NOW IS THE TIME for the Governor to hear how many Ohioans are against the death penalty. Please take the time to send a handwritten letter to Governor Strickland explaining why you are against the death penalty. Whether it’s one sentence or one page, it will be one more person he hears from saying “not in our name”. Each letter will make that much more of a difference!!
