Elections and the death penalty
While Kansas City prosecutors drop the death penalty in the case of 3 year old Green (Jane Doe), gubernatorial candidates Jay Nixon (D) and Kenny Hulshof ® recently vowed to uphold the death penalty in Missouri during a candidatesʼ forum in Columbia, MO. During the same forum, Libertarian candidate Andrew Finkenstadt said he is opposed to capital punishment and Constitution Party candidate Greg Thompson said it costs too much compared with life in prison.
The Justice for Reggie Clemons Campaign has been constantly asked about the governorʼs race: Who should abolitionists support? This will be a very challenging race. We know that the death penalty is not the only issue to consider so we urge you to do your homework on all the candidates. If you get the opportunity to attend a candidatesʼ forum, press Hulshof and Nixon: Would they consider claims of innocence, would they reconsider cases of botched trials, etc.
Should you get such a question in, please share the answer with us!
Justice for Reggie Campaign meeting
Next meeting will be Monday, September 22 at 7 pm at the Rowan Center, 1401 Rowan Avenue.
“Enough Already!”
