TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE: The Plane That\’s Eating the Pentagon

Volume XX No.9: February 27, 2015\"\"

You really want that sports car, or a Mercedes, or a vacation, or a big new house, or some other fancy but unreachable item, but in the end you know that if you buy that you won’t be able to afford anything else. It would mean a ramen noodle diet and a threadbare closet from now to eternity for you and your family. So maybe you put up a picture and daydream a little and hope to win the lottery. But what you don’t do – if you’re responsible – is mortgage everything for that one thing.

That’s what you do if you’re not the Air Force, or the rest of the Pentagon for that matter.

Religious Group Trying to Stop Prisoner\’s Execution Monday Night

 

Tomorrow at 7pm, the state of Georgia is scheduled to execute Kelly Gissendaner, a mother and theologian who has profoundly transformed her life and the lives of many others.

Convicted for planning the 1997 murder of her husband, she experienced utter despair, bitterness, and hopelessness at who she had become.1

Through the ministry of prison chaplains and a theology program in prison, Kelly has become a powerful voice for good in prison.2 She has become a mentor to at-risk youth, a pastoral presence for inmates, a preventer of prison suicides, and a pen-pal of famous theologian Jürgen Moltmann.3

As people of faith, we believe in the power of forgiveness, mercy, and transformation.

Yet despite the testimony of numerous clergy, theology professors, and her two children pleading for their mothers’ life, the Board of Pardons and Paroles condemned Kelly to death.4

We still have a window of opportunity to stop this execution. But it’s closing fast.

Click here to tell Governor Deal to STOP the execution of Kelly Gissendaner – and commute her sentence to life in prison.

Join with us—her friends, teachers, and people who value Kelly’s life—to call on Governor Deal to halt the execution of Kelly Gissendaner.

Join with us to tell him he does have the power to stop Kelly’s execution. Join with us as we gather in faith, prayer, and hope to fight for Kelly.

Tell Governor Deal to STOP the execution of Kelly Gissendaner.

Monday night approaches. Yet, as people of faith, we know that as long as Kelly has breath, hope is still alive. So we must act, while there is still time.

In hope,
Rev. Kimberly S. Jackson, Letitia M. Campbell, and Jeania Ree V. Moore
