his innocents. For a country that calls itself as a "free" country it still controls the original people. Our history proves this.
It is time to grant clemency for Leonard Peltier, and let this man return to his family... to live out the rest of his years.

clemency is the right thing to do.

The letter speaks for itself. The elders requested youth to protect them the beatings, killings, and harassment from the FBI and the GOONS. Others who were charged were acquitted at their trials, but the FBI was going to make some Indian pay innocent or not. My Presidents says he believes in the sense of fairness. Were is the fairness in Leonard's trial and conviction? President Obama, Leonard needs your sense of Fairness as well as the Indian Nations. Let Leonard go home to his family and people Begin the reconciliation.

Due process has not worked for this man. Why not? Due process is a right granted by our court system, a the blood of soldiers that have fought and died for this country. To deny this man proper due process is a crime. A crime against humanity, our American citizens. You need the proper evidence to lock a man up. You dont just lock him up because of the color of his skin or that you are just mad with him. This shows an abuse of power and authority. This is why no one wants to help the police or even listen to them. What an injustice. Would this had happened if he was a whiteman.

I am a youth minister who spent 6 years involved in Native American ministry on reservations and cities in NE and SD, including work for peace and justice on Pine Ridge. I am highly concerned both for the evidence of injustices in Leonard's original trial, and of the immediate health complications and lack of care he is experiencing in prison. For these reasons, and his decades of work for peace and justice from within prison, I believe he deserves clemency and that this is, indeed likely his last chance. Thank you for considering my thoughts, and my prayers are with you and your family as you finish your term.

I agree fully that Mr. Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for 41 years contrary to natural justice. His case was flawed and I believe that the appeals process was also. President Obama should as a last act of his presidency give clemency to this man who should not be behind bars.
Native Americans have suffered from racism, theft, murder and so much more from the United States - clemency would be a small gesture of trying to make amends for this history.

WELL JOHN TRUDELL WILL TURN IN HIS GRAVE FOR SURE!! RACIST SOCIETY WITH LAWS CORRESPONDING TO YOUR SKIN COULOUR AND ORIGINE.

Please let this innocent political prisoner go home so he can receive proper medical care and have a quality end to his tortured life.

It is absurd that the fear of the US president to recognise the injustice against Leonard Peltier and his identity as an Native American prevents the release of this innocent man.The fear is the fear of having to be accountable for the genocide against him and his people.

Having lived on the Winnebago reservation many years ago my heart is troubled by the disgrace aimed at native Americans. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia in the sixties and thought I would never see such poverty and neglect again. It's hidden away right here in the USA.

He should be free to go home. It is time. Sadness overwhelms me, I pray that he is freed before he walks on from this life.
Mr. Peltier's continued imprisonment is one of the most grievous blemishes on the United States' record of abuse and acts of treachery inflicted on the Indian people. My country's treatment of these people truly makes me feel ashamed. I feel like a trespasser on what should be their land.
Any President having the ability and opportunity to correct this (particular case and level of injustice), and willfully choosing to ignore it, should be ashamed.
It is good to be back

After all. I think the time is arrived.
I met Leonard in 1972 when he was traveling with Dennis Banks. They met with a small group of us in Cambridge Massachusetts. I followed his story and kept him in my thoughts and prayers all these years. President Obama is the man to free Leonard.
I can't get it right in my head Leonard didn't do anything wrong lies that the Gov.put out there for everyone one to see. Leonard your God knows the truth. and the Gov. has no God they are about Lies just to make them happy. peace to you Leonard stay American Indian strong.
long overdue.
I have posted on Facebook and asked friends and family to email President Obama.
My prayers
President Obama, I know that you know that Mr Peltier was wrongly accused and incarcerated. It's time to right that injustice. You are the only person in the world who can right this wrong. Please do the right thing before you leave office. Don't be bullied by the FBI. Pardon Leonard Peltier. Thank you, Carole Costanza RI
Free Leonard! Free the native warrior people!
While praying today for Leonard Peltier, and our Goverment, officials. Mr President Obama Please allow Leonard Peltier his freedom. We are counting on you all over the world.
Free Leonard, a supporter since 1975
Free Leonard he is an innocent man
Free Leonard Peltier and all other political prisoners. How can we proclaim any moral superiority over other oppressive regimes as long as we justify Leonard Peltier's incarceration, prejudices against indigenous peoples and the taking/spoiling of their resources and other injustices such as rendition.
This is not justice. Free Leonard Peltier.
By all accounts this mans imprisonment was a severe injustice. Justice demands compassion.
Let us ,we the people make a horrible wrong right,please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier and let this man spend his last days with his family and people, Thank You
s'kinda like eat'n oatmeal .. not many could find fault w/doin it. . .
please free him.
We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools.
we have the same last name so i signed it.
if you can free guilty terriosts why cant you free an innocent man.
Please rectify the United States governments mistake and please free Leonard Peltier
It was wrong to sentence him, i believe he was wrongfully accused base on no evidence.
Free this innocent man and restore the rights of Native Americans.
This man was convicted on false testimony and true evidence was not permitted to be used. It is past time for him to be set free and let him live the rest of his life among his people and his family and friends.
Leonard Peltier is first and foremost innocent. Even IF was guilty has more than earned release after so many years To continue to hold him under the circumstances. AND his exemplary inmate conduct, could only be political and discriminating.
Based on the evidence received from the FOI Act reveals that he was wrongfully accused based on no evidence. Have we, as Americans,, not already taken enough from our Native Americans. They need their rights restored. HUGS TO YOU LEONARD FROM TEXAS
Justice has not been served.
Leonard Peltier is being warehoused to prevent the outside world having access to his Elder wisdom and experience.
Leonard has been in prison way to long for a crime that has not been proven that he committed.
JUST DO IT, NOW!
The prosecutor states they don't know who killed the FBI agents, but they let an innocent man rot in prison for most of his life. This is Justice? Hell no! Free Peltier!
Leonard Peltier has served 6 life sentences and is 71 years old. Now is the time to grant Leonard Peltier clemency. Please return Leonard Peltier to his family. Thank you.
President Obama, use your pen and free Leonard Peliter. The FBI realized that with all their actions they created a real mess and so many lies followed. A lot of FBI documents are hided and it was all about to get this land at Wounded Knee. FBI's action did not worked out and blame Leonard now for killing these two FBI Agent who were sent to this occupied land ..and the FBI knew that the Occupier would defend themselves. They killed Joseph Stuntz and this is what they hide. Many people want action for the people who actually committed the crime..they want that Leonard now can hug his grandchildren and walk out of prison as a free man. Please Präsident Obama..use your power and take your pen to sign what should be signed already for over 40 years. Thank you
Justice for an innocent man free Leonard Pelitier
Free Leonard Peliter, President Obama, it is the right time and only you hold the pen that will free him.
Please Mr. President, do the right thing and grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, an innocent man! Leonard is 71 years old and in poor health ... it's high time to return him home, to his tribe and family.
Please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. It's the right thing to do.
Please let Leonard Peltier have his freedom, he is innocent. Please right a wrong made by others, let him return to his people.
Leonard has been in prison too long!
Let this man go he has suffered long enough....
Please do the right thing and let this man free.
40 years the government has dishonored Truth.Make an attempt at justice before it's too late.
it's way past time that this injustice is righted
It is about time to let this man have freedom and be ashamed for not doing it sooner.
Please show mercy and compassion for this sick innocent man, so that he can enjoy his remaining time on earth with his family, which is his human right
It's way overdue.
Free this man....enough is ENOUGH!!!

President Obama I urge you to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. Our constitution failed him, this government has failed him PLEASE right the wrong and let the healing begin
President Obama Free this man now!!!
Mr. President, read our appeals, we are asking for clemency for Leonard, with our heart, from all over the world. This is not enough. please . thanks Barbara
Correct another injustice
President Obama, you should grant clemency to undo the injustice done to this innocent man for years! You are able to do it! make us believe again in your motto- Yes We Can!
30 years - over 60 years? How about 40 years and over 70 years? - Who ever wrote this petition should first update the prison years and age of Leonard Peltier b/c they're out dated
Leonard should never been incarcerated to begin with and should finally be granted executive clemency by President Obama.
Imprisoned or free, we shall remain.
President Obama, please right this injustice and grant clemency to Leonard Peltier.
You can do it if you want to Mr. President Free Him Now! Free Leonard Peltier Now
Enough is enough
Please President Obama, as your final humane act before leaving the white house, please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. Let him live his remaining days with his family and in peace.
Leonard Peltier has suffered from injustice for far too long. Please allow him to return home to his family. It is time. Thank you.
It's time to let him go.
Please do the right thing
With close study, you will find that court proceedings were biased, even corrupted by false FBI statements. While Mr. Peltier was there during the incident for which he was convicted, the actual evidence could never convist him in an honest court, and there are pieces of evidence showing his innocence. The American Indian Movement was created by members of various tribes to protect the elders and children from corrupt agencies both Native American and Federal, who had a long history of clear abuse, even including purposeful murder. That Leonard Peltier resisted this corruption in defense of his relatives, especially those who could not speak up of fight against it, is laudable, and he remains a principled defender of, and icon for, human rights. Please consider the evidence, the unethical actions of prosecutor and judge, and grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. Many federla agencies are still operating in an extremely corrupt manner, including under the Dept of Justice, and this first step in making our government more accountable to ALL, especially the native peoples of this land, would be perhaps the most visibly important one.
FREE HIM!!!
I am not a forensic scientist I only know that information from legitimate sources proves it is not feasible that Leonard Peltier was responsible for the killing he is accused of! Injustice for one man is injustice for all of us! It's time to free him based on "there is a reasonable date"! He is in my prayers and all those who "advocate for his release are in my prayers!
Free leonard peltier due to corruption!
Free Leonard Peltier
Enuff is enuff I think we all understand that the fed gov can do what ever they want and ruin anybody who they don't like or agree with...most of them are the criminals
You know that he didn't belong there in the first place. Right the wrong and release him. We owe him that much.
FREE LEONARD PELTIER
Free Leonard Peltier grant him clemency please.
Free Leonard Peltier
FREE LEONARD PELTIER
Free Leonard peltier!!
I voted for you, Mr. President....twice, because I not only believed in what you believed in, but more importantly, I believed in YOU. I saw you as a Fair and Just President for the People, ALL people, not just some. I believe Peltier to be innocent. This man has been an inspiration and done more good things behind bars than most people on the outside. I pray that you will do the RIGHT thing and grant Leonard Peltier executive clemency and let this man live out the last days of his life in the comfort of his home with loved ones. Blessings.
nous attendons depuis de longues annees la libération de L Peltier !

It's time Leonard is freed. The FBI botched their investigation and outright lied. The FBI needs to be held accountable. No wonder people in our Country have such a low opinion of the FBI. Show good faith and free Leonard!
He should have been let out 20 years ago.
God bless this man and his family and let the powers that may be doing is right in this case Lord
Free Leonard ! he has certainly served enough time for a "crime" he didn't even commit!
Let true justice prevail; free Leonard.
It's now or never... Mr. President, don't play politics with this.

This is beyond right. Shows what a crooked government can do
We need to end this injustice.
Do the right thing, despite the grief you will get from the FBI, which doesn't seem able to admit their own mistakes.
I watched the events unfold at Wounded Knee, and I have felt from the very beginning that Mr. Peltier was innocent. Please, Mr. President, end this man's suffering, please... Walter Conger
Free Leonard!
Please let your conscience be your guide. We are freeing federally convicted people due to overcrowding, should we not also free the innocent?
This man should have been freed ions ago and has no business being in prison!!

