http://www.californiamoratorium.org /

I join the call for a moratorium on executions in California because I believe: 1) there is a risk of executing innocent persons; 2) there is discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, geography, or economic status, and 3) unfair and unreliable death sentences are caused by inadequate representation by defense counsel and/or improper and arbitrary conduct by the police and prosecution.

much more information on that website.
i mistakenly posted this on another thread, then realized it is for California citizens only.

i'm sorry to drop it with you and run.

please lead the way for the rest of our states, so many of which (like mine, massachusetts) are going backwards.


thank you!

1. Signed it!
I'm as tough on crime as anybody else, but there have been too many wrongful convictions across the country. I'd rather give a guilty person life in prison without parole than execute an innocent person.
