There’s a reason why the Constitution mentions “the blessings of Liberty” in the preamble. Liberty is what makes life sweet. And this holiday season some people are incarcerated. Some justly, some unjustly, but all would welcome a note from the outside world — especially from someone who understands the importance of Liberty.
Please pick someone (or more than one) from the list below. If you would like to add someone to the list click here.
If you want an idea of what to write check out the American Friends Guide on how to send holiday cards to people in prisons, jails and detention centers.
Please avoid cards with foil or glitter. Printed cards only if you want to ensure delivery!
Adam Kokesh
Famed liberty activist Adam Kokesh was recently jailed for possession of a plant that helps veterans. If you can get a card to him, that would be meaningful.

LEONARD PELTIER #89637-132
You can find out more about Leonard Peltier at https://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/
Native American activist Leonard Peltier has spent over 40 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Prosecutors and federal agents manufactured evidence against him (including the so-called “murder weapon”); hid proof of his innocence; presented false testimony obtained through torturous interrogation techniques; ignored court orders; and lied to the jury. People are commonly set free due to a single constitutional violation, but Peltier—innocent and faced with a staggering number of constitutional violations—has yet to receive equal justice.

Ross Ulbrecht #18870-111
Ross is imprisoned for creating The Silk Road -- the ultimate free market website. His sentencing is an enormous miscarriage of justice, and he deserves all the support the Liberty movement can muster. Please send him a holiday card, but also find out more about his case at FreeRoss.org
PLEASE NOTE: Ross can only receive plain letters -- no cards. So please when you write him make your letter pages of paper and that's it -- no cards or stationary.

A question that isn’t appropriate in any case is the one about their crime. You should wait for your penpal to open up on their own. Feel free to let them know about your feelings for Liberty and about your appreciation for their liberty positions.
