Dear President Barack Obama
Remember, remember that day in November, the 5th, 2009, when "we the people", "all of us", were also heard, voices and skins, prayers & opinions, loud and proud, feet on the ground ... we will not quit, we will not go away. The Ancestors and those yet born ask no less, what do we ask of ourselves?
Inside the DOI you heard from 564 invited Native Americans about their issues and concerns on Indigenous Rights for Native Americans.
Outside the DOI you saw and heard, as you drove by, the uninvited Native Americans, voicing their issues and concerns in a peaceful and prayerfull way. Organizing for Native American Indigenous Rights is difficult in a fractured community ... but it will grow as yours has done ... please consider this as your invitation to join this movement.
May I offer a suggestion, grant 'executive clemency' for Leonard Peltier and the community ( 2-5 million strong ) will begin to listen with open hearts and believe - hope. It is in your hands to do the right thing. Review the facts, question evidence, talk to Leonard and you also will begin to question the "justice" in his case. You can do something about it. Please try.
I await your reply to my sincere request,
Larry Monterey, Eagleheart
