Dear Dean,
The state of Georgia seems determined to kill Troy Davis. But your thousands of calls, faxes and emails have sent a powerful message that such an injustice is totally unacceptable. Georgia officials need to keep hearing your voice: Ask Governor Perdue to stop the execution of Troy Davis.
You’ve heard the facts already:
- 7 of the 9 witnesses have recanted their testimonies
- No murder weapon nor any physical evidence has been found to link Troy to the crime
- One of the remaining two witnesses has even been implicated as the real killer
A new animated video, featuring original music by State Radio, illustrates the injustice of Troy Davis’ case. Video produced by Citizen.
Despite this mounting evidence in favor of Troy’s freedom, he continues to wait on death row.
Watch and share the story of Troy Davis by forwarding this new video to friends, family and supporters of human rights.
We are anxiously awaiting the court’s response to the latest round of arguments in Troy’s case that could be handed down at any moment. So the fate of Troy Davis is still very much in limbo. We need you to continue rallying support by spreading this video of Troy’s story any way that you can.
Each time you forward this video to a new person, you help build a stronger case for Troy and help tip the scale in favor of justice.
In Solidarity,
Sue Gunawardena-Vaughn

Thanks, Sokari, for this heads up.
I will gladly pass this on. : )
I’ve signed the petition, posted the video to my facebook page, sent it as a message to each of my 102 facebook friends and emailed it to my friends not on facebook. I want to do more. Is there another protest coming up? I live in Georgia and want very much to be a part of the next demonstration.
