Contact House and Senate Criminal Justice Committees regarding a moratorium on executions
By Texas Moratorium Network On February 17, 2007 · Add Comment · In Uncategorized Contact the members of the two committees in the Texas House and Senate who will be hearing moratorium legislation soon. Ask them to enact a temporary, two year moratorium on executions and to create a commission to study the death penalty in Texas. Let them know that Texas may have executed three innocent people: Ruben Cantu, Cameron Todd Willingham and Carlos De Luna. A moratorium will help prevent more innocent people from being executed in Texas. Tell them that a moratorium is a top priority for you, because if a moratorium is not enacted this year, another innocent person could be executed. Tell them that a moratorium has been endorsed by most of the major newspaper editorial boards in Texas.While executions have slowed in other states, the torrid pace continues in Texas. So far in 2007, there have been five executions in the U.S. and four of them were in Texas. Through March, there are seven more executions scheduled in the U.S. and six of them are in Texas.Criminal Justice Committees in 80th Texas Legislature House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee: Name Party District Counties Phone Aaron Pena (Chair)email Pena D 40 Hildago-part 512-463-0426 Allen Vaught (Vice)email Vaught D 107 Dallas-part 512-463-0244 Debbie Riddleemail Riddle R 150 Harris-part 512-463-0572 Juan Escobaremail Escobar D 43 Jim Hogg, Brooks, Kenedy, Willacy, Cameron-part 512-463-0666 Terri Hodgeemail Hodge D 100 Dallas-part 512-463-0586 Barbara Mallory Carawayemail Mallory Caraway D 110 Dallas-part 512-463-0664 Paul Morenoemail Moreno D 77 El Paso-part 512-463-0638 Paula Hightower Piersonemail Pierson D 93 Tarrant-part 512-463-0562 Robert Taltonemail Talton R 144 Harris-part 512-463-0460 Senate Criminal Justice Committee: Name Party Dist Counties Phone John Whitmire (Chair)email Whitmire D 15 Harris-part 512-463-0115 Kel Seliger (Vice)email Seliger R 31 Andrews, Bailey, Cochran, Crane, Dallam, Deaf Smith, Ector, Gaines, Glasscock, Hansford, Hartley, Hemphill, Howard, Hutchinson, Lipscomb, Martin,Midland,Moore, Ochiltree, Oldham, Parmer, Potter, Randall, Roberts, Sherman, Yoakum 512-463-0131 John Caronaemail Corona R 16 Dallas-part 512-463-0116 Bob Duellemail Duell R 2 Dallas-part, Delta, Fannin, Hopkins, Hunt, Kaufman, Rains, Rockwall, Smith-part, Van Zandt 512-463-0102 Rodney Ellisemail Ellis D 13 Fort Bend-part, Harris –part 512-463-0113 Glenn Hegaremail Hegar R 18 Aransas, Austin, Bastrop, Caldwell, Calhoun, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Fort Bend-part, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca, Matagorda, Refugio, Victoria, Waller, Washington, Wharton 512-463-0118 Juan Hinojosaemail Hinojosa D 20 Brooks, Hidalgo-part, Jim Wells, Nueces 512-463-0120Share this:FacebookTwitterGoogleEmailPrintLike this:Like Loading...
