Liberals use Children to try to Save Murderer

I realize I'm a little late to this issue, but it's still disgusting.

Stefanie Faucher stood inside a classroom at Oakland's Street Academy High School last Thursday and asked a class of about thirty teenagers, "Do you want to help Tookie Williams live?"
The students nodded and shouted in agreement. Most had just watched a video about the former Crips leader, convicted of murdering four people in 1979. Williams has since apologized for his role in spreading gang violence and written several children's books condemning his old lifestyle. "Heck yeah," one student yelled out. "Free Tookie."
"Good," said Faucher, projects director for the grassroots group Death Penalty Focus. "Because if the governor does not grant Tookie Williams clemency, he will be executed on December 13." The students drew back in their chairs. Faucher went on to describe the details of lethal injection and electrocution to her equally intrigued and aghast audience. Faucher was conducting one of about twenty "Tookie Teach-Ins" that will occur across the state in the next few weeks.

The children were then instructed to write letters to the Governor asking for clemency.

And just in case they were having trouble forming their own thoughts, she offered the students a form letter to copy. "Make sure you put your name, grade, and school on the letter so he knows who you are," she said. In the end, about 29 letters were bound for Sacramento on behalf of Tookie Williams. Writers were rewarded. Everyone who wrote a letter today gets a bumper sticker or a button," Faucher said, lifting a bag. "Dig in."

I honestly don't know what Arnold will do, but in my opinion, the sooner "Tookie" is in the ground, the better. Michelle Malkin has a good post here.
