Texas Governor's Office Statement Concerning EU's Appeal That Texas Enact A Moratorium On The Death Penalty
By admin - Posted on August 22nd, 2007
Aug. 21, 2007 -- “230 years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination.
Texans long ago decided that the death penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes committed against our citizens.
While we respect our friends in Europe, welcome their investment in our state and appreciate their interest in our laws, Texans are doing just fine governing Texas.”
