Dear OTSE Supporter,

I just wanted to send a quick note to share some news and to ask for your help.

First, thanks to everyone who has kicked in so far to help Ohioans to Stop Executions take advantage of the $10,000 matching gift that is on the table. We’re nearly half way there, and when we get all the way to $10K, your dollars will be doubled, and OTSE can put them to use educating Ohioans and aggressively campaigning for reform.

Click here to double your dollars with a one-time gift, or click here to join OTSE’s Sustainer Program by pledging a monthly gift on your credit card. Either way, until we hit $10K, your support goes twice as far! Please note: If you check the box to indicate that your support is for the OTSE Action Fund (to support our lobbying work), your donation is not tax deductible.

And the news? I have several things to share, but one is still in development so I’ll hold that for my next message.

Today I want you to know that folks are still talking about OTSE’s Lobby Day two weeks ago, when we brought six of Ohio’s nine death row survivors to the Statehouse to call for passage of the Task Force reforms which will lessen the likelihood of wrongful convictions and executions in our state. We had good meetings with a number of legislators who want to help and we’re following up with them. There will more on that soon. Click here to watch the press conference with the Ohio members of Witness to Innocence, and share the video on your Facebook and Twitter.

So what’s it worth to you to prevent wrongful convictions and make the system more fair and accurate as we set the stage to end executions in Ohio? The price of a lunch or dinner? Something more? You decide, but please help us meet the match and keep OTSE fighting for you!

Yours in the struggle,



Kevin Werner

Executive Director
