 A Convenient Execution
Please take action to stop the pending execution of Ronald Chambers in Texas, scheduled for January 25.

Mr. Chambers has spent the past 31 years in prison, nearly all of it on death row. To quote Supreme Court Justice Breyer, "It is fairly asked whether such punishment is both unusual and cruel."

Death Penalty
Execution, judicial homicide, legal murder, capital punishment, surrender, capitulation, ignorance.


"One area of law more than any other besmirches the constitutional vision of human dignity. . .
.
The barbaric death penalty violates our Constitution.  Even the most vile murderer does not release
the state from its obligation to respect dignity, for the state does not honor the victim by emulating
his murderer. Capital punishment's  fatal flaw is that it treats people as objects to be toyed with and
discarded. . . . One day the Court will outlaw the death penalty. Permanently."
  
 
--William J. Brennan, Jr., retired Supreme Court Justice, 1996
