 Hello, Long time no See, I’ve completely Stopped Blogging at Myspace, spend a lot of time at Care2, and also find it easier to leave comments & Blogs at WindowsLive Space.. Please see me at those places.. However here is what I wanted to share with you.. On June 18, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Innocence Project client William Osborne access to DNA testing that can prove his innocence. Please join me in signing the Innocence Project's petition for DNA access today. While the decision is disappointing, it is limited - and it brings new urgency to making sure every state provides DNA access.I just wanted to share with you today this important piece of News and one Petition that needs your signature; despite being worried that this Blog System at this Network screws up my blog by mixing up sentences and paragraphs and separating lines where there should not be separation (and more). Sorry if it does it but to edit it is useless, so I have to leave it like that. http://www.freedommarchusa.org/ http://www.innocenceproject.org/dna-petition http://www.innocenceproject.org/dna-petition What’s wrong with the Government allowing this to happen here, this is Another Disgusting Example of Undemocratic Government & Big Business Corruption, wasteful spending, discrimination and Crimes against Humanity!!”.

Get connected to stay informed and take action 2. Donate to the Innocence Project 3. Build relationships with elected representatives 4. Connect with a local Innocence Network organization 5. Reach out to the media 6. Become more knowledgeable about wrongful convictions – and spread the word 7. Engage allies in addressing wrongful convictions 8. Work with prisoners and their families in your community 9. Learn about local procedures and help improve them Many of the causes of wrongful convictions are decided locally. For example, policies and procedures about conducting lineups and recording interrogations are often set by city and county agencies. As a concerned community member, you have the right to know what the local practices are. Contact the city police, county sheriff and/or other local agencies to find out what they’re currently doing and what the process is for evaluating and revising their policies. If their procedures and policies are not adequate for preventing wrongful convictions, urge decision-makers to change them and reach out to Innocence Network groups to let them know what you’ve learned. For more information and practical tips, see 10. Host a local fundraising and educational event
You, your friends or a group you belong to can organize an event to raise money for the Innocence Project and educate people about wrongful convictions. Some people hold small house parties for six people, while others organize events for 100. Whatever you can do will help spread the word and support our work.
Many exonerees and their families talk about how isolated and ignored prisoners feel. Find a local group that works with prisoners and volunteer to get involved however you’re needed – whether it’s helping in a prison organization’s office or providing support to prisoners and their families. For links to organizations providing a range of services, go to
Everyone is impacted by wrongful convictions, but some individuals and groups aren’t yet involved in preventing injustice. Ask your friends, colleagues and community organizations to get involved when policy reforms are being discussed; encourage them to join the Innocence Project’s online community. Offer to speak about wrongful convictions at a local Rotary, Kiwanis, or similar civic groups’ meeting. You can address the group yourself, or you can ask a local Innocence Network representative or professor to speak. During the speech, encourage people to become more actively involved in these issues.
There are scores of books, films, television specials and other resources that can deepen people’s understanding of the causes of wrongful convictions, the need for reform, the challenges people face after exoneration and other issues. Spend some time learning more about the issues, and then share books or films with your friends, coworkers or community members (some of them are great gifts!).
When a local or national media outlet runs a story about an exoneration or the causes of wrongful convictions, call or write to the reporter to say you are pleased to see the coverage and interested in seeing additional stories on these issues. Share your perspective and thoughts about why wrongful convictions must be discussed and addressed. Write letters to the editor in response to articles or editorials so that the media – and policymakers who are in a position to help prevent wrongful convictions — know that the public is concerned about these issues. For more information and practical tips, see
Three dozen organizations around the country belong to the Innocence Network, and many of them work on these issues at the state and local levels. You may be able to help with their policy reform efforts, their community outreach, or other aspects of their work – in a professional capacity or as a volunteer. To find a local Innocence Network contact, go to
Call or meet with your state and federal representatives well before the legislative session starts and discuss your concerns. By simply introducing yourself to your legislators and their staff before the session starts and providing a brief overview of innocence-related policy concerns, you can establish useful relationships with them and help them see the value of supporting legislation that would protect the innocent. When the session starts, they may reach out to you or take your call because they know you’re actively involved in these issues. For more information and practical tips, see

Another piece of information I found for linking to and joining and supporting and contributing and all the rest; is FREEDOM MARCH
We are in the process of organizing a nationwide freedom march on
behalf of all wrongfully convicted people. The march will be held on
June 27, 2009 at 10:00am C.S.T. Groups will march to the steps of each
state's capitol building and hold signs and banners with faces of
wrongfully convicted people. Detailed information is available at

What they’re doing is Legalizing Murder as well, by murdering many innocent victims, not to mention the Mentally Ill: William Osborne is imprisoned in Alaska, which is one of three states without a law granting DNA access. The Innocence Project is working to make sure every prisoner in the U.S. with a valid claim of innocence has access to DNA testing. Will you join me in supporting this critical cause? (The other two are Massachusetts and Oklahoma.) Alabama and Kentucky are among the states with laws that are too narrow to apply to most prisoners with valid claims.
