Here is a petition for Troy Kunkle

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/troy07/

Him, his family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers

Thank you Kyla. I have just signed the petition. I was number 1068 but I don´t know is that a lot or not. It doesn´t matter that today was the first time I heard about him. He will be in my mind today and I pray for him, his family and friends.

Amy

Another murder coming...that's so sad:(

I pray for a miracle to save his life. I'll sign the petition too.

Kyla, I just signed the petition.

I pray that this execution is stopped, but I fear executions will not be stopped here until the World Court holds american politicians accountable for their actions, regardless to the fact that the United States does not recognize the World Court. The US must realize that it is merely a member of a world community, not a Imperial power and subject to the same international morales and laws as every other nation on earth.

It is really ironic that since I have lived in this country, the horrible period of time of 1932 - 1945 in my Germany is always thrown around, when there is just as many concentrations camps (prisons) and death houses here than there was at home then.

I guess the U.S. considers it ok if you don't target one ethnic or religious group! Non-discrimitory persecution as long as all your citizens are subject to this horrible persecution - it is all right!

I don't say this often - I love the people of this country - I so distrust their government!

This is so sickeningly awful every time. My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and loved ones.

I just saw the story about Troy. He killed a man 20 years ago when he was 18. He was droged and wanted to rob that men but it went wrong. He was shot.
He is in jail for 20 years ( on DR ) so I think he is punished enought.
His country is helping him but they are scared that it is to late.
He only has 12 more hours left............................
Amy

No, Troy is American, he was born in Nuremberg, Germany.

I know him very well :-).

Hey Crista!

Is there anything you can tell us? Like how is he doing and if he is o.k.?
We didn´t hear anything about him since that.
We would be so thankful for anything new and I hope that will be good.
Amy

It's so different here in Europe and if someone "German" or from any European country is going to be executed it gets a lot of attention here too...well I think it's good that even some cases get in the news here too so people will see what's going on in this world...I hope it makes people to think and maybe some actually does something too... I know Troy is still on DR but nothing further about him.

Susan

Hey Crista!

Oh yes, he is doing fine! I see him every Saturday nite... I also was with him yesterday, of course.

I think Troy will get another date till the end of this year. I don't believe that the state of Texas is going to let go him out of prison. It's T e x a s !

Have a look at this webpage: www.gcadp.org under PROJEKTE .... you can see lots of newspaper articles about Troy and me .... most of them are in German language, but also there are pictures of him and me..

Hey Crista thank you very much!
I saw you on TV that day I heard about Troy.
But you are in Texas now, right?
I hope he is o.k. and that you are fine too.
Do you have any other support or are you on your own.
If I could help I would love to.
Amy

Hey Crista thank you very much!

Hi Amy,

yes I am in Texas now.

We both are doing fine :-)

Thank you so much, if I need any help I will tell you. Troy's case is not closed and I guess we will hear from the US SC next month :confused:

See you later,

Christa :wave:
