DESCRIPTION:Emergency Protest for Leonard Peltier\nFriday, January 23\n11am-1pm\nSan 
 Francisco Federal Building\n\nOn Tuesday, January 20th, Native American 
 political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Leonard Peltier was 
 brutally beaten upon his transfer to Canaan Federal Penitentiary. Many in 
 the Native American community insist that this attack was orchestrated by 
 the FBI to spoil any potential parole or pardon by the new administration 
 of President Obama. \n\nThe FBI has made attempts on Leonard's life before, 
 using similar methods. Over the past few weeks they arranged for his 
 transfer to a lower security facility where he would be more vulnerable to 
 physical assault. Leonard was then attacked on the day of President Obama's 
 inauguration, when news of the incident would likely not make the 
 headlines. Also, it is well known that the FBI is actively seeking support 
 for Leonard's continued imprisonment among influential politicians in the 
 new administration.\n\nThe election of Barack Obama offers a new hope for 
 Leonard's release. The FBI is fully aware of this and fears a more 
 sympathetic attitude from the Democrat controlled government. As Leonard 
 refuses to name his attackers, prison rules classify him as 
 non-cooperative, thereby threatening his good standing as a model prisoner 
 and any potential parole. Prison authorities have placed him in solitary 
 confinement and limited him to one meal a day, which seriously jeopardizes 
 his health due to his diabetes.\n\nNative American people have few symbols 
 that mean more than the life of Leonard Peltier. \n\nDo not let him die in 
 prison. \n\nJoin our protest at the Federal Building in San Francisco 
 tomorrow from 11am-1pm.\n\nWrite to President Obama at change.org and 
 whitehouse.gov\n\nWrite to the prison officials and demand that Leonard 
 Peltier be given the proper medical treatment he needs. Demand his safety 
 and security.\n\n(If you call or write to anyone in the prison system, you 
 will need Leonard's prisoner number which is 
 89637-132.)\n\n------\n\nWarden Ronnie R. Holt, Warden\nUSP-Canaan\nU.S.
