Free Rodney Reed; exonerate, don't execute.

I sent this to Texas Governor Greg Abbott today:


I would like to make an appointment to speak in person with Governor Abbott about the Rodney Reed case.


While Attorney General Mr. Abbott promised no innocent person would ever be executed in Texas.


Now, Governor Abbott is doing nothing to stop the execution of Rodney Reed.


Had the police and prosecutor conducted the proper kind of investigation into the murder of Miss Stites, Rodney Reed never would have been brought to trial in the first place.


Rodney Reed is the victim of a racist frame-up.


Please let me know when I can come in to speak with Governor Abbott concerning this matter.
