Local News and Announcements... Don't miss anything...please scroll downTomorrow at the Capitol: Day of Education on the Moratorium & Death Penalty AbolitionThursday, April 20, 2006Join us in Jefferson City for a Panel Discussion and Rally for an Execution Moratorium and Study of Missouri’s Death Penalty The death penalty has not proven to be a effective deterrent to crime and it cost more to execute someone than to rehabilitate them. Notwithstanding, many people on death row have been found to be innocent through recent technology and some have been sentenced to die as a result of people corrupting the criminal justice process. As a concerned citizen it's your time to help bring an end to this injustice. Join us for at least part of the day and let your voices be heard. (Our apologies on this extremely late notice). Stand up and speak out! Tell lawmakers to support a moratorium on the death penalty. For more information contact redditt@aclu-em.org or call 314-361-3635, ext. 31. If you are interested in car-pooling from Columbia for the early morning activities, call Jeff at 573-449-4585. Join us Thursday, April 20:
