Hi All,

A small sort of contest begins tomorrow, in which
people will attempt to put a series of numbers into
prominant places. The numbers, #89637-132, are the
prison number of Leonard Peltier, the American Indian
Activist imprisoned on false charges for decades.

Just like the christian guy in the football stadiums
and 12 Galaxies man, who get in every photograph they
possibly can, start looking for #89637-132 everywhere.
The prize is a simple $100 to the person who can get
it in the most prominant spot by January of next year,
but the real winner will be Leonard, when we get him
out.

My Best,
 David Grace

Dear friends, allies, and supporters of Leonard
Peltier, 

Many of you contact us with very creative ideas on how
to get Leonard's story out and win the hearts of the
people. In an effort to truly make this a collective
struggle, from time to time, we will feature your
ideas and your stories. This is one of those cases.
Each of you has a story on how you got involved on
Leonard's case and why you still stand firm by him
when so many have come and gone. Gerry Foley's story
comes from the heart and that's how it's touched us.
He is 58 and lives in Liverpool, UK. He describes
himself as an Irish Scouse socialist. He says he was
told by his parents that the Native Americans suffered
the same as the Irish, that the Irish are the European
Indians, starved, poisoned, thrown off their land,
their language banned. He adds I want to see Leonard
free before I die, I always had 100% support from my
wife, whom I lost in April, she won't let me go to her
until Leonard is free. 

LEONARDS PRISONER NUMBER PHOTO CONTEST 

Gerry Foley has proposed a campaign to get Leonards
prisoner number out in public places/events covered by
the media, like sports matches, public celebrations
etc. He has started a contest for the best/most
ingenious display of Leonards number. Every entry will
receive a special key ring and the winner, to be
decided January 2006, will get U$ 100, and the photo
will be posted on our official website. Send your
photos via e-mail to [1]ghostshirt2003@yahoo.co.uk

que luchan toda la vida y esos son los indispensables.
