Troy Davis! Sign the Petition!

I am sure you have heard about Troy Davis, the innocent black man who is on death row for a crime that he did not commit.


Please sign the petition:
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/2446/t/4676/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=369

You can get involved in many ways. The NAACP and Amnesty International are doing a lot of great work on this issue. Get in touch with your local NAACP or Amnesty International Chapter and see how you can help. There have been rallies, marches, and campaigns organized all around the country about this. Don't sit back and allow such an injustice to happen!

I am sure that there are some skeptics who would say that this is an isolated event, but it is not! Such injustices occur everyday within our judicial system. This case represents so much of what it wrong with the system as is. By standing up and making your voice heard, you are enabling change to occur.

From Georgians For Alternatives to the Death Penalty -

Call DA Larry Chisolm! If the Supreme Court chooses not to intervene, the Chatham County District Attorney will have to decide whether to pursue justice, or an execution warrant. Call his office at 912-652-7308 and let them know you would like the DA the re-open Troy's case. If you live in Georgia or Chatham County, tell them you're a concerned resident. But remember, you do NOT need to be a resident to take this action! Please spread this far and wide so the DA's office knows Troy has national support.

Call 912-652-7308 and ask that Troy's case be re-opened!
