Call to Action: Write, Call and E-mail USP Lewisburg
Demand Leonard's Immediate Transfer to the Mayo Clinic!
The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee urgently calls upon all supporters to consistently and constantly contact USP Lewisburg to demand Leonard Peltier be immediately transferred to the Mayo Clinic for a full medical evaluation and appropriate treatment. As many of you know, Leonard has exhibited symptoms of prostate cancer for over a year. After months of pressure by attorneys, Leonard underwent blood tests in June of 2010. Those results were not made available until early November 2010. A biopsy was indicated which was ordered by a physician and approved by the prison. However, the biopsy has not been performed. The delay in testing, diagnosis, and treatment is unacceptable and constitutes medical neglect.
Please, in contacting USP Lewisburg, refrain from speaking out of anger. Your outrage, disgust and frustration can and should be expressed in a respectful yet forceful manner.
To be clear, we still need to keep the pressure on the White House, so keep making those calls and writing those letters to President Obama.

Failure of the US government to fulfill its mandated responsibility to provide funding to tribes and Alaska villages to develop and implement environmental protection infrastructures.
Backlash from US state governments giving in to the lobbying pressures of industry and corporations against the right of tribes to implement their own water and air quality standards.
Protection of sacred, historical and cultural significant areas.

It was a time when the Bureau of Indian Affairs was called on the carpet as taking money from the reservations revenues (mother earth's milk and honey) and squandering it on governing entity ventures. There BIA governing entity rallied false enforcements abuses against seniors ( Na Kupuna) and their grandchildren. Similar to what happened in Easter Island recently. When the facts were all in of the incident, Leonard was innocent. But, because of the billions of monies that the Bureau of Indian Affairs that makes this entity a golden calf of the Federal Reserve teat.
Are we having similarities here you bet your bottom (okole) and this is serious business. We should not no matter how temping it is decide to have gambling in Hawaii specifically to benefit scholarships for our native Hawaiian children. We already supposedly those that are 50% plus bloodquantum have scholarships embedded in the Department of Hawaiian Homelands program that was clarified in 1998. Will Durant said that "education is a transmission of civilization." Those of us whom took up the torch for education and have been running this torch need to learn to pass the baton.
The correctional facilities in an American institute was created during the Louisiana purchase from it's colonial and national 'thinkers'. It is the extended version of those earlier thinkers designed an 'enforcement componet' to their entity frame work. As much as we may try to understand these connections, one would not phantom these 'thought' process as if it was holy and or unbiased (without humanity) actions upon our civilities. It is a duty by humans and not by robotic algorithums for an automation civilization are with out reasons and human thought processes that, to me, are patterns from stars in the night. It is without human nature or a sense of being if you will.
Leonard Peltier should be given his civil rights to enter the mayo clinic to reserve treatment for prostat cancer.
May he find peaceful and humble means in his transitioning to an institute of treatment.
Not to place my beliefs unto this problem, but it is what I know 'May his eyes be upon this flying egale'.
