Dear Governor Perry,
I urge you to put aside politics for a couple hours this weekend and look into the life of Steven Woods, scheduled to be executed in your state on Tuesday after being wrongfully convicted and then confined 24 hours a day for the past nine years. It is my sincere hope that this issue will draw your serious attention and you will feel it necessary to intervene.
Woods has maintained his innocence since he was arrested, and he swears that he will do so until he dies.
Our country should not turn its back on its citizens' rights as they suffer in confinement for a decade, while paying for someone else's crimes. This is not a matter of abolition, but wrongful conviction. The evidence supporting Steven Woods' wrongful conviction is overwhelming. Provided below is more information that I hope will help you better understand Woods' case:

This just in:

An amendment to a bill to allow same-sex marriage in New Hampshire was sent to committee on Wednesday, putting the future of the measure in doubt.

Earlier today the Senate passed the few changes Governor Lynch demanded last week and it was expected that the House would also approve the amendment seeking to protect churches from lawsuits.

But by a vote of 188-186 the house failed this afternoon to agree with the NH Senate and the Governor. By sending the bill back to committee, the House has given themselves the option of bringing the bill back up this session.

We love our animals here on Daily Kos. Pooties and Woozles abound (while I have two cats and one very ancient dog, I have to admit not knowing which one is a pootie and which one is a woozle!). I have to wonder, though, how many Kossacks really consider what a diet based on animal protein does to animals, our bodies and to our environment.

It looks like perhaps Obama hired Judd Gregg for a job that he doesn't even trust him to do properly.

This just in from Politico:

As we've been reporting for the last couple of days, the Obama administration is considering placing a buffer between Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg and the Census Bureau to alleviate concerns among black and Latino leaders that he would try to downsize census outreach efforts.

CQ's Jonathan Allen moves the ball a bit the is morning, citing unnamed administration sources saying the bureau would likely report directly to the White House.

That's consistent with what we've been hearing from Hill staffers, though there may be a twist.

Sources on the Hill close to these negotiations say the Census would, more or less by default, would fall under the jurisdiction of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. That would be fine for Dems; But how would it sit with Republicans to have the former head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee exert control over the bureau that provides data used in redistricting?

I discovered Daily Kos sometime last summer. I didn't join until recently, but was a passionate lurker, reading many of the diaries, scrolling down through the comments, smiling or scowling as I went. Now I comment when I feel like it, but I have to say....

...I am Impygirl and I am an addict.

I am addicted to Daily Kos. I log on several times a day (most days of the week), and read the front page stories, scan the diaries, reading what is interesting, and commenting if I am in the mood or have something new to offer. I like to rec comments that I find clever, instructive or insightful, and I rec diaries that are relevant and interesting.

But the real problem is I cannot put Daily Kos down. I need to write. I need to work at my computer (at home), and whenever my brain gets stuck or I am struggling to finish a chapter I just log onto to Daily Kos. Typical escapism. Huff Po was my gateway drug, but Daily Kos is the real thing.

Is it willpower or a disease?
