It's been a crazy few weeks, I was away two Sundays in a row, back home in Vancouver and then in Holbox, an island in the Gulf of Mexico. Then when I got back, my son's father and I decided to move back to Canada in a couple of months so we've been busy planning that. Life is a whirlwind, and looks like it will continue to be until I'm settled back in the homeland, Vancouver, about 3 months from now. So not looking forward to the rain... Alright, so this week we are going to look at organizations fighting the death penalty in each state that still has it. In these tough economic times, the massive expense associated with the death penalty is being highly criticized and it looks like a better time than ever to be fighting the death penalty. Mexico has already repealed the death penalty this year and several other states have seen votes on the topic in their House of Representatives. Here is a list of all the states that continue to sentence offenders to death, and links to organizations to help repeal the death penalty in that state.
