I am a murder victims family member who opposes the death penalty. The taking of another life does not help anyone heal, it just causes more people to suffer. There are groups like Murder Victims Families for Human Rights, Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation and the Journey of Hope...from Violence to Healing that are all led by murder victim families who opposed the death penalty. We all say don't kill for me, we have seen enough. Vote Yes on Proposition 34

If Prop 34 passes, the murderers on death row will cheer and the many murder vicitms' survisors will cry. That is all you need to know.

95% of those who have lost loved ones to death penalty eligible murders support the death penalty, based upon the anecdotal evidence (2). For some time, with different polls and today, 80% of Americans support the death penalty, when the poll, properly, asks about specific "death penalty eligible" murders (1) , as opposed to asking the general question, about all murders, for which about 90% are not death penalty eligible. Death penalty support remains high, throughout the world (1).
