Brothers And Sisters/Companeros Y Companeras,

My autobiography, Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary, is a MUST- READ FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! Why? Not only because it makes very interesting reading, written like I’m sitting down having a cup of coffee across the table from you, but most importantly because THE VISION IT CONTAINS, WHEN IMPLEMENTED WITH YOUR HELP, WILL TRANSFORM OUR COUNTRY INTO A CARING DEMOCRACY, RUN BY THE PEOPLE.

Here’s what some folks are already saying about it and my activism…

STEPHANIE (she is a young woman who works in Dunkin Donuts, Brentwood Road, Brentwood, New York): "Walter, when I read Chapter Eight, I have to tell you it was hotter than Fifty Shades Of Grey! Then, I read the whole book, and I loved it! So, I gave it to my Mom to read. She did, and she loved it! Now, she gave it to my Grandma to read!”

DENISE (Nurse’s Aid, Maria Regina Residence, Brentwood, New York): “Your writing style is so interesting to read. I really like the way you’ll start on a subject, and then sometimes jump to something you want the reader to know about right then and there, just like you’re talking to us!”

DR. JEFFREY LEONARDIS (Board Certified Cardiologist and Internist, Garden City): “Walter, your writing style is fantastic! You really know how to write! Even though I’m conservative in my political views and don’t agree with everything you say, I respect you and what you have done!”

CHARLES FERRARA (Vietnam Veteran who was on a rooftop in Saigon when the Tet Offensive broke out): “As I was walking across the floor while in Winthrop Hospital, Mineola, Long Island, in a bed next to his father, Charles, Sr: Walter, please be careful how you walk; the world needs you!” Charles made this comment before he read my book, but after getting to know me and my views. His brother, Paul, already bought my book.

And on the literary side…

MAXWELL CORYDON WHEAT, JR . (First Poet Laureate, Nassau County, New York): “Walter Pietsch (writes) . . . in a robust, rough-hewned style that keeps the reader fixed on this story. . . Human interest . . . makes this . . . a brilliant read! (The book) is (an) entertaining . . . window into the people of contemporary American history.”

ED ASNER (actor/activist; member, Foundation for Democracy): “. . . a fighter for the right things that occupy our lives and are usually ignored.”

CORA SANTAGUIDA (2012 CT Green Party candidate for Board of Education, Stamford; member, PoemAlley: "Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary was a great experience. Pietsch addresses issues that many would avoid... with courage, know-how and grace. This thoughtful autobiography emanates passion alongside great moments of tenderness. Walter Pietsch's words educate and inspire."


SO FOLKS, WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Love, sex, caring, golf, God, the soul, current events and what’s really going on and what’s wrong with things--and a simple, non-violent vision which, when implemented, will change everything for the better for all of us--except those who are multi-millionaires and billionaires (the 1% ers).

An Honest Mirror On The World… From Solitary

 The new documentary Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary examines the life of convict Mumia Abu-Jamal not just as a globally-recognized resilient symbol of American political resistance, but as an essayist/social commentator, historian and journalist. Only recently removed from death row after being dubiously charged with the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, Mumia, a former radio reporter, was an active member of the Black Panther Party, MOVE and a president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists (go to "Dedications To American Political Prisoners" under the Pages section on the right for more information).

His investigative work relating to racial, social/political justice, while earning him the ire of established authority and the corruption of the U.S. court system, has flourished defiantly form solitary confinement in the form of a weekly radio commentary and several books, including Death Blossom, All Things Censored and Jailhouse Lawyers, covering such topics as spirituality, religion, capitalism and the prison-industrial complex.

His typically incisive weekly observations on PrisonRadio.org (click here to listen to his thoughts on Obama’s second term) calls into question who is really isolated: those imprisoned by solid walls, or those by their own limited preconceptions of how things are—as opposed to how they could be?

Directed and produced by Stephen Vittoria (2005’s One Bright Shining Moment), Long Distance Revolutionary, with commentary from Tariq Ali, Cornell West, James Cone and Ramona Africa, premieres February 1 at the Cinema Village in Manhattan, followed by a major city roll-out across the country. Watch the recent interview on Democracy Now! Below:
