In less than 30 days, Oregon’s first execution in 14 years could take place. Gary Haugen has waived his appeals, and he could be executed 7:00 p.m. on December 6. This execution must be stopped.
Amnesty International USA, Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (OADP), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon, and the Oregon Capital Resource Center took a major step to stop this execution. They filed a formal petition with Governor John Kitzhaber to grant an indefinite reprieve for Gary Haugen and to appoint a commission to review Oregon’s capital justice system and make recommendations for change or abolition.
We must let Governor Kitzhaber know that the use of the death penalty is unacceptable and Gary Haugen must not be executed. Please send a letter to Governor Kitzhaber to voice your opposition to the death penalty and support of an indefinite reprieve and a moratorium on the death penalty:
Governor John Kitzhaber
Rm 160 Oregon State Capitol
900 Court St. NE
Salem, OR 97301
Oregon must not execute Gary Haugen in our name.