I can't believe this man still sits in a jail cell. I read his book a decade ago, read up on him, read the case, the mistakes, the denials of appeals. It is a disgrace to force him to live his remaining years in jail. Let him go!
With my entire sympathy. Deeply to be incensed by this situation.
Free Leonard Peltier. ..please
He has paid for his crimes. While many in the government haven't do the right thing
Mr President: Please pardon Leonard Peltier before you leave office. Thanking you in advance I am...
Free Leonard
Free Leonard Peltier!
Please correct this wrongful long term injustice and pardon Mr. Peltier.
I was in jr high school when Leonard went to prison and I've seen a lot of injustice in our country since then. From people that are clearly guilty of heinous crimes and are still walking the streets just cause they have the money to buy slick lawyers and the media attention they think they deserve. And now 40 years later Leonard is still imprisoned by a government that cannot produce any evidence against him. It's like they just picked him out of a crowd. What happened to innocent till proven guilty? Just goes to show us all that our precious government could do the same to any one of us if this is not corrected. Please do the right thing and free Leonard Peltier.
You are releasing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay and you can't release Mr. Peltier even though he's innocent of the shooting? This man has been in jail since two mths before I was born. He is sick and should be allowed to break bread with his family at least once before he has to leave this world.
Set him free....
Please let this man be with his people.
Should be pardoned freed and all lands returned. Give them only permits to grow medicinal marijuana in countries and territories
SET MY BROTHER FREE
It's about time for Leonard Peltiers release Its been long enough
Leonard Peltier DESERVES clemency!
He is our native motivational speaker free lenoard peltier
Dear President Obama: Leonard Peltier has been illegally jailed since I was a young woman and you were a young man. While in prison, he has missed participating in most of his family's lives, he has endured illness, sadness and loss from behind bars that SHOULD NOT be separating him from those life events. As he ages, his illness becomes harder to manage. More family members pass. His situation becomes more untenable and the unfairness of it becomes more and more evident. At the very least, he has suffered several constitutional violations. The most horrendous thing is that he had been jailed and there is no evidence that he committed the crime he is accused of. There are no credible witnesses. Testimony had been recanted and proven false. I grew up here in Plymouth, MA, and have attended the Native Americans' Day of Mourning Ceremony for about a decade now. I have heard first hand the pleas of his friends and family to return him to their arms. I'm asking you to please consider granting him executive clemency before he either passes or is left with no living family members, to put his arms around. Thank you.
How come they can free drug dealers from prison but not a INNOCENT MAN???????
Even the guilty are eventually paroled!
Way past due!
Please grant Leonard Peltier, Clemency, show the world your compassion and love, Let him go home in peace to his family, and friends.
Release Leonard.
fact is this native man has been imprisoned for many years for a crime he did not commit. I am looking at the judicial system and senator,governor,president and politician to do the right thing,and make the correction of the bad choice you've made when you sentenced Leonard Peltier.
For the first time someone told me that they were killed by their own. By other FBI agents. Now I'm more confused than ever as to why this man has lost over 40yrs. of his life for a crime he did not commit. I've never heard Robert Robideau or Darrell Butler or even John Trudell ever say anything even remotely like this, not in any interviews I've heard or read. I knew that Leonard was there by invitation because there were a lot of unsolved murders and drive-by shootings on the reservation or so I've read over & over again. He was invited into the reservation to help try to "assert some tradition" Wasn't he at Calvin Jumping Bull's, because that was the AIM headquarters wasn't it? & Then there's that stupid story about Jimmy Eagle stealing a pair of cowboy boots after a fight, & those two FBI agents following him onto the reservation or at least they thought it was Jimmy so they were in pursuit." They just wanted to talk to Jimmy Eagle about the fight & the boots" so they pursued a car assuming it was him right into AIM headquarters. Why would two FBI agents even do that? I have never been able to understand why they would go onto a reservation with no warrants over a pair of boot..& now I'm hearing that they were shot by other FBI agents? And what about Mr X? That would be Harry David Hill, yes? The LPDC spokesperson. Didn't he claim to shoot the two FBI agents but now has refuted his claim? I just don't understand how this innocent man could just have his whole adult life stolen away from him over something he didn't do & he still sits there every single day hoping against hope that whoever gets in that seat of power will grant him clemency. It just,..makes me sick inside.
PLEASE GRANT LEONARD PELTIER CLEMENCY. HE IS IN PRSION FOR SOMETHING THAT HE DID NOT DO. LET OUR BROTHER GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY AND HIS PEOPLE. AND FRIENDS. DOES NOT BELONG IN PRISON.
Why would you still have Leonard Peltier in prison, when everyone knows even the FBI, that he is free of all charges.
This man needs to be free.
FREE HIM,,,,,,NOW
It's time to let this man, so poorly and unjustly treated by our system of justice, free from prison.
Do it!
Please. It has been long enough. Make this right.
Do the right thing, set him free!
Showing support from the White Mountain Apache Tribe!
il faut libérer léonard peltier ,il ne faut pas qu'il soit un second nelson mandela léonard peltier a était emprisonné injustement pour une faute qu'il n'a pas commise il faut le liberer qu'il profite un peu de la liberté avant qu'il ne soit trop tard !
He has been punished enough and we want him to come home.
Injustice has been heaped upon this man and it would take only the stroke of a pen to correct this
Since this is Native American Month, it would be appropriate to right this wrong this year. Stop sitting on your hands Washington, D.C.
His should have been released years ago
Please release him
President Clinton should not have caved. NOW IS THE TIME! Please right this wrong!
Mr President get on the right side of History
A pardon is the right thing to do, period.
What is justice?
Please have mercy to release a man that was done so wrong by our own laws. Please allow our brother to come home and live what is left of his life with family. Don't let these words fall on deaf ears. Let us know you are listening. You, Mr. Obama, are our last hope. Thank you Madrid Indian Rock Water
Set the man free!
Without evidence a man should be free and not behind bars
Mitakuye Oasin!
i knew a woman who was part of his defence team so long ago. good luck with this
Please free Leopard Peltier so he can spend the time he has left with his family! 40 yrs is long enough for something that he didn't do. Mr. Obama put yourself in his place for a minute not to see your daughters grow up your grandchildren and their children for something you didn't do! So again, Please take appropriate action to free Mr. Peltier. Thank You!
Free this innocent man, as you would your brother
Dear Barack Obama I think it's time to free an innocent man from prison so he can spend time with family & loved ones in the time that he still has on this Earth. It's time that the howling wind of injustice finally dies down and that the sun of justice will start shining again ever so brightly. Please take action to free Leonard Peltier from prison so that the injustice that has been done is put right. It's the right thing to do and the only thing to do. Thank you!
This is a huge human tragedy and a shameful abuse of process on the part of governent.
Please free Leonard. The time has been overdue. I believe in you President Obama!
Mr. Obama, I'm respectfully asking you to please review the case of Leonard Peltier, I'm sure all of it is available to you, Wikipedia has all you would need to know, once you've read it and take into account the ceaseless efforts of a former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark who served pro bono as one of Peltier's lawyers plus the fact that the FBI needed a scapegoat to hang the murders on, pressured so called witnesses who later recanted their stories and revealed the tactics used by the FBI to obtain those false statements. At the very least he deserves a real trial at which all of the evidence can be revealed which would result in his being found innocent in the murders of the two FBI agents. The power to simply release him based on all that has come to pass, the recanting of witnesses who were pressured to lie, the evidence which shows that it was not the AR-15, which Peltier claims he didn't own to begin with, but is the one they used as evidence against him anyway and which was later determined to not match the shell casing found in the car of the FBI agents. So, I'm only asking you to please look at all of the evidence and I believe you will come to the same conclusion that many others have and that is that Leonard Peltier was/is not guilty of the murder of the two FBI agents. I can understand your not wanting to do it until just before you leave office and I can only pray that Leonard will make it till then, his health is deteriorating, not being allowed to return him to a prison closer to his family is leaving him bereft of the love and comfort which most inmates have to help get them thru the prison life and it is being used as a form of punishment to Leonard. I voted for you twice because I believe that you are someone who is a fair and honest man, someone who can take into account the views of everyone and make the right choices which, in spite of the Republicans efforts to block these choices, you have done so. So please Mr. Obama, release Le
He is innocent. Let him have his life back!
Leonard Peltier is an innocent man who has spent over 40 years in prison because he was a protector of Native Americans in the US. President Obama, grant Leonard clemency now and accept that the US judical system has made a tremendous, though reversible, mistake.
Dear President Obama, Please free Lenard now. It's the right thing to do. Please. NOW. please! now.
Please grant Leonard clemency, has enough of his life not been stolen from him. Let him spend his last years in the freedom of Mother Nature please.
Please free Leonard. He has been held without proper evidence for far too long. His health is failing. It's time to send him home. He should have been free years ago!
Its time to release Leonard Peltier. Its the right thing to do. Please, Mr President, grant clemency now,
he needs to be free
Free Mr. Peltier
Free Mr. Peltier NOW. then free all the others maybe we will accept that as the first of your apologies and debts to people of the world
Free Leonard Peltier implement the 30 year mandatory release law.
They can Free A Spy With extremely amount of information and evidence,....... But keep a man in prison With no extremely amount of evidence or proof, no witnesses or weapons used & falsely imprisoned, The Native American need's to be released to his Reservation Home, . He is serving a useless Sentence of crime not committed.
I attended the fundraiser in Taos last month and was inspired by the harmony between the Anglos, the pueblo people and the Rastas. Living on the east coast, this was not an issue I was informed about. But one of national dignity. Thank you for keeping it alive.
Same age as Mr. Peltier..
This is an issue dear to my heart. I am asking this President to do the right thing, and to commute the remainder of Peltier's term. It would be an act of grace.
Free Leonard
FREE LEONARD!!!!!!
Free brother Leonard now, Free the Land!
Justice must be done..
The United States claims to be the "Freest country in the world" Let's make that true. We can start by freeing all political prisoners starting with Leonard Peltier.
Leonard has had so much worldwide support. This is a matter of worldwide course!
he was framed...
Do something! Release Leonard/ Our country has so much Indian blood on our hands, Give Leonard back his life. At least do that.
I will keep this page shared on facebook, in an effort to gather support!
Let him out. He's innocent. Why do you ignore the damn evidence? Do what's really just and right. Show some integrity. Let Leonard get back to his family.
Disgraceful
Thank you, President Obama, for taking Executive Action on this issue.

It has been too long since Leonard's wrongful imprisonment The continued persecution of Natives must stop starting with his release and full pardon for all the false accusations etc.
With all of the easily accessible public documentation and attestation available proving that Peltier was falsely convicted it is appalling that he is still imprisoned.
Enough is enough ,it's time !
President Obama we all know that this is an injustice allowed for too, too long. You alone can release him. Help Free us all of our complicity in the crimes against the indigenous people of this place we call home.
Do what needs to be done. Free Peltier NOW
Justice & Clemency for Leonard Peltier.
This presidency is close to ending, President Obama can by executive order pardon Leonard Peltier. I pray he will do this, the gentleman is now elderly and not well. Please find it in your heart to allow him to pass on in Sioux country and not behind bars. Thank you for your time. Susie Hunt
This was, and still is, wrong. Fix it Mr. President

It is time to have the courage to do the right thing for this man!
Free Leonard Peltier
You need to correct the injustice that was done to Leonard Peltier. Such abuse of power is unacceptable. Release him and allow him the rest of his freedom that was wrongfully taken from him. FBI agents started firing first. We are allowed to defend our freedom. If he was not shot at this would never have happened. Again abuse of power. .
I think it's time to release Leonard Peltier, he done enough dead time for something he did not do
Free Leonard Peltier from a unjust and rigged sentence of two life imprisonments.
Clearly Leonard Peltier is America's #1 political prisoner. Please free him. Justice must be served.
Terribly unjust. A new trial is the least that should be done. I wish Leonard even more strength.
Let Leonard Peltier free.
The time is now Please freedom for Leonard Peltier The world is Waiting
Free this man- he is ill and has been imprisoned long enough. End this travesty.
Please. Open your heart, open the door, let Leonard go home.
There is no sense in keeping this man incarcerated and a burden to the taxpayers of this country
Justice has long been denied. Leonard Peltier should have been freed from the prison system long ago.
Clemency for Leonard please!
Leonard is a prisoner of conscience and I am in sincere hopes his sentence will be commuted and he will be freed.
Free this man- he is ill and has been imprisoned long enough. End this travesty.
It is time, the evidence is sketchy at best, Free This man!

I grew up in Minnesota. My mother was Full-blooded 100% Sioux.Do not know what clan. I was Given up for adoption at about 6 mos. old. I have never been registered or affliated with any tribe due to the adoption. <Lived on the Red Lake Reservation in MN for a short time when I was younger. I remember that standoff in 1977. Ther was no justice in the governments action. I grew up in Minneapolis, and had the opportunity to meet Russell Means when the AIM document was signed and became a MOVEMENT. WE are a powerful people, and have been badly mistreated by the so-called Americans I this country. So I say, "We are a better people foe having the knowledge, and skills to sustain. And as an elder, Mr. Leonard Peltier; u are an inspiration. I dream to obtain the STRENGTH YOU HAVE. PEACE
Do something no other president had the courage to do - free Leonard Peltier.
I agree that Mr Peltier has suffered enough and should be allowed freedom.
Please give him his freedom he's paid for it long enough for something he didn't do
Please release Leonard he needs to be home with family.I think enough is enough.Please hear my Plea.Thank you n may God Bless

This is long overdue. Please do the right thing and grant him executive clemency now.
Leader, Communist Party of Canada - Manitoba.
For God's sake, let this innocent man go!
It's time and way past time.
I believe that Peltier was illegally arrested and convicted for a crime he did not commit. The evidence is in. Leonard Peltier must be freed immediately.
Peltier deserves to be free so that he can live out his life with his family and friends as a free man!
Please take ethical, compassionate, and merciful action - free Leonard Peltier at last! This has been a gross miscarriage of justice and his health situation alone warrants clemency. The world knows that he is a political prisoner and so do many of the American people. It is time that we come to terms with First Nations peoples in a respectful and loving manner. Thank you for your thoughtful and kind consideration.
It's time to free Leonard.
The injustice must end.
It's time.

