{news} URGENT REQUEST for Action to abolish the death penalty in CT

[Charlie Pillsbury]

After over ten hours of debate, the senate voted shortly after 4 AM to
abolish the death penalty by a vote of 19-17! This is obviously another
tremendous victory. We now have to do everything possible to pressure the
governor to sign the piece of legislation.

Today (Friday) there will be an 11 AM press conference of murder victims'
family members at the Legislative Office Building calling on the governor to
sign the abolition bill. In addition to a media blitz, we need everyone to

 

1.      Call Governor Rell at 860-566-4840

2.      Email Governor Rell at  <mailto:Governor.Rell at ct.gov>
Governor.Rell at ct.gov

3.      Write a letter to Governor Rell addressed to:

 

Executive Office of the Governor
State Capitol
210 Capitol Avenue
Hartford, Connecticut 06106


After you've done these things, tell everyone you know to do the same!

Thank you!
