Week 6

Let's see.. right now I am writing a letter to Leonard Peltier attempting to get him on board with our Religious Freedoms for Incarcerated Native Americans business.  That needs to go out today.  Also a letter I wrote to Native Families will go out today concerning generic vs. branded drug prices and offers, and how Indian Health Services lacks the QUALITY and standards of healthcare for the rest of the nation.

I am being charged currently with researching exoneration stories over the past twenty to thirty years to see how the media dealt with and delivered the stories on the case at the time of its prevalence.  The point is to see how media, and particularly "white" media, has worked to help further Mass Incarceration.  This will involve a lot of research as i am required to go through at least 40 different cases, but the article will be sent to something I've just learned about--the marshal project.  Some guy that worked for the NYTimes for 30 years.  That's kinda cool.  A chance to be Published. 

Its gonna take a lot of time though because of the word "alleged".  I'm excited to start it, but also not.
