Hi Friends,
Please take a moment to vote in this Hartford Courant poll about repeal:
http://www.courant.com/news/politics/hc-death-penalty-poll,0,6302,post.poll
Sometime today the CT Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the repeal
bill (SB 280). We
anticipate that the bill will be voted out of committee! You can watch the live
streaming of the
committee vote here: http://www.ctn.state.ct.us/
Last week the Judiciary Committee held a nearly 13 hour long public hearing and
the support for
repeal was overwhelming! Law enforcement, murder victims' family members,
religious leaders, and
dozens others came forward and testified beautifully about how the death
penalty is failing the
people of Connecticut. To read some of the coverage from the hearing please
check out the CT
murder victims' family members' blog: http://ctvictimvoices.org/ The blog's
intrepid owner,
Elizabeth has posted her testimony (it's awesome!) and will be sharing other
people's testimonies
in the days to come.
All best,
Colleen Cunningham
