Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 In Ammachi's presence perhaps Ohio officials seeking execution would melt. The cumulative prayers of all have effect. This week I drove 7 hours.. in order to be present in Lucasville Ohio where the state of Ohio had planned to murder a prisoner, Jay D Scott, someone in jail for 18 years for having shot someone. AT had sent me a tape of Swami chanting the Gayatri but my car tape player has been broken for several months. Suddenly as I was listening to the radio, Baba's tape kicked in.. and for several hours I cracked the window so that His chant could float over the air. When I arrived, I was told that 53 minutes before the execution, the Ohio Supreme Court had granted a reprieve while they consider the issues. Over 100 members of Amnesty International, the ACLU, Catholic churches, university groups, abolitionist media and others were there in the freezing rain. Some had been for months vigiling and praying outside Governor Taft's Bexley Ohio mansion. The US Supreme Court is presently considering the case of a Virginia man whose attorney had 3 days previous represented the victim, and the case of a NC man who is mentally retarded. Swami bless the state of Wisconsin which has not murdered anyone since the 1850's. Swami thank You for the grace of reprieve. Please make it permanent, for Ohio, the US, and the nations which have not yet joined the 106 abolition countries. Please take 30 seconds to write Governor.Taft@d... to ask for clemency. He has already denied it twice. May Swami melt all hearts. http://www.otse.org http://www.state.oh.us The abolition community is beginning to boycott multinational corporations based in execution states. In Ohio are Procter and Gamble, Wendy's, and BP/Amoco, as well as First Energy, Dominion and others. In Texas are American Airlines, Clear Channel, SBC Ameritech, Shell/Texaco, Dean Foods, Supreme Beef, etc. In Florida are Disney, the US headquarters of Burger King and others. In Georgia are CNN and Coca Cola. CNN has not covered the many Texas executions occurring before the presidential elections. In Missouri are Monsanto, Purina, Annheuser Busch. Thank You Swami for ending human murder, and all forms of violence to Your creatures.
