Email Governor Perry solely

The only way to email Governor Perry is through his Contact Web Site. Until we can create our own page to email him, we ask you to go to that page and follow the instructions there. If you wish, you can copy the suggested text below and paste it into the comment section at the Contact Web Site. Or, you can write your own message.

The Contact Web Site requests that comments longer than 200 words be mailed by letter. This suggests that any message longer than 200 words will be reduced to the first 200 words. The message below is 118 words long.

If this seems complicated, we apologize. We're working on making it simpler. But at least give it a try.

On September 14, 2005, Frances Newton, AN INNOCENT WOMAN, is scheduled to be executed.

If the jury had known the facts that are presently known, they would not have found Frances guilty nor given her the death sentence.

The dubious motive, unrealistic timeline, the police's refusal to follow important leads, and most of all, her incompetent counsel, all point to the compelling evidence that proves Frances Newton is innocent. She has been on death row for 18 years, and you have already granted her a 120- day stay. But on the basis of new evidence, Frances needs to finally have her day in court. We plead to you in good conscience to STAY THE EXECUTION OF FRANCES NEWTON.
