Do Not Execute James Jackson!

James Jackson was convicted in the 1997 murder of his wife and two stepdaughters. During the sentencing phase of his trial, the judge did not allow any of Jackson's family to testify as to how his execution would affect their lives.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Rick Perry requesting that he stop the execution of James Jackson!

Do Not Execute Donald Miller!

The state of Texas is scheduled to execute Donald Miller for the 1982 murders of Dennis Mozingo and Kenneth Whitt near Houston. Miller and two others shot them after kidnapping and robbing them.

Neither of Miller's accomplices received death sentences. Furthermore, the main witness and codefendant recanted his original statement, that he did not, in fact, see Miller shoot anyone. Also, the federal district court found that the state had suppressed important evidence during the sentencing phase of the trial and then granted Miller relief. This decision was later overturned by the 5th Circuit court.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Rick Perry requesting that Donald Miller's execution be halted!
