10/24/2009 Austin TX
Hundreds gather at the TX State Capitol to protest the Death Penalty. After so many people have been exonerated it is unfathomable that this archaic practice still exists within our "justice" system. On Tuesday Oct. 27, 2009 Reginald Blanton will be murdered by the state unless Governor Rick Perry grants him a Stay of Execution. Call Governor Perry and tell him to stop this unconscionable practice today! Before another innocent person is murdered in your name.
Governor Rick Perry (512) 463-2000

2. Next door, NM is still largely the wild west.
However, our state lege abolished the DP last spring and Richardson was persuaded to sign it.

Only one execution has happened here since 1961. The hope is that the few on death row who won't be subject to the ban will have their sentences commuted to life without parole.

The DP never did have very wide public support in this very Catholic state.

Any time a Government gives itself the power to kill its citizens..for whatever reason..it ALWAYS deteriorates into a dictatorship sooner or later.

He was executed on MArch 23, 1993. He was not the singer but a young man from the Dominican Republic. He was my friend and I witnessed his execution. He was innocent of killing anyone and was convicted under Texas' Law of Parties.

I'm sorry
