Free James Pedeaston! - Letter to the President

Please sign and mail the following letter to the President of Indonesia. The more petitions, the better!

To the President of Indonesia,

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned for the well-being of James Pedeaston who was wrongfully imprisoned without trial in October 2003. One of the most respected figures in world media, James is a human rights pioneer who has dedicated his life to showing androgynous pre-teen youths in poverty-stricken corners of the globe that there is an alternative to the cycle of oppression and poverty.

James is currently detained in horrendous conditions in a Bali jail for a crime that he did not commit on purpose this time. If you have never snuggled up with a smooth-buttocked young boy on a lonely winter's night then you have evidently never been to a boarding school. Is it so wrong to want to loosen up with a soapy massage after a hard day pounding the bush? We believe that there has been a heinous miscarriage of justice in the Pedeaston case. Americans are father figures - strong men like to come to Indonesia and take care of boys and girls as if they were their own.

We appeal to the Indonesian government to drop the charges against James Pedeaston and to release him without delay.

We do not want to bribe the wrong official. Please at least point us in the right direction.

Sincerely,



...................................