I was born on 199th birth date of USMC, overseas in middle of war-torn SW Asian by US GOV, and thru my ancient Spirit Mother who carried my SoulSpirit here, back home to my homeland of American continent. I was born in between the dates of the violent massacres of My Native peoples of America between Wounded Knee and Pine Ridge incident. It is no incident I have returned to my homeland to pay respects to our elders, Chief Sitting Bull Lakota, and our ancestors, as I too came to the Americas with our Ancient Nomadic tribes over 10,000s of years ago, to find a peaceful way of life with Mother Earth. We must honor that Peace and share it with all on Earth and beyond. I hope everyone on Earth learns to live in peace and love each other as Creation loves us, love each other as much as we can love our self, to serve and protect Mothership Earth and all her inhabitants, land rock, sky wind, air water, trees and creatures. As we are meant to live and love our self and stop destroying our self, end all war with love now and forever, infinite eternity and beyond. May Peace beyond all understanding be you and all of us, now and forever. Amen Shalom Namaste PeaceLoveJoy Truth sets us free, only real Truth for all is LOVE Agape.
I am a visionseer dreamwalker, and medicinemaker-to be. I want to help, as part of my learning to heal, self & Earth, my walkabout & visionquest. I would like to get legal help,for my injustice battles here in dc, in order to be free physically, financially to walk my path also.
Please free Peltier!
Free Our Brother LEONARD PELTIER! He deserves to be Home with those who LOVE Him! Great Spirit, Please touch the heart of President Barack Obama, CLEMENCY For LEONARD PELTIER!!!!
I am from the Turtle Mountains and I have read quite a bit about the case. First of all our constitution is based on innocence before guilt, the federal government was embarrassed by the fact that they did not have a definitive shooter for the agents that were shot. They had to blame someone, so they took most of an innocent man's life to make someone pay.
It's well beyond the time to right this wrong and free this innocent man.
40 years is enough. Let this old man out of prison
It is long overdue
Please free this man. Thank you.
The American Indian has endured five hundred years of Deceit, Deception, and Genocide. The fbi, guided by the cross dressing sexual pervert,, & criminal, edgar hoover, along with his hand picked domestic terrorist bill janklow. (Gov South Dakota) Their main objective was to crush the " AIM " Movement designed to better the lives of the Lakota Sioux. Investigate, the " Black Hills ", " Wounded Knee "(x2), and, who might read this post, check out the book " In the Spirit of Crazy Horse " by Peter Matthiessen. The fbi, special agent david price, and the bully murderer bill janklow tried in vain to stop this book from being published, they failed!! (I personally spent time in janklow's dungeon)
he should be set free. he is being treated is inhuman
PRESIDENT OBAMA, PLEASE FREE LEONARD PELTIER! CLEMENCY IS NEEDED MR.OBAMA! YOU ARE OUR LAST HOPE!
let Leonard out now
he has done time because somebody else decided it is ok to blame an innocent person because of rce, colour and culture .....set him FREE
Mr. Peltier has been so unjustly charged and incarcerated for so long. Its beyond inhumane to keep denying him his God given right to FREEDOM!!!!
We need justice
President Obama~ Grant Leonard Peltier Executive Clemency in 2016~ it's long overdue. Countless evidence through out his incarceration has proven he was falsely convicted of crimes he did not commit. Look over the documents and evidence and surely you will see many constrictions in his case. 40 years he has been in Prison and it's 40 yrs to long let Leonard go home to his Family Now.! President Obama do Right in the Eyes of Justice before you leave office and give Leonard Peltier the Freedom he Rightfully Deserves in the year of 2016! Give thanks for hearing my heartfelt words of expression upon this day~ Peace Be w/ You in doing the Righteous Action for Leonard Peltier! ~ A' Ho
I became informed of this case through my father Ray Neff.
It's time to right a wrong and stop writing native peoples out of existence and ignoring their presence. Free Leonard Peltier.
Really hoping Obama does the right thing and lets this poor man free
40 years is 40 years too many...free this man!!! Let him have a life. He deserves your pardon President Obama!!! Thank You for caring...
More than enough time has passed, this should be taken care of.
I hope that my President will pardon Mr. Peltier.
I have supported freeing Leonard Peltier for years. The indigenous community grieves for this man and his family. He has served his time and it is high time he goes home.
Let's get this done.
PELTIER MUST BE FREE!!!!!!!!

No evidence he committed a crime and had no fair court hearing.

