- Les Coleman was a DIA agent who blew the whistle on the
drug running going on surrounding Pan Am 103, which was blown up over Lockerbie
Scotland. Rayelan Allan is the former Rayelan Russbacher, ex-wife of Gunther
Russbacher, who is said to have flown George Bush to Tehran prior to the
Reagan/Bush election to make the hostage deal known as "October Surprise."
Rayelan would like to do radio interviews to tell about Coleman's railroading
by the government to keep him quiet and spank him as an example to other
government whistle blowers. Please read her note below...

- Craig,
-
- Can you help me organize a publicity marathon for Les
Coleman. The jury found him guilty. The judge will pass sentence on April
10.
-
- He would like a letter writing campaign to the judge
citing, health, age, wife mental state, kids in foster care, his abusive
treatment in federal prison, the fact that he is not a threat to the community
etc.... I will prepare the list of things he told me and get and email
out tonight.
-
- I would like to get him on radio shows. If he can't do
them because of time, then his lawyer, Rodney Stich, you or me will have
to do it. However, it has been so long since I have done the radio circut---
I have only a handful of contacts anymore. Hopefully you have more than
I do... and I think Rodney Stich can help with this.
-
- We only have until the 10th of April to convince the
judge to give a suspended or extrememly lenient sentence. If we could get
thousands of letters a day going into his office, I am sure it would make
a difference. It did with Gunther.
-
- Here is the article I wrote this morning before I talked
with Les. I have to go to the doctor. When I get back I will write up what
he told me and send it out.
-
- Thanking you in advance for you help,

- LES COLEMAN -- HOW WE CAN HELP -- NOW!! Posted By RAYELAN

- Dear Rumor Mill News Readers,
-
- From Rayelan Allan, (Russbacher)
-
- Les Coleman was convicted. He will be sentenced April
10th.
-
- I still have not heard from Les or his friend Bill, who
is in Lexington. The information I have is from the newspapers. If you
have not seen the stories on the Rumor Mill News Forum, here is the link
to the "Read Only" Forum.

-
- Even though I have not been given recommendations of
things that we can do to help, I know -- because I have been there -- what
is most needed right now.
-
- At the moment, the best thing we can do is send Les and
his family notes of encouragement. More than likely, the case will be overturned
on appeal. But Les will remain incarcerated until this sentence is reversed.
-
- His bail was only $10,000, but he and his friends could
not raise it. (If by chance you happen to have that kind of money, please
contact Bill and ask him if Les can still be released on bail.)
-
- Les's wife is Mary-Claude Coleman. I know what she is
going through because I went through it when Gunther was sentenced to 28
years in prison.
-
- When you hear a prison sentence passed on someone you
love, you go numb. I went to bed and asked God to let me die. I imagine
that Mary-Claude is going through similar emotions right now.
-
- Please send her a card and let her know that she is in
the thoughts and prayers of thousands of Americans who know the truth about
Les. Send her letters to their friend, Bill. Please enclose some money,
even $5.00.
-
- When I was married to Gunther, each 15 minute phone call
cost $15.00. The prison industry uses these lucrative phone contracts to
raise the money to run the prisons and jails. In other words, the prisoners'
families pay for their incarceration.
-
- Each time I opened a letter that contained a check or
cash, I cried. Each month, the thousands of supporters that Gunther and
I had, sent enough money, in five, ten and twenty dollar checks, to pay
the four and five hundred dollar phone bills.
-
- Some people agreed to install three way calling so that
Gunther could call them, and then they would call me. Prisons and jails
try to do everything they can to separate a prisoner from his family. Making
phone calls so expensive keeps prisoners from communicating with their
families. Soon the families stop making contact, and then the authorities
are free to treat the prisoner any way they want. Please don't let this
happen to Les Coleman.
-
- The American people stood up for Gunther and me. Please
stand with me as I try to stand up for Les Coleman.
-
- You can send letters and money to:

-
- Les's children are probably devastated by their father's
conviction. The local newspapers have painted him poorly. Not only are
the children in a foster home, they will have to endure the taunts and
painful teasing of their class mates. Please send them a note and let them
know that their father is a hero to hundreds of thousands of Americans.

- Lester Coleman children, [Josh, Chad (10 or 11) and Sarah
(13 or 14)] c/o Angela Harris 627 W. 4th St. Lexington, KY 40508

-
- This is Les's address at the jail. Please send him a
letter NOW. I don't know how quickly he will be moved, and if Kentucky
is like other states, his mail will not be forwarded. He can accept Postal
Money Orders. Even if it is just five dollars, please send something along
with your note and send a copy of the letter you have sent to the paper
or his family.

- Unfortunately, most people who are interested in information
like this have already bankrupted themselves trying to help those who have
been wrongly accused and unjustly incarcerated.
-
- If YOU happen to have money that you can spare, PLEASE,
please share some of it with this family. What goes around comes around,
and you will be rewarded for this.

- The following is a letter sent by a reader of RMNews
to the Managing Editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader, Mr. Eblen.
-
- Mr Eblen's email address is included. Please email him
and ask him to send a reporter to interview Les. The public needs to hear
Les's side of the story.
-
- ***************
-
- Here's a letter I just sent to Mr. Eblen, Managing Editor
of the Lexington Herald-Leader. His email address is teblen@herald-leader.com
-
- Subject: Les Coleman Trial & Conviction Date: Fri,
17 Mar 2000 11:14:27 -0500 From: C To:
-
- teblen@herald-leader.com
-
- Dear Mr. Eblen,
-
- Thank you for reporting on the Coleman story.
-
- I'm writing today to ask that you run yet another Coleman
story that provides information about the Defense arguments in this case
rebutting or responding to the prosecution's evidence.
-
- Also, could you provide information as to why Coleman's
job at WLXG ended - was it some conflict about Coleman's style, subject
matter, relationship with management or was it part of a long planned format
change. If it was a format change, was the decision unusual by WLXG standards
or industry standards?
-
- I'm also interested in Coleman's work as a private investigator.
Was Coleman self-employed? Did he contract for various agencies, and if
so, what other agencies? What sort of investigations did Coleman conduct?
-
- Finally, about Mr. Coleman's children in foster care
- are they being kept together, or were they seperated? Did the Colemans
have any say as to where and with whom the children were placed? Will the
children be allowed to visit their father and will those visits - transportation,
etc. - be facilitated by the Commonwealth?
-
- Any follow-up reporting about the Coleman case will be
much appreciated.
-
- Sincerely,
-
- C
-

-
- You can also write a letter to Lexington Hearald Leader
asking why Lester Coleman is being held in such draconian conditions:
-
- No fresh air for 6 weeks --- lights on 24 hours a day
-- poor diet, extreme overcrowded conditions,--- people sleeping on floor
--- inadequate medical care at the Fayette County Detention Center.
