Contact congressional delegates. Schedule
a meeting to talk with them about Leonard’s case. This is your opportunity
to urge them to take a position
on Leonard’s release. Seize the opportunity
to educate members of Congress
who may not know the specifics of the case or even about Leonard Peltier.
Meet with those who are sitting on the fence. Others who are long-time
supporters need to be asked to become Leonard’s
champions in this important year.
You might want to frame your request for a meeting with a phrase similar
to “How may we work together to seek
justice for Native Americans?
How may I help you in your role as a leader?” Then
ASK your representative, along
with his colleagues, to write a personal letter to President Obama urging
the immediate release of Leonard Peltier.

time, the agents who have opposed Leonard’s bid for freedom will
fail,
because the lies will not be covered up or twisted. They are afraid Obama
will do the right thing, so join us in setting this prairie fire for
Leonard for the last time! He doesn’t

have
none to waste.
anyone dare let their hearts hit the ground because we have to work harder
to get him out after his birthday. The most powerful means of accomplishing
our goal is to know in your heart that this will happen. And if we get
some good news, such as a transfer, don’t
let up. Instead, increase your efforts
and never stop believing you will
be a part of something wonderful and honorable.

letter is among millions that have been written to US presidents on behalf
of Leonard Peltier in the past 36 years of his incarceration. Foreign
heads of state and world religious leaders, members of Congress and even
a federal judge who was hamstrung by legal precedents have asked for
clemency in Peltier's case.
families, but a even greater tragedy is being done to Mr. Peltier, who
has been nominated for the Nobel prize six times for his humanitarian
works from behind prison walls.
an American citizen, my conscience has been haunted by the inability
of previous administrations to do the right thing and let Peltier go
home. When I look at the trial as a whole, there is shocking information
about FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in his case. What happened, Mr.
President, that an American, an American Indian at that, can languish
in a federal prison for so long without a real look at what happened
to him?
have been aware that some federal agents have been actively undermining
Mr. Peltier's efforts for years. They have lied about the evidence and
testimony, and ignore evidence to the contrary in their statements to
keep Mr. Peltier imprisoned. Attorney General Janet Reno reprimanded
FBI Director Freeh for voicing his complaint publicly.
President, we ask that you please take a very detailed review of Mr.
Peltier's cases, including the withheld FBI records supposedly classified
for national security reasons, inquire about his transfer to a medium
security facility that meets his classification, and grant clemency.
Mr. Peltier also is eligible for a parole under a 30 year law, but has
not been granted this according to 28 U.S.C., section 4206(d).
us felt we were granted a fresh of breath air, and through this we hope
that you will grant Mr. Peltier a breath of fresh free air. I'm sure you
will see the world rejoice.
for
FREEDOM!!!!

Watermelon Basketballs, Gold Chains & Old Spice Swagger

Charles Lowman of NuVibe Radio joins us tonight to discuss the Syrius Institute of Learning - Dominican Republic which is seeking "to provide supplemental education to under-privileged children and to promote sustainability through adult education programs.". If you would like to contribute to this fund raising campaign you can find it on indiegogo where you will receive a thank you gift tailored to your contribution.
What does Watermelon Basketballs and Gold Chains have to do with deodorant? The Black Talk Media Project is asking that question. We expected suspected racist white people to defend the Old Spice commercial which aired during the NBA Finals last night but while not surprising, African-AMERICANS are failing to recognize the racial undertones of the not only the commercial but its placement.
In political news, a recent SCOTUS case resulted in the further erosion of so-called "civil rights". The US Supreme Court has ruled in a 5-4 decision in the case Salinas v. Texas, that your right to remain silent can be used against you in a criminal trial should you be charged with the crime for which you are being questioned by police. Texas Prosecutors in the case argued that Salinas’ silence during a police interview prior to his arrest was a “very important piece of evidence” and that only a guilty person would have remained silent when questioned about his connection to a crime. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion that Salinas “was required to assert the privilege in order to benefit from it,” even though a person questioned while under arrest could not have his silence used against him.

Tonight we will be joined by Mr. J. Jondhi Harrell and Mr. Glenn Davis from "Decarcerate PA" which back in May held a march in Pennsylvania to demand a people's budget that invests in communities and not prisons. Judging from the participation in the march, it was successful in raising public awareness about 21st Century Slavery and Human Trafficking.
"Decarcerate PA is a grassroots campaign working to end mass incarceration in Pennsylvania. We demand that PA stop building prisons, reduce the prison population, and reinvest money in our communities."
After we speak with Mr. Harrell and Mr. Davis we will share some of the latest news related to 21st Century Slave and Human Trafficking and open the phone lines for a general discussion on the issue.

World Star Hip-Hop has built a media platform that has become a clearinghouse for the worst of “Urban America” according to a recent Change.org petition created by Supreme Understanding of Supreme Design Publishing.
The petition says, "There are some things that we all should know are wrong. Things like sexually exploiting minors or the mentally ill. The administrators of WorldStarHipHop.com apparently do not share these standards of human decency."
Supreme Understanding will join us tonight along with Scotty Reid of the Black Talk Media Project and members of the Militant Mind Movement on Militant Minded Radio to discuss this issue and why the Black community should be involved in this campaign to stop the exploitation of our most vulnerable people.

It looks like the US could get pulled into another non-declared war launched by the executive branch that could cost the American tax payers billions in a no win situation for the American people. Members of the Obama administration have been pushing language with the help of pro-war members of the Senate that sounds strikingly similar to that used to justify invading Iraq, which we now know were lies about weapons of mass destruction and mushroom clouds. CIA analyst Ray McGovern compared it to President Bush's Axis of Evil Speech to congress.
Former French foreign minister Roland Dumas in a recent interview with French Parliamentary TV network, LCP that Britain had been planning a war against Syria some two years before the unrest broke out in the Arab country.
“I’m going to tell you something. I was in England two years before the violence in Syria on other business. I met with top British officials, who confessed to me that they were preparing something in Syria, this was in Britain not in America. Britain was organizing an invasion of rebels into Syria. They even asked me, although I was no longer minister for foreign affairs, if I would like to participate.” - Roland Dumas
Last night ABC reported news about 711 store franchise owners running a human trafficking/slavery scheme forcing workers to work for very little pay and keeping them locked up and/or scared of being deported back to Pakistan because their visas had expired. However, if this was able to go on so long involving people from a country the US is waging war in with drone strikes, how effective is the government's domestic spying programs?
