Urgent Action Needed Please take 30 seconds to email the Sacramento Bee!
In the last week, the Sacramento Bee has published several op-eds on the death penalty, multiple news stories, and their most compelling editorial to date on the issue.
They have now called for submissions on the death penalty for next week's forum. It is very important we seize this opportunity to submit as many anti-death penalty letters as possible. Letters should be short and simple - no more than 300 words! Even letters that include nothing more than the statement, "I am opposed to the death penalty. " will be helpful!
The Sacramento Bee posed this question: Should California continue to impose the death penalty for the most serious crimes?
