NO MORE JUVENILE DEATH PENALY!

Today the Supreme Court ruled that murderers who have committed their crimes before 18 years of age can NO LONGER be executed. This is a MAJOR victory in the anti-DP fight and of course I'm filled with emotion as it affects me personally. One of my friends walks off death row today.
Thank you to all the anti-DPers who wrote letters, emails, made phone calls, and marched for years to make this day finally happen. Thank you to all the family members of both prisoners and victims, who raised loud voices in opposition to the juvenile death penalty.
Kenyatta Kwame Miles, my dear special friend, RIP. You would have been going home today....
I love you, Ron-Ron loves you, Kevin loves you, and I know you're rejoicing from the sky. You just got to a better Home earlier than everyone else.

Now, as for me, today, I know to expect a flood of emails and letters and phone calls, so I'd better get on the move. It's time to celebrate and I have a very important letter to write. :)
