I learned about the story of Gaile Owens today from an old college friend on Facebook. Please take a moment to go read her story and sign the petition to commute her death sentence. Gaile is a battered woman serving on death row in Tennessee - convicted of hiring a man to kill her highly abusive husband. The State has requested an execution date for her after she's exhausted all apparent appeals. Visit the site and read her story - you will be moved.

Dear Sirs,
Throughout this week, I'll be discussing the death penalty at my site, http://acts17verse28.blogspot.com/. The series started http://acts17verse28.blogspot.com/2010/11/taking-faith-behind-bars.html. I welcome you to read and comment. God willing, our nation will come to its senses and abolish this barbaric system.
Thank you, and thank you for the work you do.
