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.

Stanley "Tookie" Williams, has a legacy of killing four innocent people, starting the Crips gang -- a gang responsible for more murders, and writing a children's book.
Why do 'they' want him dead?
Would he sell more books if he lived?
What about the price, of his book, on Ebay, the day after he is dead?
Check out this cool link and see what Tookie's shotgun blasts did to the innocent disarmed victimes whom he murdered.
What a cool guy! What a great example and role model for the "black" community.

How about a link to the forensic evidence like finger prints, paraffin tests or any other material evidence.
How about the court transcripts?
Ha.
Some Anti Death Penalty quotes to be found on my website. Submissions remain anonymous. (The Pro Death Camp can make their appeal on their own websites.)
“It seems mentally ill to think laws that disrespect life should attempt to shape an orderly democratic society. Who sides with this Al Qaeda type of punishment that we call capital?”
“Where are the real honest Jesus Christians today? Are they unable to come together, here? Where are those [who will vote no on the death sentence], which their own savior opposed? God, tell me there are more of them than the Eye Foreign Eye Gang.”
“We Are Anti Death Penalty - Pro Recycling of Salvageable Society.”
“Keeping Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams in prison for life is a lesser evil than the danger of the state repeating the murders of innocent people in the future.”
“Don’t worry yourself thinking that by keeping him alive, he (Tookie) might secretly be running crime from state prison, unless you believe in Charles Manson’s prophecies.”
“Who will adhere to the loving testimony of Jesus, and who will adhere to the savagery that tortured and murdered him? What would Jesus do?
“This death penalty question must be answered, and my true brothers and sisters will remain against it, even more, if I were assassinated for saying so.”
“Personally, I think that the death penalty is even more criminal when it is used in conjunction with the crime of scape-goating, which is done by the Pharisees of our day. The act of murder should be considered one’s ticket to being locked away for life to help a specific ministry of society, so that those who wish to minister can do so without killing.”
Gov ain't gonna mess with numbers like that.