Please grant Leonard Peltier clemency .
Past time to free Peltier
It's time to start the healing. Please free Leonard.
It's the right thing to do!
Please, please free this innocent man whose life was ruined for no good reason. He's been inside for DECADES. THIS HAS TO STOP!
This clemency is long overdo. Please do what is morally proper.
ITS WAY PAST TIME FOR HIS FREEDOM.
WHY HAS HIS FREEDOM & INCARCERATION & HEALTH NOT A PRIORITY??????
President Obama , I implore you Sir, sign the much overdue Clemency Papers for Leonard Peltier and leave your office term as a friend of the People! Sincerely, Sandra Nelson
Please free this man. No more political prisoners - we as a Nation are better than this.
Leonard is innocent. He has been in jail for a crime he didn't commit. Please free him now. He is ill. Thank you.
Praying for Leonards release!!!
Please let him enjoy his remaining years with his family.
signing the petition for granting Executive Clemency for Leonard Peltier
Free Peltier
We should not still be asking this. Things have to be made right.Drug dealers are being released at a high rate back into our communities from Federal Prison. Those were outrageous sentences and a great waste of tax dollars. Mr. Peltier is only being held out of spite. When will this Country begin to move forward instead of listening to cowards who don't want to see change for the better.
Clemency is way overdue! Bill Clinton should have pardoned him before he left office. Instead he commuted sentences for people such as David Ronald Chandler, a federal death row inmate, Bob Griffin, a former speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives Who was serving two years on bribery charges, Melvin J Reynolds, democratic congressman from Illinois convicted a bank fraud and obstruction of justice, Carlos Vignali, convicted of cocaine trafficking. In all 192 commuted sentences or out right pardons and Leonard Peltier was never mentioned once. Shame on you Bill Clinton, I hope Barack Obama has more guts than you did!
Free Leonard Peliter
Let him free!!!!
When did the justice system become unjust?
Mr. Peltier's sentence has been transformed into an unending torture simply due to the passage of time. He is debilitated and deserves to be home , in the care of people who actually know him and love him.
Free Leonard Peltier and all political prisoners!
Enough is enough. Free Leonard Peltier!!
Innocent until proven guilty
Walk the talk. Mr. President; u claim & once said u understood us; & what the people have went thru!! Then; stay true to ur word. Give Leonard Peltier clemency!!
Bring Mr. Leonard Peltier home
Please let him have some freedom in his life. He is 71 dont you think he serve enough time for his crime. Find it in your hearts to let him have some time with his family as a free man.
Open the gate
It's time to do the right thing
It has been far too long. Please release Leonard Peltier. If not for the indigenous communities he has affected than at least to end his family's suffering.
Free Leonard now, he is serious need of medical attention that he won't get inside and the evidence against him is circumstantial at best...
Please, it's time to right the wrongs that have been done. Release Leonard Peltier, give him his life. He has lost so much, it is time for his freedom.
If it were decades after the end of the Nazi regime in Germany, and the last Jewish survivor of the Warsaw ghetto were still being held in a German prison for the "crime" of fighting back, of resisting genocide, if this prisoner were ignored by the mainstream press and media and by the government and by much of society - it might not seem that there would be consequences. But if this prisoner would to live out the rest of his life and to die in prison - it would reflect a kind of shame on the German nation from which it might never recover.
I am a teacher of Native American literature. I've been teaching people about the injustices done to Leonard Peltier by our government for years. End it.
Please Mr. President, free this innocent man. Let him be free with the sky above him and the land below him.
Please free Peltier.
The time is now.
Cindy Sheen (gold star families for peace) asked Bush in 2004 one question, "For what NOBLE reason did my son have to die?" He refused to answer her. I as you President Obama, "For what NOBLE reason would you refuse to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier?" I would appreciate your response.
The criminal USA can not hide its historic racism and genocide toward the native population of these lands stolen by this very government ill system.
Offer Leonard Peltier clemency
Indigenous voter asking for clemency for Leonard Peltier
Granting clemency to Leonard Peltier would go a long way to affirming fairness and justice to Native Americans in a single, yet significant act.
Enough is Enough!
Leonard Peltier has served his sentence, plus. Clemency for Leonard Peltier!
Yes, please, Sir, do this for the down trodden!
Correct the injustice.
This is heinous crime of the judicial system to have locked Pelitier up at all. Further erodes the FBI
It's well past time to show some compassion to this man, Leonard Peltier. He deserves consideration because it is obvious how flawed the judicial process was that sent him to prison in the first place. Please show courage and release him as soon as possible.
All my Relations
I was a small girl but remember this incident. Enough is enough. Please let leonard go.
I support clemency for Leonard Peltier. Please release this man.
Clemency may be a request but Leonard should also be exonerated as were many innocent prisoners in 2015 and the FBI should be brought to justice
Please do the right thing and right the wrongs that have been done. Leonard Peltier must be set free. He has fraudulently served time in prison and skis have been released twenty years ago. He has spent 40 years incarcerated on charges fabricated by the Federal Government. The entire world recognizeseries this as a fact, why can't you admit the wrong and make amends while he is so living. Whatever example the establishment of that time wanted to make of him has been accomplished. It is now an example of an unfair judicial system that has no conscience or compassion. Please do not allow racism of the past be our present. Allow Leonard to go free. He is very ill and does not likely have long to live. Please send him home to his family and let him live out his final days in the company of his loved ones. Thank you for listening, and thank you, in advance for acting in favor of one man's life - he has paid the price many times over and over. Bless -
It is way past time. You can't call for an end to racism while still ignoring the treatment of the American Indian.
let this guy get out of prison, this is an outrage
Please free Leonard Peltier. It is a travesty that he has been held this long (40 years and 2 days). His health is ailing. The trial was a sham. Have a heart.
Please pardon this man.
Peltier was convicted not because it was shown that he had killed anyone, but purely because of his leadership role. He has been held far too long. And he is not receiving the proper medical attention.
Please FREEDOM FOR LEONARD PELTIER
Please free this man and rectify this travesty of justice!
Free Leonard Peltier! Don't let him die in prison!
He doesn't deserve to die in prison. Please pardon him, Mr President! Thank you.
Crazy Horse lives.
Comme une prière dans une contrée, si sauvage au monde pour ne rien entendre des prières. Like a prayer in such a region, so wild not to hear prayers.
The US Federal Government imprisoned Native American people for unreasonable offenses since the time our people were marched to imprisonment camps created by this institution. This is another example and/or opportunity for the government to do what is right by, and make right the wrongful acts placed upon the indigenous people of this land. You, government officials, leadership of this nation exist because of the land given up by our people. Free Leonard and do what is just.
let him out!!!
You know in your heart and mind it is the right thing to do! Honor
Liberdade para Leonard.
I have read so much material and even those court records that was available to read. I even read that 2 witnesses recanted their story that they sworn too. So if they have shown all evidence that was presented was considered as poison evidence. So please find this man to be a political prisoner and should be set free.
He has paid more than he needed, 40 years.
Leonard Peltier must be released. President Obama - we are counting on you to free this noble and innocent man!
It's time for true justice to be served and Leonard to be freed. The truth has been coming out over the years, yet Leonard remains in prison.
Justice is long overdue.
He is Innocent. The judge was going to throw it out. FBI intervened for no reason. Correct this Atrocity! SET HIM FREE
Nearly as long as Peltier has been in prison I have heard of this case. As a white person I am appalled at this travesty.
Please let the man go. Everything points to his innocence, whether by procedural errors, lies or just plain truth of what happened during that well justified protest over a chapter in American History that we should all be ashamed of.
Now.
Please pardon Leonard Peltier! It is long overdue
It's time to stop this and only you can do it, President Obama.
Enough abuse, enough torture. Let this innocent man out of prison and let him live his last few years with his family.
What is there to say. Gross injustice.
Free Leonard Peltier!!!!! Wrongful Imprisonment of Innocent Indigenous MUST END!
Flawed!
It's time.
Presidential Pardon
This is so overdue! Act now to right an injustice.
Leonard Peltier should have been RELEASED LONG AGO!!! He has served his sentence 6 times so far in the federal prison system!!! How many more life sentences does he have to serve?? RELEASE Leonard Peltier IMMEDIATELY!!!
Please heed the humanitarian call for the release of Mr. Peltier. He has suffered for the unwillingness of past authorities to admit their mistakes. Please right this injustice.
With me being a person who has so much deep compassion for all of life, I strongly feel that Leonard came into this lifetime to live the life of his choosing, and not be denied that right by the ones who the people of this country put their trust and faith in to represent, and uphold the law for total justice, for all people, of this great nation of ours... And upon me reviewing the case that has been built against him, and keeps him incarcerated , is just mind boggling, as to how and why this has been allowed to happen to an innocent individual. Leonards' actual release from prison is long, long, overdue....... Please don't let this man's life come to it's end behind bars, because of a system that ( is designed to protect ) failed him!!.......
My signature is also for an United States and for a world without political prisoners.
It's time for Leonard Peltier's sentence to be commuted. He needs health care. The country needs healing.
This injustice is a travesty on the United States as the world has been watching his for many years wondering why people that are way more deserving of jail have been able to do much in the same thing. He is as Nelson Mandela was and if he dies in prison it will reflect in your country and people to the outside world
Give the man a commutation. A new trial would just open old wounds. He has 'aged out.'
It is time for this innocent Man to be set Free.The Official Record is Typical Law Enforcement Framing Free Peltier!
That is a true injustice! It's sad and scary the people we look to, to free him. Prayers and letters.
Read the once banned book In the Spirit of Crazy Horse by Peter Matthiessen to discover that Leonard Peltier is innocent and the FBI was the criminal.
The man has been locked up long enough let him free
Please free this innocent man
Free Leonard Peltier
Please free this man.
Study Murtle Poor Bear's forced & forged affidavit at the hands of the FBI. Study Douglas Durham and all the agent provocateurs the FBI, CIA and other deep-state agencies employed in the American Indian Movement to commit crimes and cause chaos.
It's about time he gets to see the sun rise.
This has gone on far too long.
Please do the right thing Grant Executive Clemency!
Free LEONARD PELTER!!
After his almost 40 yrs for the trumpted up lies we as true American need to stand for Leonard's freedom.the FBI should apologize an we all can move on. REV.Adams 80 yrs plus
Good luck
Free Leonard Peltier
The continued imprisonment of INNOCENT Leonard Peltier only serves to severely diminish the validity of the Judicial system in the United States of America everyday Leonard is not granted his freedom! Release him yesterday!
Please provide clemency to this man.
I lived in Rapid City for a number of years before returning to England UK. I visited Wounded Knee many times and heard the dreadful stories of what happened during the 1970`s I support the cause to free an innocent man Leonard Peltier
Don't let Leonard die in prison.
Looks like a conspiracy to me.
This man has suffered enough. God asks us to work against oppression.
The time for freedom is NOW.
This is one of the worst travesties perpetrated by the US government. Let's make it right before Peltier dies.
Free this innocent man!
Kindly free Mr. Peltier. I voted for you twice, Please make those decisions to vote for you worthwhile!
I'm am from Fort Peck Indian Rez in Poplar Montana.. within our people we have known many REAL truths about injustice against our people.. it's a always a few that ruins it for any situation .. in this case the FBI.. it was blatant racism and extreme prejudice.. whites who form militias have been around for a long time.. they don't or never have gotten treated with such arrogance and ignorance. Free Leonard Please! He has suffered for so long..he can go home to his family.. and be a leader for Native people.. Please free him President Obama.. I know your capable of doing it.
Mr. Obama , FREEDOM. Free Leonared Peltier. FREEDOM. CLEMENCY. FINALLY.
Free Leonard Peltier,Mr President Obama!
Please allow Leonard to go home.
It is time for Leonard Peltier to be freed from the system. He is a gift from the creator to our people, and has been an elder in need of proper health care, he is not of danger, he is a warrior that has spent far too much time away from his people. Our indigenous communities will be more than grateful & thankful for the clemency of Mr.Peltier.
It is time to release this man or give him a fair trial
It is time to set This man free. He deserved a fair trail,but was not given 1.
Free the Political Prisoner, Leonard Peltier!
LET THIS MAN OUT, HE DIDNT KILL THAT GIRL
I remember watching the news coverage of his trial when I was 14 growing up in SD. Forty years later, Mr. Peltier is wrongfully imprisoned. Set him free.
Must be freed Give Clemency!!!
Paha Sapa. Give back! Free Peltier!
Free Leonard Peltier by executive clemency, President Obama. He was protecting his elders from FBI harassment. He has suffered an injustice that must be acknowledged by releasing him from 40 years of imprisonment.
Leonard Peltier's freedom is long overdue. Please free Leonard Peltier.
please give this matter a close look
Please listen to our voices and free Leonard Peltier
Do the right thing!
Free now.
Please free Leonard Peltier
Will send letters to White House and email. I think that they will disregard the emails, but it is a line that we must use.
Please show compassion to a spiritual man who has done his time.
The SHEER fact our POTUS can release KNOWN TERRORISTS of AMERICAN PEOPLE from GITMO and not release an INNOCENT MAN when his life is almost to an end is DISGUSTING!!! It was a travesty back in 1975 and it REMAINS a travesty of justice!!! DO THE RIGHT THING AND RELEASE THIS MAN WHILE HE CAN STILL BE WITH HIS LOVED ONES FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE GREAT SPIRIT CALLS FOR HIS TO COME HOME!!!
Free Leonard Peltier !!
Leonard should be a LEGEND not a PRISONER!!!
Es reicht jetzt wohl,oder??!
I believe hes innocent,if you can translate words
Everyone KNOWS Leonard Peltier is an INNOCENT man.
A petition for Leonard Peltier should be on Change.org
!
Leonard Peltier is simply an activist for American Indian rights and equal protection under the law. Everyone who followed the trial process and knows the truth about the case knows Leonard is innocent of the charges and it is likely another American Indian wanted on a federal warrant at the time may be the real culprit. Please grant clemency for Leonard Peltier so he can live out his days in dignity and honor. Thank you.
Free Leonard before it's too late for him to receive justice finally. It's the right thing to do.
Please correct this terrible tragedy!
Please free this innocent man!!
My God.....what does it take to free this man? There is absolutely no reason for him to be still behind bars! Free him...NOW!!!!
This man has been kept in prison by FBI testimony. The FBI were also culpable in this incident. Please grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. Thank you.
Prayers for Justice!
Free Leonard Peltier, now.
He was railroaded, plain and simple. He should be released even if it annoys the FBI.
Where is the justice? He has been proven innocent, yet he still lives his life in prison.
FREE HIM NOW
Free Leonard Now!
"How smooth must be the language of the whites, when they can make right look wrong and wrong right." ~ Black Hawk, 1833
It is time to right the wrongs. Free Leonard Peltier because it is the *moral* and *ethical* thing to do.
I've been asked to call the White House on behalf of everyone for Clemency for Leonard Peltier free him please & thank you.
please,please let him come to his family.
There is no credible evidence that can be presented against Leonard Peltier for the crims he is acc used of. The prosecution, in many instances, violated his right to a fair and truthful trial but withholding evidence and critical information that would have exonerated him.
Free him!
This must come to an end. You are our best chance President Obama.
Free Leonard Now !
He deserves to be freed, it is an injustice that he has been behind bars for a crime that he did not commit.
Free Leonard Peltier
President Obama: only YOU can free this innocent man!
Set our brother free, NOW
A time to heal has come!
He has been in prison for way to long for a crime he didn't commit. Please send him home to his family.
set him free
the time for justice is now!!
This is our Mandela of the USA, it's a shame and a blight on the government that it's gone on for this long. Set him FREE and send him home to his people,NOW!!
Free Leonard peltier now
Come on, Obama, do the right thing by this man before you leave office.
Please give clemency to a political prisoner insuring justice is secured. You've done so little for our people start here, start now.
free Leonard
Enough is enough. Please let this man go home to his people.
The FBeyes knows no shame. The dishonesty and misconduct of the FBI is appalling,
I respectfully request executive clemency for Leonard Peltier due to to the incongruities and prosecutorial errors in his conviction. Why? It's the right thing to do!
Free a free human being, an innocent man!
Please! He was fighting the age old war defending Native American rights and is no more guilty than the U.S. Calvary was fighting the Indians back in the 1880's, maybe less so.
My heart breaks for him and the 40 years of injustice he has had to endure.
Free Leonard Peltier!!!
It is time to move on. Compassion dictates that he be released for a crime he may not have even committed in the first place.
Mercy and clemency are a blessing to all -- at any point, no matter how belated.
For the earth
I identity with your oppression because my husband to is a federal inmate whom is being extorted abused and threatened
FREE LEONARD... HE IS INNOCENT, and NEVER should've been thrown behind bars. FREE THE MAN ALREADY!
Obama: Do not miss an opportunity to do the Right Thing
Obama: Do not miss an opportunity to do the Right Thing
Free a great activist
Free Leonard Pelletier
Long overdue. This is clearly a miscarriage of justice. Release immediately.
www.pamelaandersonfoundation.org
The injustice towards this man on his own ancestral land and since early childhood is evil. To rob someone of their identity, culture and then to abuse them for it can only be the devils' philosophy!
Leonard Peltier has major health issues and urgently needs to be with his family.
He has paid enough even IF he did it.
It is time. He is innocent. A scapegoat. No harm to society. Let him go
There seems to be CLEAR evidence in this case of SERIOUS doubts of Mr. Leonard Peltier's involvement in these cases. Not only considering that, Mr. Leonard Peltier's health and risk for premature death while in prison should be taken into account here as well. PLEASE Mr. President, grant Executive Clemency to Mr. Leonard Peltier as soon as possible. #FreeLeonardPeltier
It has been too long. Stop the oppression
Leonard Peltier's conviction is not fit to stand, he should be freed.
Please....Justice must be done ....
Last summer the plight of Leonard Peltier came to my attention because of the hospitality and companionship offered to me by a group of Lakota in the Black Hills. I sign this petition at their request because Peltier's incarceration the result of gross misconduct by the government. Further, denying his freedom is a symbol of hostile relations between first-nations people and the US government, a cycle which needs to be broken. Granting clemency to Peltier would be a step in the healing process, and would mean all the world to Peltier himself.
Mr. Obama, Please free Leonard Peltier now looking at the evidence you know he has been convicted unjustly. Thank You
It has been long enough...it is time to set this man free....
Please free trhis man he is innocent
Free Leonard Peltier
It's Time Mr, President.
Innocent people in prison is unacceptable
freedom is justice...he is not guilty...the whole incarceration is a control...manipulation ...that is turning against the oppressors...release and give him and native nations equinimity...restoration and return of lands...honour the treatys...thank you for your conciousness pres obama...this release will give you the hounour of being the president that truely did the turning ...to reconcile indigenous nations and will bring health wealth and peace to you & millions! chi miigwetch! we are gratefull!
It would be a long time coming
President Obama, There were so many disturbing irregularities in the case against Peltier. His conviction was, and still is, a beacon of the unfairness of U.S. justice system. Please free this man. Sincerely, Mark Macek
Enough is Enough, please free Mr. Peltier.
He needs to be pardoned
Dear President Obama, Please do the right thing and free this great man. I'll love you so much if you do. Thank You, Veta Gashgai
Pleas free Mr Leonard Pelteer .
Please, it's been long enough
Let justice be served. Free Leonard Peltier
Please free Leonard Peltier...he is innocent of these crimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to see this Country do the right thing. These are very sentive issues, but can be fixed. Other Country's realized there mistake and made reparations.

