TROY DAVIS DENIED CLEMENCY -- THERE'S STILL HOPE!


WE ARE ALL TROY DAVIS!  And no matter what specious arguments some may put forward, this is cold-blooded murder, nothing less.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF HITS WHICH INDICATES THAT THERE ARE MANY CARING PEOPLE OUT THERE. SADLY, I MUST INFORM THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW, TROY DAVIS WAS EXECUTED LAST NIGHT (SEPT. 21), SO OBVIOUSLY IT IS TOO LATE TO TAKE ACTION TO HELP HIM. HOWEVER, AS TROY WISHED, WE MUST CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY. CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE SITE OF THE CAMPAIGN TO END THE DEATH PENALTY. IT IS UP TO US TO END THIS BLIGHT ON OUR SOCIETY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CARING. AND NEVER FORGET TROY DAVIS.



Georgia is going to murder Troy Davis.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles -- virtually Troy's last chance ahead of his scheduled execution tomorrow evening -- denied him clemency this morning.

There is still hope! Please call or email the board and ask them to reverse their decision: 404-656-5651 and webmaster@pap.state.ga.us

You can also go here to read the latest update of the situation by Marlene Martin of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty (CEDP). Marlene has been a stalwart for Troy Davis' cause.

At the top right of that page you'll find CEDP's "5 Reasons to Oppose the Death Penalty." I would add one that I believe is crucial: The death penalty (which, quite simply, is state-sanctioned murder) demeans the humanity of us all. To carry out executions is to mimic the very crimes we say we abhor.

And remember: The case against Troy Davis has completely fallen apart. It is only the mechanisms of our "justice" system that disqualify all the facts now available to save Troy. Millions around the world are calling for clemency.

Please, keep fighting,
Adrian

ONCE AGAIN: Please call or email (or both) the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles and ask them to reverse their decision: 404-656-5651 and webmaster@pap.state.ga.us
