California: Stop Rushing Executions

In their rush to resume executions in California, Governor Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Brown are ignoring the court order that halts executions.

New lethal injection procedures were recently approved by a state agency, but those procedures have NOT been approved by a judge and an injunction against executions has NOT been lifted. Despite that, state officials have attempted to resume executions. A Marin judge recently ruled again that the time-out on executions remains in place. But the Governor and AG have not stopped — they are moving forward with preparing for an execution and asking for more execution dates.

When dealing with the lives of people and the welfare of victims’ families, the state cannot rush into something that may have devastating implications. Even more obviously, they cannot simply ignore the courts.

Tell the Governor and Attorney General that the full legal process must be finished before they can resume executions.

In their haste to resume executions in California, the Governor and the Attorney General have not considered the impact this process has on the victims’ families. With all the lawsuits still pending, any execution date set now will almost certainly be rescheduled. The Attorney General and the Governor need to go to court and get the legal questions answered before putting family members through this roller coaster.

California: Stop Rushing Executions

The bald eagle, America’s symbol of national freedom, apparently doesn’t hold a candle to the gun lobby’s perceived freedom to poison this beautiful bird.

You can thank U.S. EPA. On Friday, gun-lovers won a crucial battle against conservationists and wildlife when, in a surprising move, the agency rejected a request (pdf) from environmental groups for a ban on lead in gun ammunition and tackle.

The Center for Biological Diversity, American Bird Conservancy and other groups argue lead toxins are wreaking havoc on the environment and have some startling numbers to back up the claim, including:

–Up to 20 million birds and other animals are killed each year as a result of lead poisoning.

–At least 75 wild bird species, including bald eagles and endangered California condors, are poisoned by spent lead ammo.

–About 87,000 tons of lead are released into the environment each year as a result of hunting, fishing and shooting ranges. As Change.org Animals blogger Martin Matheny recently pointed out, that’s as many tons as there are in the U.S. Navy’s largest vessel.

–Humans who eat game shot down with lead ammo face serious health risks. A recent study found that up to 87 percent of cooked fowl killed by lead ammo can contain unsafe lead levels.