Thank you for making this historic and healing decision for everyone! Love, Sareanda
Free him now.
America has a stain on it and until this injustice is resolved it will forever be held accountable in history.
It is past time. Free him now.
Free him now
Right this wrong...
It's past time. Free this man.
Please free him. He has served his time..time to move forward.
How much more time does one need to serve for actions done (or perhaps not done) from the past? At whose discretion? And at what point are we finally reconciled?
Leonard is also a victim of unjust Canadian extradition laws
Freedom. He protected his Freedom.
Please President Obama pardon Leonard Peltier so that he may spend the rest of his days in peace and with the love of his family and relatives surrounding him. It is the right thing to do and it would show your compassion and respect to all Native Americans across the land we all call home Mitakuye Oyasin
This case was a gross miscarriage of justice. This man served more time than he ever should have. He deserves his freedom
Leonard Pelltier has been in jail too long. Please do the right thing and set him free. The Republicans will complain - but people are on the side of justice.
This poor mans life has been destroyed.
Justice should be for everyone, not just the rich. Why are the poor sentenced to prison for years while the wealthy can bankrupt the country, forcing millions of people into foreclosure, pay a small fine, give themselves bonuses for doing it, and avoid going to jail. What kind of justice is this? This man should have been released years ago.
Looks like mishandled case
The moral compass of humanity demands Leonard Peltiers release from prison. You have the power to right this wrong.
While the US hegemony criticizes other countries for their human rights abuses it is time for more vigilance within to lead by example and practice what they preach.
Justice MUST be dispensed. He also needs compensation.
He was framed. He has been imprisoned long enough.
Very few people who know anything about this believe that Leonard Pelletier is guilty. But even if he was, he has been punished long enough.
Free Leonard Now!
All the evidence points to a miscarriage of justice in this case. Please free Peltier.
Enough is enough.
End this travesty of justice now.
Leonard has served enough time for a crime he did not do.Its time to send him home to turtle mountain.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 40 yrs!
Please free Mr Leonard Peltier. Thank you!
I Believe that the reason I voted for youPresident Obama is because you are a man of truth and juatice please free and release Leonard
THE compassionate and JUST thing to do.
He is the sad symbol of the treatment of the indigenous at the hands of entrenched predjudice
Dear President Obama - free Leonard Peltier. Blessings to you and your family.
freedom and justice for all must begin with freedom and justice in the lives of individual human beings. time to do what's right to right the wrongs.
Healing for all.
Dear President Obama. I believe you will do what's right and free this man. Why wait any longer.
Free Leonard Peltier.
Leonard should be FREE!
It is beyond belief that this man spent even one day in jail, much less 40 years. Will we ever stop persecuting America's first people? Free him, let him live in peace.
Really you havent fixed this wrong yet? Come on US do the right thing.
Free Leonard Peltier
Keeping Leonard Peltier locked in a maximum security prison should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. It has been proven time and again that he is an innocent man. It is beyond time that the Federal Government stop the genocide of this lands indigenous peoples. Mr. President please, you are in a position to help. You are in a position to stop this hateful, unjustified, and unnecessary imprisonment. Free an innocent man and allow him to live whatever is left of his life in peace. This country owes so much to its indigenous inhabitants and that is a debt that will never be repaid but this would be a step in the right direction and you know it. Please do the right thing. Please stop the violence. Please stop killing us. We are still here.
Please do the right thing for this man, Mr. President. You have done so much good in the past seven and a half years... let Leonard Peltier's freedom be another diamond of your legacy.
Please free Leonard Peltier!
Free Leonard ,he is an inosent man .
How can Leonard Peltier still be in prison 40 years later, when so much evidence shows that he is innocent?
Let him out!!! He should have never been in prison. Have some respect, Obama. He deserves freedom.
You have granted clemency to so few! Let Leonard Peltier out!!
It is clear that however he started out, Mr Peltier has for many years been a man of substantial merit, and a good influence on others. His legal team have drawn attention to the anomalies in his prosecution, but that aside, his behaviour over the last decades has surely earned him the right to clemency now.
For the love of God and justice, please stop ignoring us and grant clemency to this innocent and aggrieved man.
he's Nelson Mandela and Ghandi all in one..... let him be free for the rest of his short time on earth.
I find it hard to believe that Leonard Peltier is still held in prison!
Please bring Leonard Peltier home to his family.
the time for justice is now!
Please do the right thing and give Leonard Peltier the freedom he has been so long denied. Even if he was guilty of the crime he was accused of, he should be free now. Thee is absolutely no reason to continue to hold Mr. Peltier except as a petty act of vengeance. Please let this man, who has been so long denied justice, live the last part of his life in dignity and with family and loved ones.
For almost 40 years Leonard Peltier has been in prison- unfairly. I believe justice needs to happen under your presidency. Clemency is the right thing to do!
It's never to late to right a wrong...even for the US government. It is time to free Leonard Peltier. DR
He needs to be freed Mr. Obama. It is injustice for him to be in prison for false charges.
Free Leonard Peltier.
Everyone else has been given clemany. Free Leonard Peltier! Thanks
Please free Leonard Peltier. This has been an continued injustice and a failure of our system, that this man has been imprisioned. A man who has been nominated numerous times for the Nobel Peace Prize, has been in a United States prison for a crime that he did not commit, for decades too long. Please do this act of Clemency, and free him from prison.
Please free Leonard Peltier.
Leonard Peltier was frame and punished unjustly. He should be granted clemency and set free.
Free Leonard Peltier NOW!
After decades of unwarranted imprisonment, Mr. Obama, it is time to stand on the right side of history and with the indigenous people of the United States. You have made your interests in justice for the most impoverished among us clear. However, the bureaucracy and other systems have made that justice slow in coming, With this one act, whose time is long in coming, you can reaffirm your solidarity with our indigenous brothers and sisters and help steer our nation toward better relations with those whom we have robbed.
Right a wrong, Mr. President!
I cannot imagine having my life stolen by being wrongfully imprisoned.
Free an innocent man
Free this innocent man
The time has come for President Obama to use his power of clemency to Free Leonard Pelletier
A great wrong has been done to this man, it is time that the government make this right and release him.....
Its disconcerting to live in a country that still allows an this injustice to continue!

