The time for action is NOW!

Senate Bill 236, an act to abolish Montana's
death penalty and replace it with life
without the possibility of parole,
is in the legislature now.


On Monday, the Montana House Judiciary
Committee voted to table the bill. This means
that SB 236 does not get sent to the full
House body. This was a disappointing vote,
because we know that Montanans care about
this issue and want the full House of
Representatives to take up the bill.
We are so proud and grateful
for the dedication of Montanans to the
abolition of the death penalty. We hope
that the House Judiciary Committee will
reconsider sending the bill to the floor.

There is Still Time!

The House Judiciary Committee can un-table the
bill and ask that SB 236 be voted on by all
the members of the House.

Please contact the Committee and
ask them to reconsider and vote to send SB 236
to the House floor.

TAKE ACTION NOW!
You can help end the Death Penalty!

Contact the House Judiciary Committee and tell
them to reconsider their action and vote
SB 236 to the House floor.
