[DP-Announce] Anti death penalty events on Jan. 25 & 26 in Houston

[Rich Woodward]

Friends,
On Friday Jan. 25, Mike Farrell, former star of "M*A*S*H" and 
currently appearing on "Desperate Housewives," will host a screening 
of the classic motion picture, "I Want To Live!" on January 25th at 
The Angelika Theatre in Houston.  Film buffs, "M*A*S*H" fans, or 
opponents of the death penalty will want to attend (that should cover 
everyone). More details below.

On Saturday, Jan. 26 TCADP will hold its annual meeting at the Crowne 
Plaza Houston West in Houston.  This annual conference is always a 
great opportunity to learn about what is being done to eliminate the 
death penalty.  Mike Farrell will be the keynote speaker at the 
conference.

To register for either event, visit TCADP's web site at 
http://www.tcadp.org/
If you plan to attend either event, please let me know as there are 
people looking to cooperate in transportation. 

The screening on Friday is a fundraising event for Texas Coalition to 
Abolish The Death Penalty, which hopes to use the event to ensure a 
full-time staff member to assist members of the Legislature with 
research, run public education programs and provide support for 
students, local organizations and members of the media wanting to 
raise awareness or study the death penalty in Texas.

Susan Hayward won an Academy Award for her role in "I Want To Live!, 
portraying Barbara Graham, a woman who was executed by the state of 
California in 1955 despite the fact that she may have been innocent.