My ♡ Aches Rights Violations Political Prisoner Free Our Brother
It is time for this government to right the wrong that was done to Leonard all those years ago. Come on Mr. Obama...step up!
This is so long overdue that it's become an atrocity. People and leaders from all over the world know of and are outraged about the incredible injustice served toward Mr. Peltier. Leaders at the UN and Human Rights Activists groups from all over the world have been requesting Leonard's clemency for years and years!! What is the U.S. Government so afraid of in this case??!
Still time to do the right thing. Please free this man! This is a national shame and wrong.
Yes, please free Him.
please help to put an end to this result of vindictive policing and this symbol for the centuries of persecution of the first nations people of this country.
what is the fbi scared of, to be exposed of their sorry incompetence
How much proof does it take, you have had a man in jail for ears because the government does not want to be proven wrong. Let him come home to be with his family, please
His freedom is long overdue
That Leonard Peltier is still incarcerated is one of the very damning facts of all that is wrong with our government. I've signed these petitions for decades. Free this man.
Mr President, you fully endorsed Nelson Mandela and the work he did for his people. Why can't you do the same for Leonard Peltier who is no less of a man with aspirations for his people as high. Set him free, please, to enable him to fulfil these aspirationsand in so doing make for a better world for all of us. Surely this is the wise thing to do, before it is too late,
Because it's the right thing to do let the man out let him go home
He and his family have been martyrs long enough for what? Thanks for considering.
The time is now...let this man go home.
It's past time to free Leonard Peltier. Please grant him clemency today!
The false extradition itself warrants his release.
Please free this wrongfully accused man his rights have been violated it's time 40 long yrs for something he did not do
Truly, this man has served his time and needs to be released.
Please free Leonard Peltier. The lack of evidence and unequal treatment is plain to see. Do the right thing. He's entitled to fair treatment. As a first nations person myself, I aware of my peoples history and horrendous injustices against us. We are an after thought to most of society. Make that change. Hear our voice. Let him be free. Do the right thing.
It is past time.
Please free this man. He has served all this time and lost the majority of his life for a crime that was never proven that he committed. Don't let them keep him behind bars because he is Native American.
Please free Mr. Peltier. It's the right thing to do.
Mr. President: Leonard Peltier was a community organizer who was unjustly convicted and he has served more than 40 years. His continued imprisonment is a daily reminder of this country's crimes against Native peoples. Mr. President - please correct this injustice and free Leonard Peltier.
President Obama, please do the right thing. Free this Native American man, he is not a risk to anyone!
Free him before time and health take a toll
Free an innocent man, political prisoner who was only found guilty by ignorance and racism towards native people and who is condemned by our government as a radical for giving Native American a voice, a leader and trying to bring pride back into his community. #freeleonardpeltier. 40yrs is long enough.
Please correct your Justice and free Peltier. Don't keep "silenced apartheid" alive!!
Please let this man who fought so hard for freedom and equality live his last days as a free person!
I have watched and waited for many years for somebody to release Mr Peltier. I see him as a Nelson Mandela of Native American rights and history will look back with derision at presidents that ignored his plight.
Land of the free? Prove it and release this innocent man. Has America not treated its native people badly enough. Modern America would do well to learn some lessons from the humility,dignity and honour demonstrated by its original inhabitants. Sadly, these qualities are woefully lacking in much of your country's modern day establishment. May this poor man find freedom and peace so long denied him.
Leonard has paid for the crime of being an Indian. let him be with his family in the ast years of his life.
Hasn't he given his "pound of flesh"? Free this Native American leader.
C'mon Mr President. Please do the right thing. Thank you.
It's been to long, release this man her clearly poses no risk to anyone.
Leonard is a scapegoat for an aggravated assault
He deserves to be set free! Please do this before you leave office! PLEASE!
Please free Leonard Peltier.
Set him Free
Please do this, Mr. President. Let this aging, ill, articulate and powerful voice free! They won't parole him because he can't express remorse for a crime he did not commit. Say it's for improved relations with the native people of this land. Say it's out of compassion for an old man. Just grant him clemency. Please.
Please, do it now!
Free Peltier.
Free Leonard; he is innocent.
Dear Mr. President, Please grant clemency for this ill and suffering elder of our country. It should be painfully clear that he was wrongfully convicted and is certainly not a criminal, but a voice of reason, of peace, and healing for not only his people, but for all our people and the coming generations of our country. Please help lead us in taking real and meaningful steps towards restoring a relationship of healing and trust with America's First Peoples, and let this old man live out his last days quietly and with dignity.
It is the right thing to do. Please free Leonard Peltier!!!
Please free the innocent. How many decades must this last?
He's suffered along enough....grant Leonard pe!tier clemency President Obama....do the right thing.
At the very least he deserves a new trial with ALL the evidence available!
Free Leonard!
Please grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. I have supported you since day one and I believe in you and your goodness.
In our justice system the best actor (prosecution) wins. Information is hidden by the side in power. Give all, all information to the 12 deciders and let it stand. Our system leans.
It is time to show judicial fairness to Leonard Pelletier and free him.
If Obama can free 5 of Americas top dangerous terrorists from prison. He can free our brother. Leonard Peltier. He was falsely accused of a crime he did not committe and was beaten to a pulp after arriving to prision he is sick and needs medical treatment he is not getting in prison if they can free blacks and whites who has commited crimes and maybe some were innocent they can free our Native Indian brother
We ALL know it's way past time to release our native brother. I BEG you to do this one last good deed before you leave your post as leader of the "free" world.
Please oh please, how much is enough time. Show him mercy, he is an old man!
It is past time to free this politcal prisoner.
This is a matter of true justice -- not a matter of a governmental agency (FBI?) getting even. All facts and authoritative investigations point to a miscarriage of justice. As an adopted Tuscaroran, I urge the president to do what is morally and judicially RIGHT.
Leonard Peltier is a scapegoat and his continued imprisonment is a travesty of justice. We appeal to you, Mr. President, to do right by Mr. Peltier and our indigenous people.
Wounded Knee all over again. When do we stop screwing our Native Americans?
It is time to free a innocent man that never should of been imprisoned in the first place.
Please set this man free, President Obama. It's time. Thank you.
I Would Like To See All Political Prisoners Be Released From Prison For Crimes That They Didn't Commit And Are Being Held Falsely Against. Free! Leonard Peltier Now!!!.
Leonard is a political prisoner. It is time to do the right thing and release him from prison. I believe he was made a scapegoat and that he is innocent!
Mr. Peltier has done his time in prison. He does not pose any threat to US security. Do the right thing and free this senior citizen
Send the petition now, even though we ddn't get the numbers. Obama is last hope. Need a true over son to person handing paper over. Maybe Michelle. I am not talking about media event, a
I pray that Leonard Peltier may finally be free for having served more than half of his life for a crime he did not do.
A lasting reminder of how the System has used the authority of Manifest Destiny to legitimize the war against indigenous peoples.
About time to do the right thing!!
In this jubilee year of mercy, please free Mr. Leonard Peltier without further delay.
PRAY FOR FREEDOM FOR LEONARD! I have supported and prayed for Leonard since the injustice against him occurred. Now more then ever before hope is in the hearts and minds of us. STAY STRONG IN THE SPIRT OF CRAZY HORSE!
Free the Caged Eagle!
Please consider the lack of evidence & conflicting information in this case & grant clemency to Mr Peltier. Thank you.
Mr. President please free Mr. Peltier. He deserves to be with his family. We are all Gods children. Mr. Peltier has proven by his actions that his heart is pure. He deserves to be with his native people. God bless you and God bless America
Please, Mr. President, free this man without delay. A lifetime in prison in a travesty of justice...81 days left to grant his clemency, let this man be with his family! Your country needs to see you do this. Please. Thank you.
Dear President Barack Obama, Please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, long a symbol of American Indian peace, freedom,and hope.
Dear President Barack Obama, please do the right thing and grant clemency to Mr. Peltier - he has done his time in prison and does not pose any threat to US security. Thank you very much!
Dear a President Obama, Hear our pleas and correct one of the many uncountable wrongs done to the American Indians and free Leonard Peltier! Even your mentor Nelson Mandela wished for his freedom, before passing. Before leaving office, show that you truly were every mans president and make this happen. History will remember, the American Indians will remember. Thank you!
Free Leonard !!!
Free this man, stop being so barbaric with these ridiculous sentences
For many years I have signed these petitions. Please be the one to finally right this terrible wrong.
Please give this man his freedom! Be the Change you want to see in the world!!!
At my age, the idea of a unique innocent man is denied his freedom because of racist actions is truly more than sad. Where are American Values? Where is this nation heading? Free Leonard! He is part of the answer to America's revision!
A huge injustice was done. Let him go.
I have followed Mr Peltiers case for over twenty years, and it is outraging that he is still imprisoned. It is inhumane and as time passes, more and more unjust. It makes your country and legal system look very, very bad.
A show of good faith is in order at this time. Releasing Peltier would be a good start.
I have been following this case from the very beginning. It is time to Free this innocent man.
NOW is the time
Please free Leonard Peltier while he is still alive.
Free Leonard Peltier! 40 years is too long for a man whose guilt is debatable and whose conviction was secured in part by withholding exculpatory evidence!
Follow the evidence
Do the right thing!
I have been requesting to have Leonard Peptide freed for over ten years.
This man should not be detained in American prisons. The world is watching you USA.
Please do the right thing and let him be free
The state in my country is Tauranga not Wyoming.
Free this man at once! Leonard Peltier has suffered for far too long for a crime that he did not commit!
Please release Leopard Peltier
Please show your heart!
Obama, Please Free Leonard
Time for justice!
Free Leonard Peltier!
Please free Leonard before the end of your presidency. He is in poor health and has suffered enough.
Please give some justice to Leonard Peltier
FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
It has been 20 years and still Leonard Peltier sits in jail. As Canadians we should have not let Leonard go back to the US as we know that the length of sentences in itself is criminal. I still cannot understand how the government keeps this man in prison and still denies him the right to be free. Come on Obama do a great thing and free Leonard.
I need Obama to consider my spouse for Clemency to be freed
I think Leonard is innocent and that he deserves to be free.
Please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier ASAP
Please free this innocent man.
this blatant injustice should not happen in our country. FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
To be honest the case of Mr Peltier was brought to my attention thanks to the band Rage Against The Machine and i then obtained the book 'In the spirit of Crazy Horse' which introduced me to the American Indian Movement. My mother surprised me with naming a few famous actors who were supporters of the AIM. The more i've researched the group and this particular case the more i truly think that the FBI went after the movement because they were threatened by it's numbers and support. As usual they created a scenario and it blew up in their faces when 2 of the dickheads got wasted. There had to be a scapegoat and it was Mr Peltier. I'm a proud white man that's no secret but how the European settlers treated the indigenous people is nothing short of a disgrace. I should know i'm a second class citizen in this country. This is your chance Obama to now out having actually achieved something......let him go please.
Enough! Clemency for Leonard NOW Please!!!!!
This is a travesty of justice; free Leonard Peltier.
Bottom line: there appears to be a lot of reasonable doubt concerning Leonard Peltier's conviction. If this is the case why is he still incarcerated?
Please show some mercy and pardon this man.
Please free Leonard Peltier now.
Please free this man.
Justice for Mr. Peltier and for Standing Rock!
Free Leonard now! He deserves to come home.
Please grant Leonard Peltier now. Indigenous people continue to suffer under US imperialism. Please end it.
Please bring Peace, Justice, Respect to Leonard Peltier, Standing Rock, and Indigenous People.
Please show your respect for justice and for the human rights of native Americans by acting before it's too late. Do you want this travesty on your conscience?
Please please let this man go home to his land which he has not seen in over 29 years. Please let him spend his last days with his feet on earth and face in the wind.
Free our beloved, fierce Protector of Life for all of us! Free Leonard Peltier!
Free this beloved human who has done so much on behalf of humanity and our earth.
The current attacks on native Americans at Standing Rock is a reminder that those who claim to lead the United States have learned nothing since they falsely convicted Leonard Peltier. Leonard's real crime was standing up for his people.
Please if can not stop DAPL you can free a man who deserves to be with his family and the sacred land.
Mr Obama, please free Léonard Peltier who has spent too long in jail. He is now belonging to a minority, the first inhabitents in America the only reason why he is considered as guilty. Thank You and all the best for You. Maryse
Free Leonard Peltier. Let him live the remainder of his life with his people, on his Ancestors ground.
You're running out of time. Are you satisfied with the change behind you, or do you want to push towards freedom?
The prosecution's case was very poor. Peltier should be released.
It's time to let Leonard go
President Obama pardon Leonard Peltier now.
Person please, it is about time.
This would be a change we might have believed in (as opposed to most of your campaign promises) and it costs you nothing. Do the right thing.
Please give Mr. Peltier the justice that he deserves after having his freedom taken away from him unjustly for so many years. Your power to make this decision is probably his last hope. Thank you.
Free him now!!
Now is the time. He has served so many years and is no threat to anyone.
It is immoral not to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier.
Justice must be served.
Enough is enough.
This case sounds like a gross miscarriage of justice. Peltier should be granted executive clemency to correct the injustices committed against him!
enough is enough. Obama now is the time.
Let him free because he need to go home he very sick men he has done his time we native are family we never give up send him home
I urge President Obama to grant clemency for Leonard Peltier. Recognizing that Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for decades for a crime he did not commit, various other governments, dignitaries, and human rights organizations from around the world also have called for Leonard Peltier’s release.
Time to end the Indian Wars.
Please
General Petreaus spent no time in prison for giving away classified information. Mr. Peltier, an innocent man, has spent 40 years in prison: seriously President Obama.
Obama - you are a lawyer. You know this is wrong. Do it now before you go. Please.
Please President Obama, do the right thing. This would be a wonderful addition to your legacy.
As a teacher here in New Mexico, I've had 90 of my 7th graders write a letter to President Obama on behalf of Leonard Peltier. We did this two weeks ago.
Set him free.
Leonard Peltier was framed in the case in which he was convicted, and faced serious constitutional violations throughout the trial, including false evidence obtained through torturous interrogations. He has served his time and should be granted clemency to spend his remaining years in his community, getting access to the support and healthcare that he needs.
President Obama, Leonard Peltier was wrongly accused over 40 years ago and he has been imprisoned ever since. Please grant him the freedom he so deserves.
Mr. President, We, the people of the United States of America, implore your office to grant executive clemency to Leonard Peltier. Thank you in advance for your fortitude. Sincerely. Mark Makai
This is a travesty of the justice your country was once known for. it would balance the scales minimally if you would set this man free to enjoy his last day,months or years in freedom.
It's past time to give this man justice and compassion. Barak Obama needs courage and strong moral judgment to allow Leonard Peltier to leave prison as well as get the medical care that he needs.
Should have freed Leonard at least25 years ago !
political prisoner 40 yrs later,.. come on Obama, do something brave & true before you leave. You know in your heart he did not do what they accuse him of.
Time is running out. Please free Leonard Peltier!
Now. Tonight. Please.
It is past time for Leonard to be freed. President Obama should do the right thing.
Mercy is a much greater attribute than the corruption that has kept Leonard Peltier hostage. He is now in dire need of decent medical care to address an aneurysm that threatens his life. Please, while it is still within your power, do the right thing, the humane & compassionate thing. Release him.
Both the investigation and the trial were seriously flawed; The sentence was disproportionate and unsupported by credible evidence. Mr Peltier should be released before 20 Jan 2017. Thank you for your consideration in this matter
Please do the right thing for this man, an innocent man unfairly convicted, who now has very little of his life to live in freedom. This justice is overdue. Thank you for carefully considering granting him clemency.
Whilst I cannot understand how the Dept of Justice can deny Mr Peltier a re-trial, I know that it is within the President's ability to give Executive Clemency and respectfully ask that this be given to Mr Peltier who has served almost 40 years and in that time lost family without being able to be with them, including on 9/12/16 his yongest son. Mindful of all he has endured, and considering his age and ill health I respectfully ask that Mr Peltier be granted Executive Clemency by President Obama. Please dont leave him in jail. Thank you.
Please show good faith towards native Americans and pardon Leonard Peltier
This activist has served enough time, especially as it was never proven that he did the killings! This activist has done enough time, especially as it was never proven that he did the killings!
Free Leonard Pelletier
PRESIDENT OBAMA...PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING...RELEASE LEONORD BEFOE YOU LEAVE WASHINGTON
set this man free .....please
May justice be served with Leonard's release.
Please let this man go free.
Please, President Obama, grant clemency to Leonard Peltier before you leave office. Join Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu among countless others who have recognized the injustice of Leonard's incarceration for an act he did not commit. We need good acts right up to the end of your Presidency for we know we have much to fear in the future.
May justice prevail. Pardon Mr. Peltier.
Let us heal together and free a man who's an ambassador to the direction we all need to be going in,the most beneficial for every sentient being in this world.
Dear President Obama, Please honor the earth and the first people and honor America now through your executive order to free Leonard Peltier.
There is no more excuse to keep Peltier in prison! Please bring justice to this man who is the victim of illegal government misconduct. Stand in support of justice and release him!
His our Elder, please let him go now. He almost died in there, it is time he comes home to be amongst his people and his homeland. Please Mr. President, our people beg of you!
Please grant clemency toNative American leader Leonard Peltier. He has suffered in prison long enough for a crime he may not have committed. Amnesty International has been supporting his release for years. He is now older and in ill health, and is not allowed surgery for his aneurism.
Free Leonard Now!
Please do the right thing and give Mr. Peltier his freedom. An innocent man, a Native American, has endured enough. Give him the freedom he deserves!
The FBI framed Leonard Peltier. He should be freed!
President Obama, please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. You have supported the Lakota people during the on-going battle for clean water. Mr. Peltier was not responsible for the deaths of anyone and his actions in the 1970's were very akin to the actions taken by the water protectors. It is time to right and wrong that was carried out 40 years ago. Sincerely, Kelly Hawkins
Time to do the right thing!
I have to believe that President Obama, a decent fair man, will grant clemency to Leonard Peltier.
Be bold and righteous! Let Leonard free, people have worked for 40 years trying to free this man, I've grown up hearing about it. They let Nelson go, time for Leonard. NOW'S THE TIME or he never will be. We owe Native Americans so much, free the man!
Please pardon this man, President Obama. If you don't do it, you know Trump will NEVER do it! Donna
It is in all of our collective best interests to free Leonard Peltier.
Dear Mr. President, In these waning days of your administration it is time for you to limber up: get those arms and shoulders loose and warm, and grope behind you in search of your moral backbone. It's not too late for you to show the ethical bearing you've tried with your eloquence to convince us you have. Stop talking and do the right! Sincerely, David Yearsley
It is imperative that President Obama do the right thing and release Leonard Peltier as well as Oscar Lopez Rivera before he leaves office.
This is an obvious injustice.
Please release him.
There was never any conclusive evidence that Leonard was involved in the shootings he has spent 40+ years in prison for. At 72, it's well beyond time to let him go. He clearly poses no danger to the public. It wouldn't bring justice to this outrage, but it would show some humanity and compassion. Sincerely, Kathleen
The white eye has forgotten there job to keep all native Americans safe. We should reverse the roll and see what what happens.
The facts support his innocence. Remember what the FBI is capable of, ie. CONINTELPRO!
Leonard Peltier has served enough time for a crime he didn't commit.
President Obama: Do the RIGHT DECENT action to free Leonard Peltier!!!!
Considering the illegal actions of the FBI by using false documents to extradite Peltier from Canada, and the presiding judge preventing ballistic information from being admitted to prove the gun used to kill the two agents was not from Leonard Peltier's gun, and since there is no hope that a re-trial will ever be granted, we are asking you, President Obama, to grant Mr. Peltier clemency in the name of justice and U.S. Law.
Leonard Peltier should be pardoned after serving more than 40 years. For those of us who were active during Wounded Knee there was no question that the role of the FBI and other law enforcement was that of an occupying force at Pine Ridge, not to mention that Leonard did not get a fair trial given that evidence was suppressed along with false statements by witnesses who have recanted their testimony saying they were coerced. Justice should be served all these years later and Leonard should be freed.
This is the right thing to do, and would be so important to turn the tide in the way we incoming settlers have treated native Americans.

