It is wonderful to know that all of us here helped with one voice to help another human being…

I thank the lake for giving me the opportunity to be a small part of it….

Amen..called last night and hoped he would listen to all those who have called and he did, a bright spot in a sea of gray dust filled souls…humanity reared its beautiful head and Perry listened.

Bush would not have done what Perry has done – no way.

I called the governor’s office yesterday after closing. Left my name, mentioned the previous court rights ruling re rights violation and mentioned something to the effect that letting the execution go through would be a miscarriage of justice that the previous governor would do…

TheOtherWA @ 12

I’m stunned and thrilled.

I thought this was lost, just another step on road to barbarism Bush has urged us down. I put it up because it was the right thing to do but didn’t think it was really going to happen. I’m a bit choked up.

This was my reaction as well. Perry’s never paid attn to the niceties of justice in previous public outcries, and I didn’t really think this time would be different.

Still, hope does spring eternal, and we cam win if we don’t fight. The organizers of this campaign were outstanding in getting info out.

Honestly, I think every fight we’ve had in Texas pushing back against the conservative madmen this spring-including the controversy over Perry’s attempt to push through the cervical ca immunizations, and the scandalous goings on in the Texas Legislature with the Speaker claiming more power than g-d all culminated in this small victory.

Tomorrow, we fight again, but today I’m gonna savor this small victory with great appreciation for every one who made it possible.

I’m just coming off of the opening of the school year.
Thank you, all of you, for calling.
Thank you
The picture of Foster and his daughter is wonderful.
Thank you, Jane, for telling the story that I didn’t even read because I didn’t get to the computer to read it.
Thank you FDL readers for calling on this guy’s behalf. This guy… such a mundane word for man who might have been executed for never having committed a murder.
I look at Nydesha and I actually feel joy.

It’s a small thing, esp. since my arguement was sort of dismissed as idealism yesterday, but my LTE against the Foster getting the dp was published yesterday in our local Austin paper. Ahhh, the satisfaction of saying I took the time to put pen to paper. One less death in this state; a small sigh of relief; a piece of good news. Maybe a spot for alittle idealism.

Link? Would love to read it.
