Prosecutors and Politicians

Many caring people have the impression their voice alone will simply fall upon deaf ears; their single letter will have no importance.
This is not true at all! Of course, politicians will prefer to ignore anything which will not benefit them, but even so, the individual should yet express themselves for their own satisfaction, and when you add a single voice, letter to another letter or voice it is the beginning of "UNITY," the beginning of voices and letters which WILL BE NOTICED. And it is time for you to take action whether or not you oppose or support capital punishment.
It has become a weapon for politicians; it does not prevent anything, nor does an execution resolve problems. It is like a bomb we can create a bomb to destroy but cannot create one to create, and revenge for the victim's family....If revenge actually produces comfort or cures then wars would not ever cease!! If revenge was so loved and the solution it would not be hated, persecuted, feared by the public.
If so sweet, why want justice when revenge can be your justice? Why punish youth, adults who are raised seeing examples as teachers, guides and using both - Suddenly revenge is wrong and evil, to execute me or anyone of is depriving society!! It victimizes innocent people who were wrongfully convicted; it victimizes families who have done nothing and it victimizes human nature because capital punishment is simply barbaric, forget religious reasons or explanations it isn't a
deterrent and consider its cost, whom it truly benefits: prosecutors and politicians.
We request you send a letter directly to Governor Chiles, the Florida Supreme Court opposing these four scheduled executions for March and all future executions. We request you unite and send also petitions to the same individuals and places in reality if society feels it is taking revenge upon me or anyone of us sentenced to death consider the truth you're constantly hearing excuses money is lacked for education, more police protection, better housing, health care etc. etc. so in truth you're giving yourself Revenge, tell an innocent child dying of a disease which needs a cure they're second to Revenge, if money on capital punishment was invested in such productive things donations and fund raising, excuses wouldn't be given or necessary.
