I don't know how many of you know of the case of the Native American political prisoner named Leonard Peltier, but he needs to be freed and theres not much time. It sucks that in 2004 the US still has political prisoners. Isn't that one of the things we are supposed to oppose! for info on his case go to www.freepeltir.org
he's definitely not the only American political prisoner. There's Mumia and others like Huey Newton (who was assasinated). check out www.indymedia.org about the american activist Lori Berenson imprisoned in Peru since 1995. There's been a huge problem with the rightwing powerstructure silencing, railroading, murdering, and otherwise oppressing radical progressives since, well, the Native American slaughter, which goes back to the very beginning, doesn't it.
