Hey y'all

I received an email telling me that there will be a protest in Hartford on December 10th in front of the courthouse at 1pm. Basically it is in celebration of human rights day and against a death sentence scheduled for January 26th.

If you are in the area please do go. Hopefully i will get to go. I get to Ct from spain on the ninth and will do my best to go.

Later.

Stop the Death Penalty, It’s Poor Public Policy

Abolish the Death Penalty
-Connecticut Is On the Brink of Its First Execution
Since 1960
-The Death Penalty Is the Greatest Denial of Civil
Liberties
-The Death Penalty is Not a Deterrent to Crime
-The Death Penalty Costs More than Life in Prison
-The Death Penalty Risks Killing Innocent People

Rally at the Capital
on International Human Rights Day

December 10th 12:00 noon

The last execution in Connecticut was 45 years ago. But on January 26, 2005, the State of Connecticut plans to execute a human being in our name. Join the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty in our new campaign “Do Not Kill in My Name” to stay this execution and abolish Connecticut’s death penalty for good. Please join us at the rally and check our website at www.DontKillInMyNameCT.org for more information and activities.

Vigil at the Courthouse, 95 Washington St., Hartford 10:30 before the rally to protest …

the next death sentence. When Eduardo Santiago receives the death sentence on December 10th, he will become the 9th person on Connecticut’s death row. He was found guilty in the December 2000 murder for hire case of Joseph Niwinski in West Hartford.

The CNADP is a coalition of many organizations and individuals. We meet at 7:00 pm on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the United Methodist Church 571 Farmington Avenue, Hartford and at 7:00 on the 4th Tuesday of each month at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Bridgeport 96 Chapel Street, Stratford.
