Campaign Update - Week of 3/24/2008

Bridge Anniversary Postponed
Due to the flooding situation at the Chain of Rocks, we have temporarily postponed the annual anniversary of the Chain of Rocks Bridge tragedy on April 4. We are looking at another day later this month and will keep you informed.


Campaign 1515
The American Civil Liberties Union will host a reception for those who have submitted the petitions in Campaign 1515. We may also hold a press conference at that time to bring attention to the impending US Supreme Court decision on lethal injection.


The campaign is asking you to collect signatures to recognize the 15th year of Reggie’s conviction in the Chain of Rocks tragedy. You can represent your family, your church, your organization or just yourself and collect 15 completed sheets of signatures for Reggie’s clemency. The deadline for turning sheets in is April 5. It is a good opportunity to talk about Reggie’s case and get support.


HB 1870
There will be a public hearing for the moratorium bill on Tuesday, April 1 at the Capitol Building, hearing room 6. If you can make it, please do so. We will let you know when you should hit up your legislator for support.


Nebraska May Move to LWOP
The Nebraska Legislature debated LB 1063 today which replaces the death penalty with life without parole. Recall that the Nebraska State Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional. Let’s keep our eyes on this developing situation.


“Enough Already!”
