Sample Letter to the Editor...

Stanly "Tookie" Williams is scheduled to be executed

by the State of California on December 13.

Tookie was one of the founders of the Crips gang in

Los Angeles; he grew up in poverty, without

opportunity, and took his leadership skills in a

negative direction. A direction that, as a teacher, I

can see many of the youth that I meet going with their

brilliance and creativity because our state and

country does not give them the support that they need

to come out of the violence and poverty that surrounds

them.



Since his activities with the Crips, Tookie has turned

into a "Peacemaker". He has been nominated five times

for the Nobel Peace Prize and was given the 2005

Presidential Call to Service Award for the powerful

work he has done in writing and creating a film for

inner-city youth about moving away from gang life and

violence. His work has lead to the transformation of

the lives of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands

of youth.



His death would be a travesty to youth throughout

California growing up in poverty and violence as it

would show them that there is no hope in turning their

lives around, in getting out of their current

situation. It would kill someone who means

life and hope to many of them.

In life we all make mistakes and go down wrong paths.

It is the strongest and most brave of us who are able

to recognize a wrong direction and make things right.

Let us make a decision to allow a man to live, to

continue a life inspiring others to live in a way of

peace and light, to help us believe in something

better.
