Governor O’Malley’s death penalty repeal bill will come before the full Senate on Tuesday!
The time to act is now! Please email today! And follow-up your e-mail with a phone call. The General Assembly switchboard is 1-800-492-7122 (toll free in Maryland)
Tell your Senator to vote for a fair vote in the full Senate AND to vote for the repeal bill.
This past Friday, the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee voted 5-5 on Governor O’Malley’s death penalty repeal bill. For most bills, this would have been its end.
But there is just too much momentum in our state for repealing the death penalty, thanks to our Governor’s leadership, the recent findings and recommendation of the Maryland Commission on Capital Punishment and people like you!
On Tuesday, the Committee’s “unfavorable” report on the bill will come to the Senate floor. Senator Lisa Gladden will make motions to reject the Committee’s report and to bring the repeal to the floor for consideration.
Tell your Senator to vote with Senator Gladden on these motions and then FOR the repeal bill. Take action now!
All of our efforts to end the death penalty must come to bear this week!
