	Leonard Peltier zur Unterzeichnung des Hinrichtungsbefehls von Mumia vom 22. Oktober 1999 aus dem Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary

	Greetings friends and supporters, I was shocked and disgusted to hear that Governor Ridge once again signed, last october 13, a new death warrant for Mumia Abu Jamal. I know how Mumia must be feeling right now and I would like to personally say to Mumia: "Please hang in there, brother! The people are doing everything and all that they can to save you". To the people who are fighting for Mumia, as some of you may know, this does not mean the end, because I am sure his attorney, Leonard Weinglass has filed for Habeas Corpus in the Federal Courts. It is you, the people who must put the pressure on to win this case. Speak out! Whithout your support, the Federal Courts will sweep everything under the rug as usual. With Mumia's life at stake, you must react very strongly and swiftly yet with intelligence and control. You must show the world that you are prepared and ready to stop MumiaÆs execution. Because of Mumia's outrageous case and his gifted ability to put into words many of our realities, serious concerns with the justice system, the death penalty, and political prisoners are now on the forefront. We need Mumia to be free so that he can continue to make a difference to change a society, which devalues life, dignity, justice and freedom. United, we will save Mumia... In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, Leonard Peltier
