THE MORATORIUM CAMPAIGN http://www.moratoriumcampaign.org/
The death penalty has failed as a public policy experiment. Innocent people are being sent to death row. It is applied with severe racial and economic bias. We are executing juveniles and the mentally retarded. And it is much more expensive than a life without parole sentence. Prudence demands that we stop executions and conduct a comprehensive review of the system. The Moratorium Campaign is calling for an immediate moratorium on executions so that these serious questions about the application of the death penalty can be reviewed. Join Sr. Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking, and The Moratorium Campaign in this fight for fairness and social justice by going to our 'Take Action' section. It is time to STOP, and rethink the death penalty.
