Urgent Call to Action!
============================================================
This
week -- writing in support of the plan by the Judiciary Committee of
the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate the misuse of
informants by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) -- the Peltier
attorneys submitted a position paper and a formal request to Congress
proposing that they complete the work undertaken by the Church
Committee in the 1970s. This would include investigation of the FBI's
misuse of not only informants, but agent provocateurs against the
American Indian Movement (AIM); the Bureau's role in the "Reign of
Terror" at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from 1973-1976; and
official misconduct against AIM, in general, and in the case against
Leonard Peltier, in particular.

"These white people think this country belongs to them -
they don't realize that they are only in charge right now
because there's more of them than there are of us. The
whole country changed with only a handful of raggedly-ass
pilgrims that came over here in the 1500s. And it can take
a handful of raggedy-ass Indians to do the same,
and I intend to be one of those raggedy-ass Indians."
