Do Not Execute Troy Davis!

Do Not Execute Elijah Page!
The state of South Dakota is set to execute Elijah Page on July 9-13 for the March 2000 murder of Allan Poage in Spearfish, SD. Page was 18 at the time of this crime. His mother allowed drug dealers to molest him in exchange for drugs and his stepfather once use him as a human shield in a drug-related shootout. His trial judge even stated, "Most parents treated their pets better than your parents treated you." Of his two codefendents, one received the death penalty and another received a life sentence.
Page has given up his appeals. This will be South Dakota's first execution in 60 years.
ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Mike Rounds requesting that Elijah Page's execution be halted!
