Do Not Execute Joseph Nichols!

Joseph Nichols received a death sentence for his role in the murder of
Claude Shaffer in 1980.  Nichols was not the triggerman.  Schaffer died of a
single shot to the back, and Willie Ray Williams confessed to shooting him
after Nichols exited the store.  Williams was executed in 1995.  Nichols'
first trial was dismissed after jurors could not unanimously agree upon a
punishment.  Also, Nichols claims ineffective assistance of counsel

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Rick Perry requesting that he stop the execution
of Joseph Nichols!

Do Not Execute Kenneth Biros!

The state of Ohio is scheduled to execute Kenneth Biros on March 20 for the
1991 murder of Tami Engstrom.

At his trial, Biros' family members testified that his father was
emotionally abusive, and that Biros suffered from depression, drinking
problems, and schizoid personality disorder.  Also, Biros claims ineffective
assistance of counsel during part of his appeals. 

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Ted Strickland requesting that Kenneth Biros's
execution be halted!
