What to tell Governors and Boards of Pardons and Parole?
- Write. Phone. Fax. Tell you oppose the death penalty. Tell why you request clemency. Ask to be merciful. Remember that a simple “I oppose the execution” is enough to show that the execution is noticed and not supported.
- State your concern that executions continue to take place despite increasing public recognition of the inherent flaws and failures of the death penalty system.
- Express outrage and alarm at the high number of executions taking place in the USA.
- Urge the Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend clemency. Urge the Governor to stop the execution.
