[Ppnews] Tell Schwarzenegger not to Appeal prison ruling!

[Political Prisoner News]

CALL NOW for HUMAN RIGHTS!

The federal courts have ordered a reduction in 
the California prison population by 44,000 over 
the next 2 years to relieve the inhumane 
conditions caused by overcrowding.   Governor 
Schwarzenegger has  said he will appeal—we have 
until September 3rd to change his decision!

·        The judges found conditions in prison to 
be so unhealthy that prisoners’ constitutional 
rights are being violated, amounting to cruel and 
unusual punishment.  And we know that the vast 
majority of these prisoners are Black, Latino and low-income people.

·        The judges also assert that reducing the 
prison population by 44,000 will NOT threaten public safety.

·        Reducing the prison population WILL free 
up billions of dollars for real public safety: 
education, health care and services.

Make 3 critical calls NOW and help spread the word!

Call Governor Schwarzenegger:
    * Urge him to stand for human rights and NOT 
appeal the federal court order on prison overcrowding
    * Tell him that reducing prison overcrowding 
WILL improve conditions and will NOT threaten public safety.
