[Death Penalty Signs] Three executions scheduled for this week

[Rich Woodward]

Three men are scheduled to be executed this week: Larry Swearingen on 
Tuesday 1/27, Virgil Martinez on Wednesday and Ricardo Ortiz on 
Thursday.  

For those able, pleas come out and suppuport our protests at the 
corner of Texas Ave. and Walton from 5:30-6:00.  If you have a sign, 
please post it during the day, though to avoid theft it would be 
better if you brought your signs in over night.

There are serious concerns about the guilt of Swearingen.  This means 
2 things.  First, there's a decent chance for a stay on Tuesday.  
I'll try to post an update if anything happens.  If there is not a 
stay, please come out and protest the execution of a man for a murder 
he most likely did not commit.  Second, please contact the Governor's 
office to urge the governor to grant a stay of the  execution of 
Larry Swearingen (800) 252-9600.  

The Houston Chronicle details the problems with Swearingen's case in
