It is a winter day, January 2, 1996 to be exact and things were to be a normal day as it would usually have been, but I guess today was going to be different. It was to be a day that changed many peoples lives, it would change my life and I being only 4 or 5 years old would have no idea what great an impact that day would have in my life.
They leave for the town of Divine and stop at the place that it was supposed to happen. It was called off though, so all the plans of everyone cooperating with the plans were called off. But he didn't care and both of those women knew what he was planning to do once he got to the store.
He gets off the truck and walks inside the store as everything were normal, gets the gun out argues with the YOUR friend and shoots him in the head. YOU get out of the car and run inside to see what happened, he threatens YOU with his gun, so YOU work with him, YOU help him take the money and take the surveillance video and both of you leave.
They take YOU for questioning and make YOU believe that YOU knew everything that was going to happen. They tell YOU that it is fair and YOU will like, they make YOU look like the monster and not a helpless person who got caught up with the wrong person. No one will admit to their faults in all of this and the fear of being wrong in what they have done has made them blind to any real human compassion.
YOU now sit in a cell with only one hour to bath and to be "outside," YOU are being punished for something YOU did not do... but we the people of TEXAS are selfish can only care about others when it is convenient for us.
This Spring Break I met your sister, she opened my eyes to how real this is for people, your story has become more than just a class project for me, I have now made it a goal for me to do as much as I can to help you get out of death row.

THE LAW PARTIES- guilt by association, in the state of Texas a person who had nothing to do with a crime what so ever can be charge with death as long as they were at the scene of the crime and know the person that committed the crime...
Since my introduction into what is the “Death penalty” I have no come to a realization, whenever there is an anti-death penalty event, the same people are showing up… where is the talk, where is the need to make this so much bigger. This is a big issue, bigger than any of us, yet they put this speaking event in a small room. We need to have our voices heard. It is not just about going to the capital with a group of people, it is about getting the masses involved as well. What good is a revolution if there are only going to be 100 of us involved? I feel that I have now made it my obligation to get more people involved in this activist work. We all need to see how unjust this type of punishment is, there are different means of punishment and capital punishment should no longer be allowed… the state makes us all into murders and it doesn’t seem to phase any tax payers. What I am about to say will be selfish but if you tax payers would make the state abolish the Death Penalty then I would have more money to go to school and would other kids just like me would be able to have college paid for and not pay out of pocket… 
It is time for people who believe in what I believe to make this into a bigger issue… If you believe in what I believe then you want people to hear how dehumanizing capital punishment is… last in for most for those of you think this is a crime deterrent issue, I have to but only disagree with you and state that this is a human rights issue..
While I have am new to this whole activist thing. It does not take one long to see how unconstitutional the state of Texas can be. As soon as you start looking in to things and begin to actually paying attention to what it is that your legislatures are doing then will you actually wake up. I know I did this spring break, there is something called ghost voting, now I just don't want you to take my word for it, everyone who reads this should see and really exactly what this is... this is the abstract explanation: when the house or senate is voting not every Legislature has to be there apparently (wait, what!? Yeah you read right, when they are voting on important things, the people you choose to represent you don't have to be there, this could be because they have other meetings they have to go to, which to me is complete trash) so when everyone is voting they run around the entire floor and vote for there "friends" how "couldn't" make it. Watching this first hand made me feel like I left my Country and was in some foreign places that was not fair at all. This was just one of the many experiences that I have had since spring break, I am currently writing a longer blog about my spring break experience which I will finally post soon...
What is this four letter word people speak of? Does it even actually hold any meaning any more?
Please you people are still little kids you are not an adult, sorry but what you are about to read may offend you but it is probably true, some of you are going to be parents... very soon. Sadly I doubt you will actually be able to grow up fast enough and become totally selfless. I will do a lot of praying for you however. A lot of you are in very immature relationships and act like you are still in middle school.
