They're going to kill Troy Davis! Please take action.

[Gregorian]

Please go to this link and sign the petition. I've posted this earlier this week. But

The state of Georgia has issued a death warrant for Troy Davis to commence on Sept 23, which will likely be the date of the scheduled execution - this despite evidence that Davis may be innocent.

Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia. According to Amnesty International, the case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony that contained inconsistencies, even at trial. Since then, all but two of the state's nine non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony. Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced into testifying or signing statements.

The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty asks you to take action TODAY to help convince the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to act so that the State of Georgia does not carry out this execution. The Board has scheduled the clemency hearing for September 12 (THIS FRIDAY) so time is of the essence.

Your short and polite note asking the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant clemency to Troy Anthony Davis may be e-mailed, faxed and/or mailed via postal mail today or sent for overnight delivery by Thursday.

No matter WHAT he did or did not do, the government should not be killing its citizens.

26. There's a bus leaving from Savannah at noon Thursday for that.

I can't go because I just started a new job and can't take any vacation days yet.

I don't know if the bus is full or not but if anyone in the area has the time free it is departing at noon from Connors Baptist on MLK & Gwinett.

btw The cost of the bus is being covered by Troy's sister so your only cost would be meals.

The bus will return to Savannah around midnight.
