"An Injustice Anywhere Is An Injustice Everywhere"

I saw this quote on a monument outside after visiting the National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.
"First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the socialist and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me."
Martin Niemoeller

Tonight is your chance to do something really positive. What would you do if someone you cared about was sentenced to death without receiving a far trial? Would you sit quietly on your couch and do nothing? If we allow this to happen now it very well could happen to someone you know and love tomorrow. Please take the time to click on the following link and sign the petition for Troy Davis and/or attend a rally/protest. Let your voice be heard.
