Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Denies Kenneth's Petition

The Save Kenneth Foster Campaign has officially entered emergency mode with
the announcement that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has denied
Kenneth's final appeal. This outrageous decision shows yet again how
backward the Texas injustice system truly is. Now it is up to the Board of
Pardons and Paroles and Governor Rick Perry to grant Kenneth clemency. It
is also a call to all of us to push harder than ever to SAVE KENNETH
FOSTER!!!!

The State of Texas intends to execute Kenneth Foster on August 30, despite
the fact that he did not murder anyone. Unlike any other state in this
country, Texas utilizes a unique statute called the Law of Parties which
allows the State to subject a person to death even
though he did not kill, intend to kill, help or encourage anyone to do so.

Meanwhile, the Save Kenneth Foster, Jr. Campaign is definitely picking up
steam. We held a highly successful rally on June 21st in downtown
Austin. The rally drew over 200 people who marched and heard from fantastic
speakers and performers. Since then, media coverage has really picked up,
with recent editorials in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram and the Austin
American Statesman calling for clemency for Kenneth Foster, Jr. We have had
radio coverage on Chuck D's show on Air America, Democracy Now, and
more. We have much more planned in the coming weeks, so read below about
how to get involved. To read the latest news coverage:
