Clemency for Stanley Tookie Williams

For those unfamiliar with Noble Peace Prize nominee, Stanley "Tookie" Williams:

Stanley Williams is scheduled to be executed by the State of California on December 13, 2005.

The clemency petition asks Governor Schwarzenegger to exercise his discretionary power to spare Stanley Williams' life. The basis of the petition is Stanley Williams' personal redemption, the hope given to others by his message of education, self-discipline, purpose and peace, and the positive impact his message will continue to have if the Governor spares his life by granting clemency.

Peter Fleming Jr., of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle, LLP, clemency co-counsel for Stanley Williams, states: "We file this petition with faith it will receive conscientious review by Governor Schwarzenegger. We file it with belief, for all the reasons set forth in the petition, that the Governor will exercise clemency and thereby send a message of hope to those for whom Stanley Williams is a symbol of hope."

Snoop, Daz, and other rappers have pledged their support to save Tookie, now hopefully other former gangmembers turned rappers that have realized the problems that they had to go through will step up their efforts also.

Please do all you can to help save this man.
