    WE have been playing this song and dance for too long! There is no reason why Leonard Peltier should die in prison OR even be in prison!. Adequate healthcare is a RIGHT of ALL people!! The United States denial of political prisoners will not make them go away; the world knows! Denying Leonard Pelitier accessible and adequate care for his medical conditions is akin to torture!! Do what is right! MEDICAL CARE & FREEDOM FOR LEONARD PELTIER NOW!!! In Peace.

    For 30 years our government has refused to free this man. Why would they want to admit their own fault and wrong doings???? He has lost so much and now he cant even recieve the medical care that he needs???? Whats wrong with you people!?!? Does anyone in our Government have the backbone to stand up and do what is RIGHT? Let him go to the Mayo Clinic and FREE this man!

    The United States is promoted as a compassionate country ready to stand up against adversity, willing to examine and amend erroneous mistakes made against political prisoners, demand medical care for them and strive for their freedom. In spite of these claims, Leonard Peltier remains a political prisoner, the evidence that proves his innocence ignored and his medical needs to be at the Mayo Clinic disregarded. During the 2009 White House Tribal Nations Conference, President Obama stated, "I know what it means to feel ignored and forgotten and what it means to struggle," he said. "So you will not be forgotten as long as I'm in this White House." President Obama, that statement is just as valid for Leonard Peltier as it is for all of us First Nations People. Leonard Peltier is a respected Elder, he deserves the quality of medical care available at the Mayo Clinic and he deserves to return home as a free man. Honor your promises, Mr. President and ensure Leonard Peltier medical treatment at the Mayo Clinic and grant this innocent man his freedom.

    This can't be happening. Why treat anyone the way this man is being treated. Let Peltier get medical treatment.

    This man has been tortured for over 30 years for a crime he did not commit... Now, when he is in need of such important medical care, it's time to do the right thing and send him where he can get that care.. Time to make things right!!

    Peltiers medical needs have long been ignored and it is a shame that we have to go to such lengths to get your attention to afford him a basic human right to receive the medical attention he needs. He hs been assigned to the Rochester facility before so that he could receive medical attention at the Mayo Clinic in the past. Do not allow this to continue, nor allow him to remain imprisoned while the evidence of his false convictions have layed before you.

    Even if you CAN'T prove Peltier's imprisonment is just and right, you CAN at least prove you are human!! Do the humane thing and send Peltier to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota so he can get the healthcare that he deserves!!

    Everyone else gets help why not a Native American? If he was of different nationality would it make a difference? Search your hearts those of you who have Native blood running through your veins why be ashamed of who you are that you will not help a brother in need

    Enough is enough. Obama...if you're reading any of these (which I doubt, but here goes anyway) ... read our lips; FREE LEONARD PELTIER. Or at the very least, allow him to be transported to the Mayo clinic to get the medical help he needs. A presidential pardon is within your powers...do the right thing.
