Greetings All!

Big News - On Friday, Jeb Bush announced a new 
moratorium on executions in Florida and a Federal 
judge extended one in California - both having to 
do with the constitutionality of lethal 
injection, so they will likely be 
short-lived.  Nevertheless, the killing is put 
off.  Read more about it 
here:  http://www.fadp.org/news/newsindex.html 
Now sure would be a good time for that letter to 
the editor, pointing out how this exhibits just 
one more failure in the system we call "capital punishment..."

Now, for those of you still shopping for the 
holidays or other occasions, please consider the following several items:

#1 - If you are shopping for *anything* on-line, 
start by clicking through the Amazon.com link at 
the bottom of www.CUADP.org and a percentage will 
help support the movement to abolish the death penalty.

#2 - IF you order by TUESDAY night, on or before 
Wednesday CUADP can ship any in-stock 
AbolitionWear item or the below-described SPECIAL OFFERS!

#3 - NOTE THAT THERE IS SOME NEW STUFF!  See 
www.abolitionwear.org for the still in progress 
new AbolitionWear web page.  The page has been 
stuck at its current level of assembly because I 
have been to busy to finish it and CUADP's main 
volunteer web designer's mother had a stroke, so 
she's been a bit tied up.  Nevertheless, you can 
see NEW shirts, stickers and buttons at 
www.ABOLITIONWEAR.org and you can order them 
using the secure donation form at 
https://www.compar.com/donation/donateform.html 
by USING THE COMMENTS SECTION to describe what you want.

#4 - SPECIAL ITEMS!  SUPPLY IS LIMITED!

SIGNED COPIES of the new book by Joan Cheever, 
and the Dead Man Walking CD Reissue/Concert DVD 
Package.  Only 12 of each are available.  Check this out:

BACK FROM THE DEAD: One Woman's Search For The 
Men Who Walked Off America's Death Row, by JOAN CHEEVER

This new book was officially released in the U.S. 
on July 2, the anniversary of Gregg v. 
Georgia.  Author Joan Cheever gave a talk about 
her book and the story behind it that night as 
part of the evening Teach-In series at the Fast & 
Vigil.  The film of that talk will hopefully be 
available soon.  In any case, the books didn't 
show up until the next day, which is how CUADP 
happens to have a case of hard backs.

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO aired an interview with Joan on Morning Edition:

>You can listen to the report at:

>Morning Edition, August 17, 2006 · Joan Cheever, author of Back from the
>Dead, followed former death row inmates who were released when the Supreme
>Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972.
>
>Cheever talks to Steve Inskeep about what she found.

The cover price is $24.95.  CUADP will kick in 
shipping for a minimum suggested donation of $25 
(or more).  You can get a better deal on 
Amazon.com, but it would not be helping the 
movement.  See below for how to order!
