Attorney General Bill Lockyer Is Trying To Get Kevin Killed Tonight!!

by STOP LOCKYER, FREE KEVIN
California's Attorney General Bill Lockyer, displeased by the temporary stay, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn it and allow the execution to proceed.

"The stay is contrary to this Court's pronouncements regarding the inappropriateness of granting equitable relief to condemned inmates in the eleventh hour," Lockyer wrote.

"The order of the Ninth Circuit constitutes an unwarranted intrusion on California's ability to carry out a lawful and final judgment that has been the subject of over 18 years of post conviction appeals."

Bill Lockyer pretends to be a friend of the left but this shows where his sympathies really lie. Instead of allowing a court to hear evidence about Kevin, he wants Kevin MURDERED tonight. Make sure Lockyer knows that if he gets his way he has Kevin's blood on his hands. Lockyer has appeared at several Bay Area labor rallies recently and we should shout him off stage if he has the nerve to show up at a progressive venue again.

Will Bill Lockyer go out of his way to have a black man murdered just to make white Democrats feel that the state party is tough on crime?

by People should still protest tonight
So get on out there!

Monday, February, 9
Rally at Remillard Park in Larkspur between 6pm and 7pm
March to San Quentin along East Sir Francis Drake Blvd.

We'll keep fighting for Kevin Cooper's life up until the last moment. The best way to keep the pressure on is to let the prison officials and the governor know that we will march, we will be heard, and we will let the world know that we will not sit idly by while an innocent man is strapped down and legally lynched.
Protest at the East Gate of San Quentin Begins at 8pm
To come directly to the San Quentin protest at the East Gate, follow the same driving instructions as for the march and park on Francisco Blvd.

The state's Attorney General office is weighing its option to appeal the 9th Circuit Court's stay by petitioning the Supreme Court.

We need to flood Bill Lockyer Attorney General's office with phone calls, fax, email right now.

Send an email message, write a note and fax, and call state Attorney General Bill Lockyer's office and tell him: "I am calling to demand that the Attorney General does not appeal the stay of execution for Kevin Cooper to the Supreme Court. The Kevin Cooper case represents all of the flaws of the death penalty and should not take place."

We know that it is not the courts who will gain the freedom of Kevin Cooper and the over 600 others on death row in California but the rising tide against the racist death penalty!!!

The Supreme Court case brought by that good death penalty Democrat Attorney General Lockyer is at:http://search.access.gpo.gov/supreme-court/SearchRight.asp?ct=Supreme-Court-Dockets&q1=Kevin+Cooper&x=40&y=25
with the main website being:

Attorney General Bill Lockyer is a Democrat, a proud member of that death penalty party, the Democratic Party, the twin of that other death penalty party, the Republican Party. If you oppose the death penalty, NEVER vote for any Democrat or Republican at any level of government, even if they give lip service to opposing the death penalty or specific executions, becaus their party supports the death penalty and thus they are playing a con game to keep you from voting for the anti-death penalty parties, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party.

We have an election coming up on March 2, 2004, and you can vote now by absentee. Please vote Yes on 56 and No on all the other propositions and only vote for the anti-death penalty parties, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party, which have lots of candidates on the ballot. If you find a position that has no candidates from either of these parties at any level of government, skip that position. The message the death penalty parties must receive if we are to advance is that you will not vote for any candidate who is a member of a death penalty party and you will vote for candidates who belong to either anti-death penalty party, Peace & Freedom Party or the Green Party, every chance you get.

I'll call tomorrow and fax, too.

What a pig.

Why is it always whitie against black and liberal against conservative, when you run out of any real arguements?

This is not about prejudice (except yours), it is about crime and punishment. Without punishment, you (and I mean YOU!) would spread hate and bigotry at will.

Death is a civilized punishment for some uncivilized crimes. It has been since the beginning of humanity, and we are no where near seeing the end of the need for it.
