Peace,

please,please continue to send letters/emails to President Barack
Obama on Mumia's behalf. He is the President of the United States, and
even if he doesn't directly pardon Mumia, he certainly has the power
to initiate an investigation, or other executive action!

Dear President Obama:
 
I am writing to request that you grant an Executive Pardon, or at the
very least, insure that the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal is reviewed by
impartial entities. If you or Mrs. Obama investigate this case,you
will find innumerable instances of judicial misconduct, evidence
tampering and racism. The Governor of Pennsylvania, Edward G. Rendell,
the District Attorney Lynn Abraham, and the Chief Justice of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Ronald D. Castille, all had a part in rail-
roading Mumia. These are the people who are still in power and who
thwart every attempt at justice for Mumia.
 
Mumia is an innocent man. He is a sought after speaker (via audio
tapes) at commencements in prestigious universities and other events.
He is the author of weekly columns and several best-selling books.
Many in the entertainment and educational field have taken up his
cause as they realize the injustice being carried out. It is a
disgrace and a shame that this wonderful man has been incarcerated for
more than thirty years, based on the agenda of those in power.
 
Realizing that you have a platform for Change and Fairness, I appeal
to you and Mrs. Obama to please see that justice is realized in this
case. These are his specifics:

On April 6, the U.S.Supreme Court refused to hearan appeal asking for
a new trial for death row political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, based on
evidence of racist prosecutorial misconduct during his original 1982
trial in Philadelphia. An important aspect of this misconduct is based
on the 1986 Batson issue—a legal decision that says that prospective
jurors cannot be selected or unselected based on their race.
 
In Mumia’s 1982 trial, the white prosecutor used 11 of his 15 strikes
to remove Black jurors from the jury. In the end, Mumia’s case was
tried before a jury of ten whites and two Blacks. On top of the
strikes made by prosecutors, there was also a well-documented culture
of racial discrimination by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office.
 
Please take a few minutes to read, sign and circulate widely the
important letter below to the various departments of the U.S.
government on behalf of defending Mumia’s civil rights, which have
been clearly violated.Only a powerful, international campaign can win
long, overdue freedomfor this outspoken, award-winning journalist and
stop a 27 year-old conspiracy to silence him with legal lynching or
life in prison without parole.Both options are unacceptable. Mumia
needs our movement and our movement needs Mumia.
 
 
Let President Obama, Vice President Biden, Attorney General Holder,
Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano, Secretary of State Clinton,
the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, Congressional Leaders, the
Congressional Black Caucus, U.N. Secy General Ban, and members of the
media know you want the Obama administration to correct the decades of
constitutional injustice in Mumia's case NOW!

Urgent Appeal to the Obama administration: correct the constitutional
injustice in Mumia's case NOW!
 
To: Attorney General Holder

I write to you with a sense of grave concern and outrage about the
U.S. Supreme Court's denial of a hearing to Mumia Abu-Jamal on the
issue of racial bias in jury selection, that is, the "Batson issue".
Inasmuch as there is no other court to which Abu-Jamal can appeal for
justice, I turn to you for remedy of a 27-year history of gross
violations of U.S. constitutional law and international standards of
justice as documented by Amnesty International and many other legal
groups around the world.
 
I call on you and the Justice Department to immediately commence a
civil rights investigation to examine the many examples of egregious
and racist prosecutorial and judicial misconduct dating back to the
original trial in 1982 and continuing through to the current inaction
of the U.S. Supreme Court. The statute of limitations should not be a
factor in this case as there is very strong evidence of an ongoing
conspiracy to deny Abu-Jamal his constitutional rights.
 
I am aware of the many differences that exist between the case of
former Senator Ted Stevens and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Still, I note with
great interest the actions you have taken with regard to Senator
Stevens' conviction to assure that he not be denied his constitutional
rights. You were specifically outraged by the fact that the
prosecution withheld information critical to the defense's argument
for acquittal, a violation clearly committed by the prosecution in Abu-
Jamal's case. Mumia Abu-Jamal, though not a U.S. senator of great
wealth and power, is a Black man revered around the world for his
courage, clarity, and commitment and deserves no less than Senator
Stevens.
