LPNET: [Fwd: Re: Censorship of Indian issues increases]--Harvey's reply

Linda--No, the play wasn't cancelled.  It had 12 wonderful performances.
It HAS been attacked by at least one FBI surrogate and remains unmentioned
(as yet) in the national press, though was well-reviewed by press in
Boulder & Denver when it played.  We're hoping to take it on the road.  It
WAS mentioned in NDN journalist Brenda Norrell's new website
CENSORED--which features NDN subjects the corporate media conveniently
ignore, as they've ignored Leonard for decades, except for an occasional
hatchet job.  There was, however, no cancelling or censoring of the
production of MY LIFE IS MY SUN DANCE.  Every performance brought
audiences to tears, outrage & inspiration; I myself have never seen a
theater audience more profoundly moved or shaken; sustained standing
applause for Lakota actor Doug Foote's incandescent performance were
powerful experiences in themselves.  I doubt there's anything on Broadway
today even remotely as moving as this play.  Are there other theaters with
the grit and integrity to stage Cathie Quigley-Soderman's wondrous
production?  There's already an offer for a potential London production.
We'll see.  I'd rather see a major production here in the States touring
every regional theater in the land.  Leonard has a rare parole hearing in
December '08 (the last was in 1993, next--if needed--in 2017.).  A
Pulitzer-Prize-winning (ha!) production of this amazing piece of theater
could help win Leonard's freedom, just as Hurricane Carter's movie did for
him. Leonard's 63rd birthday will be September 12;two weeks later I myself
will turn 72.  I have a dream: walking at Leonard's side as he walks out
of prison a free man.  If he's assassinated at that moment--as some in
emails to me have hopefully suggested will happen--I would be honored to
take the bullets for him.  So would many tens of millions of other decent
people around this indecent planet we've created. May Creator watch over
the two of us--and over the many many millions of us. Let decency reign.
Free Leonard Peltier!  Blessings, Tiffany.