Please release Leonard Peltier.
Free Leanard Peltier
Please
About 40 years late!
You are his last chance
Free Leonard!!!
Please free this innocent man!
He should live the years he has left FREE outside of the prison system.
This is without question the moral and just thing to do! I voted for you. Let this man go free!
It is time.
Free Peltier . His incarceration is disgraceful and illegal.
Clemency now for Leonard. It is about forgiveness of ourselves and our brothers NOT business as usual. It is about love.
Please Sir...Do the right thing...
Free that innocent man, the evident they have does not support a guilty verdict and never did. Lets finally get it right, befor that innocent man pass away.
Truth and justice are at stake Mr. Obama. If left incarcerated, Leonard Peltier's imprisonment will poison our freedom. Think about that. Plus you might like to do something significant before Trump takes your house!
Thank you for your service mr. President but with all due respect; enough is enough our government officials are not above the law. Considering the culture arising in the near future this is a fact that better than anyone else in our nation you are painfully aware of.
It's time for justice.
It is time to right this wrong and let Leonard out of prison, please.
Have the courage to do the right thing--if you don't Mr. Peltier will die in prison. Thanks.
Please free Leonard before Donald Trump becomes President!
You have proof he is innocent so free him.
End your presidency on a historical high note. This is one of the many issues i am concerned about as a citizen of the united states. Leonard Peltier was wrongly convicted and does not deserve to be in jail any longer. I believed in your hope when you first ran for president, and have been disappointed many times by your decisions. This is a decision you can make as you leave office that will help galvanize the progressive movement desperately needed to save this country from right wing attacks.
it's a disgrace this man is still in prison. please exonerate him.
Free Leonard Peltier
From the research I have done. Ballistics tests were manufactured and there was no conclusive evidence that Mr. Peltier's weapon was the one that killed the FBI agents in the case. He has done 40 plus years of an unjust sentence.
It is way past time to free Peltier. In fact, he should not have been in prison in the first place.

