A Response
from FLORIDIANS FOR ALTERNATIVES TO THE DEATH PENALTYCONTACT: Abe Bonowitz, 800-973-6548 Jeb Bush "Pining and Signing" for VotesIt has been reported that Florida Governor Jeb Bush says he will continue to sign death warrants, despite the fact that the Florida Supreme Court is reconsidering whether the state's capital punishment law is constitutional. "In view of Florida's budget crisis, it is fiscally
irresponsible for Governor Bush to sign new death warrants when he knows
they will be stayed," said Abe Bonowitz, director of Floridians for
Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP). "Florida taxpayers bear
the cost for lawyers on both the prosecution and defense sides. To make
those lawyers jump through hoops just so he can win a few political
points with conservative voters is reprehensible. Jeb Bush has a record
of using the death penalty as a political football. FADP says
"Enough! It is time for a "time-out" on executions!" SENT BY:
