SB 17 095 Repeal the Death Penalty<\/strong><\/p>\n This bill would abolish the death penalty in the state of Colorado.<\/p>\n We believe that all people have a natural right to life, because every human being is made in the image and likeness of God, who alone is Lord of life from its beginning until its end (cf. Genesis 1: 26-28).<\/p>\n The state of Colorado has other means available to it besides the death penalty to exact justice and render a criminal unable to do harm. We need to continue the reform of our criminal justice system, and we need to impose punishment in a way that protects society from violence while avoiding further killing under official guise.<\/p>\n This bill will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, February 15 at 1:30 p.m. in committee room 271.<\/p>\n ACTION:<\/strong> Please contact the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and your state Senator and ask them to\u00a0SUPPORT\u00a0Senate Bill 95.<\/p>\n TO FIND YOUR SENATOR\u00a0CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n TO READ SENATE BILL 95 CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n CCC STATEMENT ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TO LISTEN TO THE HEARING ONLINE CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Senate Judiciary \u2013 5 Members<\/strong> SD 12\u00a0\u00a0 Republican<\/p>\n 303-866-4880<\/p>\n bob.gardner.senate@state.co.us<\/a><\/p>\n Twitter Handle: @RepBobGardner<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sen.
