Dear Supporters of Justice for John Graham, Anna Mae Aquash and 
Leonard Peltier,

We are in a race with the clock of injustice. John Graham will be 
shipped to South Dakota for a trial that Leonard Peltier says is 
certain to be a miscarriage of justice by July 26, 2007.

Handwritten letters to the people below today will have an impact 
in preventing this. Black Panther Angela Davis said that bags of 
mail going to the judge that presided over her case were more 
important than any legal procedure in getting her acquitted, 
after being framed up on accessory to murder charges and 
imprisoned for two years. Phone calls have the next most impact 
and emails are the weakest.

We are deeply appreciative for your concern,
Friends of John Graham
