Death Penalty

Feb. 2, 2010
Kansas SB375 to abolish the death penalty passed the Senate Judiciary committee in Kansas last week by a vote of 7 to 4. The bill now moves to the Senate floor, where a vote is expected to take place in the next few weeks.

If you are a Kansas resident, call and/or write your Senators and let them know your opinion about this matter. If you need help finding the name and address of your Senator or would like help with composing a letter, drop me a line at bwood@mvfr.org.

If you know a Kansas resident, ask them to call and/or write their Senators and share their opinion about this matter.
