Another Medical Alert !
Jul 3, 2009

Medical Alert  on Behalf of the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense
Committee:

"I received a disturbing call from Leonard today.  As we know,
Leonard has had a scare with prostate cancer.  He is now having
blood in his urine and he desperately needs to have an oncologist
examine him. A general practitioner operating in the prison system
is not sufficient; he needs to be seen by a specialist.

Your support with letters and phone calls to the proper officials is
greatly needed at this time.  The urgency is due to his previous
scare of cancer. Only a specialist can determine the state of
his health.  According to his medical he is supposed to receive
an exam every three months, but according to Leonard he has only
been seen once a year.  How can this be? As everyone knows one
examination can give you warning, anyone who has had a prognosis
or scare with prostate cancer, you need to see an oncologist and
be examined regularly.

He has never received proper medical attentions for his medical
problems, unless this problem is addressed by his supporters he
will not get this matter taken care of.  As we found when he did not
have his diabetic supplies last year, until the outcry was so great.
Then they could not deny him.

Please ask the warden at Lewisburg Prison to give Leonard Peltier
the proper medical attention he has the right to.

Warden Bledsoe ~ Warden for Lewisburg Prison The prison number is:
(570) 523-1251
Fax:  570-522-7745
E-mail address: LEW/EXECASSISTANT@BOP.GOV

Lets get him the treatment he deserves.

Time to set him free... Because it is the RIGHT thing to do.

I phoned the prison and could not reach any person in regards to Leonards medical needs!I also tried the e mails and they are not going thru!What is up with this?Leonard is a free spirit,artist,red man,set him free,Our native brother has suffered beyond what any man should!

Songbird not on Bergstrom (372) 		Saturday July 4, 2009, 1:59 pm
As I read this again I have decided to fax the prison instead of phoning them, This way I know they will get it. I will include that all tribes and color and very much aware of his problems and that we want the best for him and that he is our friend and family to us all.

Louise Odams (36) 		Sunday July 5, 2009, 9:51 pm
Thanks Kat - will send emails out right now. Leonard must receive treatment.

Sally D. (69) 		Thursday July 16, 2009, 5:18 pm
Thank You Kat.
I have signed the petition on ipetitions.com - 'Executive Clemency for Leonard Peltier' - Sent to President Barack Obama. I clicked on all the email links, but a message came up saying 'Sory unable to direct you to this page'. I have wrote to the prison before though when Leonard had his suspected heart attack. I think it is such a terrible unforgiveable injustice and this beautiful, peaceful, innocent man has the strength of spirit of a million men. The Great Spirit is protecting and guiding him. My prayers are with him.
SALLY D.

Lets pray for Leonard.

Please pass on my best wishes to Leonard. I'm praying for him.
