Dear Neil,

It's not the end of the road for Troy Davis, but the news is not good.

Yesterday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Troy Davis' bid  
for a new trial. In a 2-1 vote, the court cited technical reasons to  
reject Davis' petition for a hearing.

But all hope is not lost. Troy has 30 days to file another petition  
with the US Supreme Court.

Troy and his lawyers are doing everything they can to fight this  
decision from the inside. It is up to us to turn up the pressure on  
the outside. Even if you've taken action before, keep flooding  
Governor Perdue's office with emails demanding justice for Troy. And  
pass the action on to everyone you know. There is power in numbers  
and when you stand behind Troy Davis, you make the fight for justice  
even stronger!

We can't thank you enough.

In solidarity,
Sue, Brian, Jessie, and the rest of the Death Penalty Campaign team

P.S. Save the date — National Day of Solidarity for Troy Davis coming  
in May. We'll be in touch soon to let you know how you can support  
Troy in your own community!
