: >In it, I mention that part of the Faulkner website contains some very
: >fundamentalist Christian pro-death-penalty material that also slanders
: >anti-death-penalty activists. That material is no longer accessible (I
: >suspect the Faulkner folk had the political astuteness to pull it), and
: >Vanity Fair wants some confirmation of its existence, at least at the

: >Penalty, I believe), please e-mail me at magicraf@norwich.net. It is
: >necessary to get this material to Vanity Fair ASAP.

: Subject: Re:Petition for Execution
: http://www.e-thepeople.com/petition.cfm?PETID=176272
: The above is a web site where 46 people(as of 8/6/99) have signed on to
: urge Governor Tom Ridge to execute Mumia Abu-Jamal. The petition reads as
: follows:
: Death Penalty for Mumia Abu-Jamal
: The evidence has been provided and is clear that Mr. Jamal executed officer
: Daniel Faulkner on 12/9/1981.A jury in your state found him guilty, and we
: believe the time has come (and is far over due) for this punishment to
: occur. The police officers of our nation, for the family of Mr. Faulkner,
: and for those who deserve a safe nation please carry out this duty
: immediately.
: You can write in with your own opinion. In fact please do. Most of those
: who have written in are those involved in the struggle to free Mumia
: Abu-Jamal and all political prisoners, the struggle against the
: prison-industrial complex and the struggle for human rights.
: Sincerely,
: Benjamin Evans
