What have you done for Peltier Today ... is basically a reminder and challenge to everyone that while we sometimes complain about the price of gas to drive to a ceremony, my brother Leonard cannot have the luxury of dealing with everyday problems. The reality of fuel being $2 more than it was five years ago is cause for concern, but how many of us truly express our concern for Peltier? Have we scraped the "Free Leonard Peltier" bumper sticker off our vehicles and do our copies of "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse" and "Incident at Oglala" sit in a box somewhere? If this is what some people have done, then Leonard does not exist in their state of mind. And I would like to see this change. Maybe I see the 30 plus-year campaign to free Leonard differently based upon my experiences.
