BUSH BROTHERS TO KILL FIVE THIS WEEK ALONE!
ACTIVISTS TO PARODY BUSH BROTHERS AT TALLAHASSEE
RALLY...
EDITORS!! PHOTO OP!!
WHO: Anti-Death Penalty Activists
WHAT: Parody Bush Brothers at Tallahassee Protest
WHEN: 1pm to 3pm, Wednesday, December 6, 2000
WHERE: Florida State Capitol
WHY: Killing is wrong!
WEST PALM BEACH: With the execution of Garry Dean Miller in
Texas last night, Governor George W. Bush presided over the 38th
execution in one year in the State of Texas, a record. At same
time, W. carved his 150th notch on his executioner's belt. And
less then three weeks before Christmas, he's not finished yet!
Two more prisoners are scheduled to be killed in Texas this week,
leaving absolutely no question about who has presided over the most
executions in the history of the United States. Trailing far
behind with only six prisoner-killings to his credit, Florida's
Governor Jeb! Bush also plans two executions this week.
Welcome to the holiday season under the Bush dynasty!
Activists from Citizens United for Alternatives to the Death Penalty
and Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty will take part
in the rally in Tallahassee on Wednesday, wearing "Bush
Heads" of both Jeb! and W, and carrying stop signs reading,
"Stop Me Before I Kill Again!" Of course, they are
also attending the rally to protest the denial of democracy in the
Presidential election.
And what of Al Gore? "Al Gore is a bigger
"weenie" on this issue than the Bush brothers," said
Abe Bonowitz, Director of both groups. "Al Gore knows
better, and yet he panders to the voters. Gore could have
differentiated himself more clearly from W. if he had only said, 'I
support the death penalty, but not the way they do it in
Texas!'"
