In reply to the discussion: Biden commutes life sentence of Leonard Peltier [View all]soldierant
(8,108 posts)48. I think I'm going to frame this.
I have signed so many petitions to so many Presidents on this, including to Joe. One of the most recent ones was in the form of an editable letter, and I added a paragraph something like "This is such a no-brainer, and so unlike you, I cannot hlep but wonder whether you are even seeing or being told of all these petitions, not to mention calls from religious leaders and Nobel Prize winners." I doubt it helped, but I had to say it.
Now I need to go cry some golden tears.
