The petition to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was turned in to the California Capitol on July 6, 2007 in the hope that a pardon or commutation of sentence can be granted to Keith Henson, currently in jail in Riverside County. Mr. Henson is in jail for a non-threatenng, one-line rejoinder to a joke about a \"Tom Cruise\" missile, together with \"evidence\" in the form of a book that said he was an \"explosive expert,\" a patent he had to fling payloads into space using a large plane (that supposedly proved he knew how to launch missiles at the planet), and testimony about the \"fear\" of his \"victims,\" who in fact are victims of $cientology, not of Keith Henson. They were told of his \"threats\" by Golden Era Productions facilities manager Kenneth Hoden, with whom he was shown talking as he peacefully picketed--Keith\'s actual \"crime.\" As of this date, July 8, 2007, he has \"served\" 2 months of a 6-month sentence for supposedly interfering with the rights of $cientologists to practice their \"religion\"--in reality by picketing the razor-wire compound where they are held as slaves.
The silence from the governors office is pretty loud lately even though I keep sending over the new comments from all of you. It really makes me wonder if they have even bothered to look at the absurd evidence they used to lock Keith up in the first place because honestly the whole situation is just exhausting.

One hundred people just put their names down for Keith because the absurdity of this situation is finally hitting home for everyone. I keep staring at this screen thinking about those prison walls while my coffee goes cold but at least we are finally getting some traction on this.

This is total insanity. Guy is getting locked up for a joke? Free speech is dead in this state.

The courts are completely out of line here. Everyone knows what kind of people were behind this complaint.

Keep him in jail for a bad joke? Give me a break. Someone needs to wake up and look at the real facts here.
