Gov. Scott has ordered the “People of the State of Florida” to kill more prisoners than any Florida governor in modern times. By order of Richard Lynne Scott, there have been 23 executions of well-secured, captive prisoners. 27 people have been released for Florida’s Death Row due to wrongful conviction. Executions need to stop NOW.
Please contact Gov. Rick Scott and ask him to halt the unnecessary killing of prisoners. FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY:
Choose one, or all four if you can!
- Write email letters and call Governor Rick Scott. Ask him to halt all executions and order a thorough review of Florida’s Death Penalty program. It is fully within his power to do so. Other Florida governors (i.e., Jeb Bush) have ordered moratoriums on executions.
- Contact Gov. Scott and ask him to convene the Board of Executive Clemency and commute the sentence of Death Warranted Mark Asay to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
- Sign up to receive future action alerts and news from Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty at FADP’s “Subscribe” page.
- Forward this action to a friend (or five!) and have them contact Governor Scott too!
