Stan Tookie Williams
I dunno if everyone has heard of Stan Tookie Williams. He founded the Crips and went to jail. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and it's estimated he's stopped 150,000 kids from joining gangs with his books and writings. He is on death row in California and his execution date is December 13th. Soooo people are trying to get Schwarzenegger to pardon him.

Potential Live Call-in from Death Row with Stan "Tookie" Williams
This is really upsetting. It is becoming more and more clear that the death penalty is not acceptable. Now we're going to execute a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
