We are also calling for a 24 - Hour, World Wide Birthday Vigil on September 11th , beginning at 8:45 AM through September 12th , 2009
Leonard Peltier has reached International celebrity, based upon critical questions surrounding his conviction in 1977 in the deaths of two FBI agents. Amnesty International has designated Peltier, as a Political Prisoner in which a U.S. prosecutor has admitted in court during an appeal hearing that he did not know who killed the agents and cannot prove who did. A federal judge who heard this statement was unable to afford any relief, wrote a letter to Sen. Inouye to ask the President to grant Clemency.

If anyone has heard from Ben in the last 24 hrs, Please contact Michelle Red Elk or Neyom Friday. mimiredelk@gamil.com. We are hearing that there is a health concern.
We have spoken with Ben and his indurance, dedication and tenacity are amazing. Please offer prayers for him, for those who support his action and for Leonard peltier.
There will be a prayer vigil in Lafayette park (Across from the White House DC ) tomorrow morning starting at 8:45 est. Ben says he expects a large supporter turnout and will attract the media's attention.