It's never too late to do the right thing.
It is time. Free this man.
It's christmas, show the world that you're real christian. Free an innocent man. Free Leonard Peltier
Long overdue
This is a great injustice. Let this man go free.
The most essential Pardon to be granted EVER!
It's about tucking fine ..
Please allow Leonard Peltier to live his final years as a free man. He was framed for protecting and defending his community
A Freedom fighter incarcerated for decades A wrong has to be addressed . Clemency for Lenard Peltier. Mr . President you the power now before the darkness falls on our country.
Mr. Peltier did not receive a fair trial. I believe he is innocent. I strongly urge you to grant him clemency before you leave office.
please give mr.peltier clemency for the rediculous charges placed on him. stan and colette crowe westfield vermont.
It is simply the right thing to do!
This is the only just thing to do. Free peltier
chile, Afghanistan, Iraq, snowden, peltier, etc etc ad infinitum.
I believe Leonard to be wrongfully imprisoned
free an innocent man and strike a blow against the FBI's unlawful abuse of U.S. citizenry.
The evidence indicates that Leonard Peltier is innocent of the charges for which he was convicted. Regardless, he has served a lengthy term in prison and should be released!
All evidence shows Leonard Peltier is innocent of the charges which has kept him in prison for 40 years. Please grant him the freedom that he deserves. I believe he is entitled to compensation for being wrongfully convicted.
"[E]nough is enough, Mr. President. Do the right thing. Grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier right away."
There is no justice when facts are manufactured in order to convict.
"Remember your humanity and forget the rest..." This man is your cousin. Please set him free.
Please free Leonard Peltier President Obama He has done his time Thank you so much!
Hes done his time, change the world by letting innocent people free
average length of imprisonment served for homicide in the United States ranged from 94 to 99.8 months (about 8 years) prior to being released on parole per DOJ stats
Leonard Peltier's ongoing incarceration is a black mark on American values and rule by law, an ugly reminder of a time when U.S. law enforcement agencies operated out of control, taking the law in their own hands. Like Leonard, I too was a victim of FBI COINTELPRO, an outrageous frame-up of an anti-war underground newspaper editor, but I had the good fortune to have conviction and sentence overturned by a fair-minded federal appeals court in 1970. Unlike Leonard, I was white and a student. When will America justice catch up with the Bill of Rights and deliver a single fair standard of prosecutorial and judicial conduct in regard for all citizens, regardless of race, class, or gender? Executive clemency for Leonard Peltier, a political prisoner for more than 42 years, would be a great place to start.
HE HAS SUFFERED TOO MUCH!
Who is Tonto ?!!
I surely hope President Obama gives him clemency
I believe our government, and the FBI felt they needed to convict someone for the murders of the agents. They used Lennard as the scapegoat, hide much of the documentation that would prove his innocents. For a country that calls itself as a "free" country it still controls the original people. Our history proves this. It is time to grant clemency for Leonard Peltier, and let this man return to his family... to live out the rest of his years.
clemency is the right thing to do.
Free Leonard Peltier Now! Thank You!!!!
Obama - Stand your ground for Justice It is sacred. Please fee Leonard Peltier
American genocide against the Indians continues with his false imprisonment
Please pardon Leonard Peltier. You can undo a great injustice and grant this man his freedom he deserves.
This man has served enough time please release him
Free Leonard Peltier
It is time to release him; the humane and right action to do.
The letter speaks for itself. The elders requested youth to protect them the beatings, killings, and harassment from the FBI and the GOONS. Others who were charged were acquitted at their trials, but the FBI was going to make some Indian pay innocent or not. My Presidents says he believes in the sense of fairness. Were is the fairness in Leonard's trial and conviction? President Obama, Leonard needs your sense of Fairness as well as the Indian Nations. Let Leonard go home to his family and people Begin the reconciliation.
It is time to set him free
A review by an unbiased eye would conclude that he's been kept in prison (all his adult life) after the sketchiest of trials. Shame! Act, Mr. Obama!
I've written to Obama, and I'm writing to the NY Times.
You are running out of time to do the right thing. Free Leonard now.
enough is enough already
Let my people go
Please do the right thing: Grant clemency for Leonard Peltier!
We can't have hope w/o a fair justice system.
Justice for an innocent man whom happens to be a Native American activist like Standing Rock is now. Please free Leonard before you leave office, President Obama!!!
Please grant clemency for Leonard Peltier
People who kill get out after 6 years.Why do you keep an inocent person in prison for life? Let him out.
Meaningfulness needs to be affirmed in significant ways, as does justice and freedom. The case for this man's clemency is too clear to be stonewalled for even one more minute. Please free Leonard Peltier.
The many injustices suffered by our people over the past centuries will be the legacy of this nation forever. "The white man does not understand; his appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert. This we know: The Earth does not belong to Man; Man belongs to the Earth." ----Chief Seattle Ho.
His arrest has gone on long enough. It is time for him to be released and returned to his people.
Thank you for freeing this man.
Mr. Peltier has been imprisoned long enough ... President Obama ... please award this man clemency.
Please keep up the work to Free Peltier and others who are innocent warriors for their community! Thank you! I'm writing my letter to the president now.
Let his freedom be your legacy after 40 years.
Please Mr. Obama, before leaving office do the right thing and set this innocent man free. The wrong committed against him has the Universe weeping.
Let him go home to be with his family.
Please. Let's do the right thing.
You have the power to reconcile this injustice.
Your administration has worked hard to address concerns of the Native American community. What better way to end your term in office than to emphasize your commitment to justice for this community than to grant this long-standing call for the release of Leonard Peltier.
It's just about Time!
In your acceptance speech you called for an 'Era of Responsibility'. Please remember these words and be the one to step up to the plate for Leonard Peltier. The entire world thanks you.
end this disgrace
Let this honorable and innocent man spend his remaining days with his family. Please.
Please! !!! Leonard has spent more time in prison (for something he assuredly did NOT do) than Nelson Mandala. This is not right. Please, free Leonard Peltier
Time to free this man who was just trying to defend his beliefs.
This has been going on much too Let the man go !!!!!
Please prevent one more miscarriage of justice -- free a man who never should have been incarcerated in the first place.
i believe standing rock and a new treaty for the native american indians is in order. lets hope trump will be a president for all the american people.
✌
it is imperative that this freedom fighter and representative of first nation sovereignty be granted clemency by President Barak Obama. do the right thing -- it can't wait.
FREE LEONARD!!!!!!
HE IS INNOCENT !!! Stop the abuse and continued genocidal legal racism against native peoples. He is a symbol for all that is wrong regarding the U.S. governments relationship with the native peoples of this land. It's a total pity that it has gone on this long -- enough torture is enough!!! PLEASE OVERCOME YOUR IDEOLOGICAL BIAS TOWARDS SO-CALLED POLITICAL PRISONERS !!! In any other free democratic country Peltier would have been freed a long time ago regardless of innocence. It would be a real shame if this man dies behind bars. OBAMA IS OUR ONLY HOPE!! PLEASE RELEASE AND FREE LEONARD PELTIER!!! PARDON OR EXONERATE!!!
He was framed by the FBI, is now in poor health, and has spent more time incarcerated than did Nelson Mandela. Mr. Peltier MUST BE FREED NOW. President Obama, YES YOU CAN, AND NOW!!!
Please free this man. He has served his time and than more. We have no hope with Trump coming in. You are our last hope.
My veteran Uncle Percy Casper knew this man I truly believe he should be free.
Any man thats been locked up over 40 years needs to come home. Health Condition, hes over 70 years old and health reasons you know.
It is past time to free Leonard.
Leonard Peltier should be released and set free to go home to his family and live the rest of his life in peace.
I pray we touch the heart and mind of President Obama. He feels our sincerity in this matter, and releases Leonard from prison. He deserves to be free, please do the right thing. All my relations.
This man has been held on specious evidence to make him a scapegoat in the on-going war against American Indians. and it's way past time to release him to his family. Don't scapegoat Peltier. Release him or SHOW EVIDENCE that LEAVES NO DOUBT.
Pres. Obama, Yes you can. Heal the sacred circle. Free Leonard Peltier.
Release this political prisoner who did not harm his fellow citizens.
Free this man!
This would be a gesture of justice more than a gesture of clemency. Please free Leonard now.
Time to have real justice! Yes you can! Free Leonard Peltier,
Freedom is a right to ALL. To many good men woman and children have died or locked away due to ignorant and down right unlawful actions of people in power. Free our brother!
FREE LEONARD PELTIER!! HE HAS SERVED HIS TIME
This is long overdue; and the evidence his incarceration was unjust .... is well beyond ....clear & convincing
Leonard Peltier deserves to go free. Please pardon him, he should never have been imprisoned in the first place. Are ALL treaty's with American Natives going to be broken? FREE the man, please, asap. Thank you.
Time that you loved
time served ...clemency
Like voter suppression, justice suppression vitiates democracy. Free Peltier and strengthen democracy.
A'Ho
Mr Peltier has suffered enough for a crime that was not proven.
Please...it has been too long...you know he is innocent...the planet needs our native elders...esp now... Compassion...mercy...clemency..
Please free this man who does not deserve to be in prison any longer. Acto now before he is stuck there for his entire life which would be a tragedy for all involved.
Thank you!!!!
Mr. President, you are this man's last best hope for justice. He is an old man and time is running out. In these final days, please help a brotha out. Don't let him die in prison for a crime he did not commit.
It takes many minds to move closer to truth. never give up
Convicted with shaky evidence and unreliable witnesses, this man has spent 40 (Forty) years in prison. With failing health and without justice and your Clemency, he will die in prison.
FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
Due process has not worked for this man. Why not? Due process is a right granted by our court system, a the blood of soldiers that have fought and died for this country. To deny this man proper due process is a crime. A crime against humanity, our American citizens. You need the proper evidence to lock a man up. You dont just lock him up because of the color of his skin or that you are just mad with him. This shows an abuse of power and authority. This is why no one wants to help the police or even listen to them. What an injustice. Would this had happened if he was a whiteman.
As a man who is more than 70 years old, I am a contemporary of Mr. Peltier. He has more than paid the price and now deserves rehabilitation and release. Please grant him executive clemency immediately.
Just do this. It is just.
You are Leonard Peltier's last hope--to begin to show that the US government acknowledges that its mistakes have human consequences! Make a small difference to an aging Native man who will not have any chance in the future to be released. Please Try!
This brave man has been the victim of racially-biased law enforcement and judicial ignorance for far too long. Please allow him the dignity to end his life unshackled.
"...with liberty and justice for all."
When the real facts, not the manufactured facts, are reviewed, there is only one choice in the name of Justice: Free Leonard Peltier!
I beg you, Mr. President, free Leonard Peltier from this unjust sentence. You will again prove what we all know, that you are the greatest of Presidents and friend to Native Americans. This act will cause First Nations peoples to flock to the Democratic Party and to fight for what is good and just in the US. Again, I beg you to grant clemency and free this unjustly accused America Citizen.
Please. Please. PLEASE. He's dying. If you don't free him, he will NEVER see his daughter or family again. He never should have been put away.
Requesting clemency. Enough is enough. Release Peltier so the healing of this country can continue
Enough.
Please, Mr. President. This man suffers for no reason. Make us a more perfect Union. Thank you for your service
Free Peltier.
Innocent untill proven guilty should be reason enough. Over40 years unjust incarceration as a political pawn
Free the man who was sentenced for protecting his land and his people from tyranny.
A great man has been wrongly and unjustly imprisoned and has given most of his life to right wrongs and serve his people. The one thing left for his government to do is to grant him his freedom.
I have followed Leonard Peltier's case for decades. He should be released!
Leonard deserves to set free as he did nothing more than protect his family
LEONARD IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF ALL ACTIONS YOU CAN DO FOR NATIVE INDIGENOUS NATIONS AS YOU COMPLETE YOUR TERM OF SERVICE
New Mexico/Retired Navy for a free Peltier.
Please Please Please, consider releasing Leonard Peltier, his health is not good at all. Thank you so much!
i remember what happened to him and he should be freed
Right this wrong it is long overdue .
Leonard Peltier should be granted clemency now. He was unfairly tried and I believe he is innocent and has served far too long.
The time is now. It's been to long.
I've been following this case for over three decades, and it is an absolute travesty that Peltier was ever sent to prison in the first place. Peltier doesn't deserve clemency; he deserves a pardon, and the corrupt agents and prosecutors who lied under oath years ago should be jailed!!!
Its time. Please free Peltier
Please help bring real justice to a people who have been subjected to an American genocide for generations. We all know Mr Peltier was not given a fair trial. He has served enough of our injustice. Thank you!
I supported the Canadian Leonard Defence Comiittees advocacy efforts in the late 1990's back in Toronto. I am part native myself. Praying acting president Obama will finally do the humanitarian just thing and pardon this poor victim of the American "injustice" system?.. Thank-you.
It's been too long already. Right this wrong!
free Leonard Peltier
I am a youth minister who spent 6 years involved in Native American ministry on reservations and cities in NE and SD, including work for peace and justice on Pine Ridge. I am highly concerned both for the evidence of injustices in Leonard's original trial, and of the immediate health complications and lack of care he is experiencing in prison. For these reasons, and his decades of work for peace and justice from within prison, I believe he deserves clemency and that this is, indeed likely his last chance. Thank you for considering my thoughts, and my prayers are with you and your family as you finish your term.
Free Peltier Now!!!
I agree fully that Mr. Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for 41 years contrary to natural justice. His case was flawed and I believe that the appeals process was also. President Obama should as a last act of his presidency give clemency to this man who should not be behind bars. Native Americans have suffered from racism, theft, murder and so much more from the United States - clemency would be a small gesture of trying to make amends for this history.
Dear Mr. President, Please provide clemency for Leonard Peltier. Due to his unlawful trial and failing health. I truly believe in his innocence. Thank you, Joseph Cubow
Please do the right thing and free Leonard Peltier!
free Peltier now
Innocent but imprisoned for 40 years. Free him.
Dear Mr. President, Please grant Leonard Peltier his freedom in the final hours of our presidency. You will free an innocent man.
Executive clemency for Leonard Peltier is long past due. PLEASE do the right thing now before you leave office.
Please free Mt. Pletier before you leave office.
Just as you understood the valid reasons for granting Chelsea Manning clemancy, please use the same logic to give Leonard Peltier the gift of living his final days as a free man. Thank you for giving this notorious case the benefit of common sense.
It is far past the time to release Mr.Peltier.
It appears clemency for Mr. Peltier is past due and he is not a risk to the public. He has been imprisoned for a lifetime. Please ......
Leonard Peltier is ill. This is probably his last chance to return to his family to live out his final days. Please commute his sentence, Pres. Obama.
This is not a case of Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Please consider the facts suppressed, as well as the FBI agent who is advocating for Leonard Pelitier's freedom. The time for his FREEDOM is LONG overdue!
Mr. Peltier was railroaded, just as the DC regime claims its enemy nations does to their citizens. This gross injustice has gone on far too long; Leonard Peltier must be released immediately.
This is long overdue.
please check the case of this man this is his land before you called most of his people 'SPANISH' now he has committed "NO' crime he has killed no one.
It seems like EVERYONE in the World has signed on to numerous petitions to have this innocent man released... I am among the least important but my signature is my voice and I want to make sure its loud and clear.... Free Leonard Peltier Mr President..
Urging clemency.~ Please free Leonard Peltier now! http://www.alternet.org/activism/free-leonard-peltier
The more I hear about this case the more concerned I get about how the courts mishandled it. As a defense attorney I support post-conviction relief only where appropriate, and I feel it is appropriate. Thank you for listening.
It is just to free Leonard Pletier !!!
It's time that this tragedy ends! Free Leonard now!
Please grant clemency to Leonard Peltier. Please show him mercy and wisdom.
Please, do what you know in your heart is right.
I support my Native and Non Native Brothers and Sisters in full clemency without prejudice for Mr. Leonard Peltier.
Free my people Free Leo
PLEASE free Leonard Peltier. PLEASE
Free Lenard Peltier! !!
Commute Peltier's sentence now. He has been in jail long enough.
President Obama -- I know you are going to do this on your last day in office as a grand finale. Please, we all await this step in the direction of justice. Yes you/we can. Sustain us for the struggles ahead -- do the right thing and give us hope.
Please Dear Mr. President Obama grant Executive Clemency for Leonard Peltier. God Bless You.
He has done enough time.
Please don't leave Leonard Peltier to die in prison. Please grant him Executive Clemency. Thank you.
Free Leonard Peltier.
One more hopeful voice for the freedom of this human.
Please, President Obama, give clemency to Mr. Pelitier
Free Leonard Peltier..please do the right thing!
He has suffered for too long. Please grant Leonard his freedom.
Freedom is long overdue!
Please free this innocent man! He has paid enough for a crime that he didnt commit and he is very ill. He is NOT a threat to society.
Do the right thing.
No doubt this man earns at least a new trial, where his most likely innocence can be proven.
This does seem a series of particularly dirty tricks by the powers that prosecute. The result: nearly 15,000 days in jail without compelling evidence of guilt. Give this man his freedom. He has paid more than enough.
This is again a proof of racial justice if President Obama (still president) gives pardon to a white army man(now woman) for exposing information they want to keep under the carpet BUT IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE PARDON FOR AN NATIVE AMERICAN THAT FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM AND BASIC RIGHTS OF HIS PEOPLE. WELL JOHN TRUDELL WILL TURN IN HIS GRAVE FOR SURE!! RACIST SOCIETY WITH LAWS CORRESPONDING TO YOUR SKIN COULOUR AND ORIGINE. THEY ALL FORGOT THAT THE NATIVE AMERICANS WHERE THE FIRST NATION, TRUE HABITANTS OF THAT COUNTRY NOT THE INVADERS FROM EVERYWHERE. Well Obama has still a little time to right the wrongdoing. Mieke
There is no conclusive evidence that Mr. Peltier committed acts of murder. Ballistics studies were withheld from the trial - which is nothing short of pinning the blame on an innocent man and allowing scapegoating to overrule justice!
I am signing this petition because the US is guilty of serious human rights violations. Because this fictitious judgment, which led to the arrest of Leonard Peltier, must be revised. Because he can not continue to be a prisoner of conscience, he needs appropriate medical treatment ..... and much more. I miss the words, what happens and happened ... Free Leonard Peltier !!!!
The only crime here is the incarceration.
This appears to be a sad and disgraceful case where the authorities invented evidence and generally abused their power. Justice could and should be done, even at this late hour.
Dear President Obama, Please do the right thing in this case . Free Leonard Peltier. John Slivon
Free this deserving man at long last
Free Leonard now
This is horrible - no clemency! If Obama wouldn't pardon him, he's doomed.
He is innocent and was convicted under false pretenses! Peltier is receiving unfair treatment in prison, serving 40 years based on a sentence of proven coerced testimony. His original prosecutor(James Reynolds) has called out for his clemency after receiving more accurate evidence. He has managed to continue philanthropic programs even behind bars. Please let this innocent political prisoner go home so he can receive proper medical care and have a quality end to his tortured life.
President Obama, please pardon Leonard Peltier. It's his last chance to live the last few years of his life in the free world. If you don't he will die in prison. His only crime was defending his people. He didn't shoot anyone. He was just there. I applaud your release of Lopez Rivera and Chelsea Manning. Please show the same empathy and compassion for an aging warrior.
Pardon--Time served!!!
Please pardon him. Please grant him mercy now!!!
It is absurd that the fear of the US president to recognise the injustice against Leonard Peltier and his identity as an Native American prevents the release of this innocent man.The fear is the fear of having to be accountable for the genocide against him and his people. The US president should and must understand it is never too late to live and love the truth. He is truly the last of the mohicans who cannot harm you. We implore you to release him as an act of faith and fearlessness. Thank you for ending this hypnosis that has released an innocent man from jail.
FREEDOM NOW!
I don't believe that Leonard Peltier had a fair trial or that justice has been served. Surely 40 years is more than enough considering the uncertainty surrounding his guilt and the failure to introduce evidence that could exonerate him. It's absolutely time to free Leonard Peltier. Please, President Obama, his life is in your hands, and the sand has almost run through the hour glass...Do the right thing.
Even the Pope & the prosecutor say he should be freed!!! Please free Mr. Peltier before it's too late!
It is unjust that this man is still in prison for a crime never proven he committed. Release him now please.
He should be freed
I am very sad and outraged that Leonard Peltier can't return to his people. And I wonder why FBI agents were on that rez for a pair of stolen boats? For years more then a decade this is the shame of the US. Now Obama has left Leonard to die...so thats beyond words to decribe how I feel Much strenght and power to Leonard,his family,loved ones to carry this injustice
Leonard Peltier should be freed!
Please do this, it is the right thing to do and sends the right message to so many that have lost hope for our country.
Justice was truly blind. This man was wrongly convicted. Please set him free
mon cœur est meurtri et pleure - mais je veux continuer à croire qu'il existe encore sur cette terre des personnes justes et vraies et qui oeuvrent pour la vérité - je prie pour vous - que Dieu vous aide et vous accompagne dans ce combat - tendre affection
What a horrible and absurd injustice . Leonard should be released and in front of him to apologize and compensate for his sufferings !
Free Perrier & stop u.s. disgrace & genocide of our precious survivors
Il n'y a pas plus légitime que la cause amérindienne! C'est un mélange de tristesse et de rage qui m'envahit que je ne sais comment exprimer et mettre les mots adaptés à cette situation des plus honteuses que vit Léonard Peltier! Free Léonard! Son combat est aussi le nôtre ainsi qu'à tout les peuples autochtones qui ont subi depuis des siècles la folie de dirigeants capitalistes qui détiennent le monde et font mal à des peuples entiers ainsi qu'à cette terre sans laquelle nous serions rien! Si vous avez un tant soit peu d'humanité,je vous en prie,libérez Léonard Peltier!!!!!
Free Lenard pelletier .
Free Leonard Peltier
Do not keep this innocent man imprisoned any longer. Let him spend the rest of his days free ,with his family!
Free this man! For all to see & admire we want him free.
Free Peltier ! Stop INJUSTICE !
He’s old and sick .... it’s time.
cette mort lente derrière des barreaux n'est pas digne de notre humanité. Mr Trump, faites ce que vos prédécesseurs ont été incapables de faire: rendre la liberté à Mr Peltier prouvera la vôtre.
Monsieur le Président, veuillez libérer Léonard PELTIER. MERCI

THIS I ASK OF U. THANK U LOVE U ELDER
Qu'elle honte, la présomption d innocence n a pas l air d exister aux USA. Accordez lui au moins le droit de mourir en homme libre auprès des siens
Qu'est-ce qui fait si peur aux Etats Unis d'Amérique pour retenir aussi longtemps quelqu'un dont on a prouvé l'innocence pour les faits qui lui sont reprochés? Pourquoi les peuples indiens sont-ils si ignorés de la justice? Ce mot n'a t-il plus de sens?
Monsieur le Président Joe Biden, lors de votre campagne vous vous êtes prononcé contre la peine de mort. je vous demande de libérer Léonard Peltier au nom de votre parole, au nom de mes frères et sœurs en humanité. Ne nous condamnez pas à la désespérance !
100 % FREE LEONARD PELTIER A'HO amitiés et soutien de France
J'aurais aimé faire parti d'un peuple aussi noble. Merci d'exister.
Libérer un innocent, dont le seul crime est d'être ce qu'il est.
Honte à votre « démocratie » pour cet enfermement à vie. Honte à votre « justice » pour refuser une grâce.
Free léonard peltier please.
This is a FBI revenge imprisonment. FREE LEONARD PELTIER!!
Leonard Peltier is an innocent man who is unjustly and illegally held in prison. He deserves to live the rest of his life with family, friends, and supporters who live him. Thank you.
