Local News and Announcements... Don't miss anything...please scroll downDear Friend,U.S. Officials are preparing to execute David Paul Hammer at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, June 8 for the murder of Andrew Marti, who had shared a prison cell with him. We condemn that initial act of violence and the retaliatory killing planned early next week. Hammer would be the 4th person murdered by the U.S. State through the federal death-penalty system at the Terre Haute prison in Indiana during the last decade. Please take what actions you can (noted below) to voice your concern that the State not kill to show that killing people, who kill other people, is wrong. In addition to being a human being, with an inherent right to life, Hammer also has steadfastly taken responsibility for his actions and expressed consistently, remorse for his violence. Let our nation show reverence for life and halt his killing.
