| Description | Officials with Rep. Mary Bono Mack’s campaign, at a press conference Thursday, released an audiotape in which her Democratic opponent, Raul Ruiz, can be heard reading a letter of support for Leonard Peltier, a Native American convicted in 1977 of murdering two FBI agents on an Indian reservation in South Dakota.
In the audio, Ruiz can be heard reading a letter to Peltier written by “Subcomandante Marcos,” a Marxist leader of the Zapatista liberation movement for indigenous people centered in the rural Mexican state of Chiapas. Ruiz spent eight months there as part of a medical research project while attending Harvard medical school, during a period of armed conflict between the Zapatista rebels and Mexican government. |
