1,535 9:14 pm PDT, Jun 19 Mrs. Diana Perry How can all those police,medical workers, prosecutors,lawyers and especially his parents live with their actions? So many corrupt people but the parents created the juvenile record that helped to condenm him. Please wake up all parents and love and work with your kids without getting them into the system. Raising children isn't always easy but its your child and your duty. Love them. Build trust that goes both ways and no matter what always be there for them.

1,517 11:52 am PDT, May 9   Bente Hjortshøj No country should execute its own citizens, guilty or not, especially because the system is broken, innocent people land on deatn row because of the flawed system. It is immoral, inhumane, NOT cheaper and NOT a deterrent! It is a cruel and unusual pusnishment, NOT worthy of a nation such as the USA. Thus, spare Michael's life too!

1,507 7:01 am PDT, Apr 23 Mr. Peter Bellamy Justice is not served by the death penalty.
1,505 9:28 am PDT, Apr 20 Ms. Anonymous I have done a lot of research on many types of different but related sittuations. This is very sad. While I am no expert and can not give a professional opinion after everything I have read, seen, and researched I do believe justice has not been done here. God Bless you Michael and you will be in my prayers.
1,504 9:30 pm PDT, Apr 18 Mrs. Judith Aldridge  
1,503 2:09 pm PDT, Apr 18 Mr. Paul Ames Sadly the State of Texas proposes to finish the process of killing Michael Perry - a process it started when he was a baby.....this is a tragic case and another example of why the death penalty is so crazy. Free Michael Perry.
1,502 6:44 pm PDT, Apr 16   RoseAnne Cleary I shall pass this on to the other members of Cherish Life Circle, a group dedicated to abolishing the death penalty. Be assured I will do this with prayer and will follow Michael's case. I have a 27-year-old adopted son named Michael who has survived many difficulties, and I wish Michael Perry the chance to do the same.

Save Michael James Perry

This petition is an urgent plea to you!
You, the concerned people across the nation and worldwide. You, the taxpayers of Texas, the media, the religious groups, ACLU, supporters of Amnesty International, and all other human rights organizations. And to you, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Governor, and legislators of Texas.

There is an innocent young man about to be murdered by the State of Texas!
His name is Michael James Perry and he needs your help.

Please take a few moments to put yourself in his position.
Imagine his life as it was all those years ago. Imagine his family, his friends, his freedom…
And now imagine that in an instant everything is taken away from him. He is condemned to a life spent inside a room the size of a small bathroom, waiting to be killed.
Imagine a life at the mercy of people who no longer care! People who won't listen to the facts! People who see him as just another number taking up space! Imagine his time running out and he has nowhere to turn! Imagine the truth being out there, just out of reach because no one will help him bring it to light!

Now imagine he is you! Imagine he is your brother, your father, your son, your friend! What would you do to save their lives, to save your own?

Michael Perry isn't just another face in the crowd, a number, a body waiting to be disposed of. He is a human being wrongly convicted for a crime he did not commit.
He is us, he is you, he is me, he is our family, our next door neighbor, he is our friend!
If the State of Texas can murder him as an innocent man, they can do it to anyone of us!

It's time to stop Texas from killing!
Please - take a moment to read a letter from Michael, visit his web page and read his case, see the photos of his beaten body after his arrest. And then please sign his petition, put a stop to the injustice. Let Texas know you won’t support them as they kill man after man after innocent man!

On behalf of Michael - We thank you!

We, the undersigned, demand justice for Michael James Perry. We steadfastly believe the facts on record prove Michael’s claims of actual innocence and ineffective assistance of counsel. We urge those in power to overturn his wrongful conviction and set him free, or at the very least, provide him the fair trial to which he is constitutionally entitled.

Respectfully,

The Undersigned
