		<description><![CDATA[This insanity has got to stop! Good for Huffington Post for having the imminent execution of Troy Davis as their headline story. The list of celebrities and politicians calling for a stay is tremendous and extends to former FBI chief William Sessions. People (read anyone in Georgia with the power to stop this execution) need to take their egos out of this. A man&#8217;s life or death is not the proper subject over which one engages in a &#8220;pissing contest&#8221;. Yes, it takes a tremendous human being to step back and look if they have made a mistake and take their ego out of the equation and the world is not filled with a huge number of said humans but this is just insanity to the highest degree. Sorry to be such a misanthrope this morning but seriously what kind of society do we live in that allows innocent people to be executed in the name of &#8220;finality&#8221; in the law or some other legal fiction. This case has all the classic elements of wrongful conviction, faulty identification procedures, hearsay, jailhouse snitch, the list goes on. Check out the Huffington Post story - this has got to stop!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dallas chapter of Amnesty International organized a rally for the international day of solidarity for Troy Davis who has a strong claim of innocence. True story- I walk up to a big, black, shiny, washed truck with a white, wealthy looking, blond, long sleeved, collared, pink, polo shirt and a big gold college ring wearing guy driving. He asks me what this is all about (a bunch a people between the ages of 3 and 70 wearing bright blue shirts with the words &#8221; I am Troy Davis&#8221; written on them standing on the corner of the west village) I told him Troy Davis is innocent and in prison (sorry amnesty my words you are not responsible for my omitting &#8220;strong claim&#8221; before innocence) and on death row in Georgia. He says to me &#8220;what did the guy do&#8221; and I say &#8220;He is innocent he didn&#8217;t do anything&#8221; and the guy then says &#8220;You don&#8217;t go to prison for not doing anything.&#8221; And I am like uh where have you been &#8211; &#8220;Have you seen the news lately we have 23 people in Dallas County who were wrongfully convicted!&#8221; And then the red light turned green and our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got this email alert from Amnesty today. Thank you God!!!! Dear Kristina, Just hours ago, we heard big news that proves that miracles do happen! The U.S. Supreme Court granted Troy Davis the chance to finally present crucial evidence in court that may prove his innocence. Until now, Troy has been denied the opportunity to present all the facts supporting his case. But after a 6-2 ruling from the nation&#8217;s highest court, Troy will get that chance at justice we&#8217;ve been fighting for since day one. The power that we&#8217;ve seen building behind Troy&#8217;s case is awe-inspiring. Your heart-felt emails, letters, phone calls and actions are opening doors that many said were shut for good. It&#8217;s working. But we won&#8217;t stop pushing until Troy Davis is granted clemency! Right now, Troy Davis sits on death row. So keep telling his story to those who haven&#8217;t heard it. Keep hoping for more miracles, because given today&#8217;s news, it&#8217;s clear – anything is possible! We can&#8217;t say it enough – thank you, Laura Moye Director, Death Penalty Abolition Campaign]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following is an email I recieved from Amnesty International. Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court delayed a decision on whether to grant Troy Davis an appeal until after it returns from recess in September. The court&#8217;s decision (or non-decision) should be taken as a good sign. It gives us hope that at least some Supreme Court Justices may finally be waking up to the strong claims of innocence in this case and want to take more time to weigh the facts. We are convinced that if the justices agree to hold a hearing and allow all evidence to be weighed, then they will come to see what we have known all along – the pieces just don&#8217;t add up. When Davis was sentenced to death for the 1989 shooting of a police officer in Savannah, there was an absence of any physical evidence against him. Furthermore, the majority of witnesses who testified against him then, have now recanted or changed their stories altogether. Troy&#8217;s case continues to inspire the support of millions of activists and countless leaders speaking on behalf of human rights, including former President Jimmy Carter and Archbishop Desmond TuTu. Our activism has already put the U.S. Supreme [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday May 19, 2009 is Global Day of Action for Troy Davis. Troy&#8217;s lawyers will be filing a writ of habeas corpus to the supreme court on tuesday. To learn more about his case and for a link to the Amnesty International online petition visit his website. Another great resource is this article. There is a protest scheduled for the capital steps in Georgia on Tuesday from 6-8 pm. I suggest that what we can do in Texas is pray for Troy Davis during that time. Pray to whatever God you believe in and if you do not believe in God please just send positive thoughts Troy&#8217;s way! When enough people join together change can happen and Troy needs our help even though he is not in Texas. Knowingly executing an innocent person has happened in the history of our country but this is happening now. I would hope that we as a nation are even more evolved than to knowingly condone our country murdering an innocent man while the true perpetrater is likely still free and committing other crimes. Troy was convicted of killing a police officer in Georgia in the parking lot of a fast food chain. There [...]]]></description>

On his website you can click through to sign a petition from amnesty international for his release.
