The moratorium is official and the federal executions have stopped. My hands are shaking as I type this because after so many long nights I never truly believed they would actually listen. Stay alert because the work to ensure this stays permanent starts now.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it reminds me how many people are exhausted by this broken system. I am tired of the silence from the top, but seeing this momentum keeps me moving forward.

WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!!!! put the funds into something that actually helps people.
The system is biased and messed up. Justice isnt justice if it only hits certain groups of people harder than others.
Finally someone is pushing for this. way past time to end these federal executions.
its 2016 we should be past this by now. stop the killing.
Too many mistakes have been made. Innocent people get caught up in this and there is no coming back once it is done. End it now.
