President Trump Pardon Imprisoned Whistle-Blower Reality Leigh Winner Stand- Out (And Pardon AIM Leader Leonard Peltier Too) Part Street Station Redline MBTA Stop-12-1 PM Saturday March 2, 2019


We Will Not Leave Reality Leigh Winner Behind - Join the call of Stand with Reality, Veterans for Peace, Courage to Resist, Code Pink, About Face, Roots Action, Freedom of the Press Foundation and many other organizations for a pardon by President Trump.


Leonard Peltier who is very sick has been in prison for over forty years charged with murder even the prosecutors are not sure who committed it when the Feds stormed Pine Ridge Reservation in the 1970s. A previous pardon appeal to President Obama before he left office in 2017 failed but we must continue to pursue this course of action. Go to Leonard Peltier. Org for details on this case.       

***** 


Ms. Winner had been charged under the Espionage Act, a 100-year-old statute originally designed for spies and saboteurs aiding foreign governments in time of war to The Intercept, an on-line news organization.

 On June 26, 2018 Ms. Winner entered a guilty plea to the espionage charge in the Federal District Court of Georgia in Augusta and on August 23, 2018 she was sentenced to sixty-three months in jail and three years of supervised probation thereafter.

That leaves a presidential pardon or commutation of sentence as the only serious remedies left.


This is the stiffest sentence ever given to a civilian whistle-blower. We believe the sentence against Ms. Winner is grossly disproportionate to her offense and is designed to create a chilling effect on investigative journalism by dissuading sources from sharing information that is critical to the public interest. For more information about the Winner case go to StandWithReality.org.


Under Article II, Section 2 The President… shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. We urge you to come stand with us at Park Street Station on March 2nd at 12 noon for an hour prior to the weekly peace vigil held there If you can’t please add your signature to the pardon campaign -timing is important:
