Maryland Citizens Against State Executions

These words from Joe Hill, a likely innocent man executed nearly a century ago, still ring true today. Three-quarters of a million people saying "too much doubt" did not stop the execution of Troy Davis last night -- because the death penalty is a LEGAL option. The Supreme Court ruled almost 20 years ago that actual innocence can not trump a “constitutionally” imposed death sentence. Process won over truth and another likely innocent man has died. The only way to prevent another Troy Davis is to have no death penalty!

The Supreme Court reinforced last night that this is a state-by-state fight. In Maryland, we are poised win repeal of the death penalty. The voice of every Marylander makes a difference! Please join MD Citizens Against State Executions! It is free (though we can sure use any dollars you can give!). Tell your state legislators you want a vote on death penalty repeal in 2012 and you want them to vote for it!
