Hopefully you can download them here: <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YUea2PixSrReD%2BfvBY%2FSMGl3bRE0BQ%2BE"><b>Talking Points for Parole Commission Hearing.</b></a><br>
<br>
<b>REMINDER:</b> There will be a very important Public Hearing: Please join us in Action! <br>
<br>
<b>Wednesday, August 23<br>
10:00 am<br>
State Capitol, Room 330, Southwest</b><br>
<br>
Choose one of the Talking Points to call or write to your State Senator. Find their contact info <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7%2BbYID6ZyTcrUi89aSGzr2l3bRE0BQ%2BE">here</a>. And, join us in Madison!<br>
<i><br>
This is the public hearing regarding the nomination of Daniel Gabler as the new permanent chair of the Parole Commission.</i><br>
<br>
About 3,000 parole-eligible prisoners are systematically being denied a fair chance to earn their freedom - something the judges who sentenced them back in the 80's and 90's assumed they would have. <br>
<br>
To better understand this issue, please take a little time to look through <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zZhPwbmnPF7Go%2BLXuQxzOWl3bRE0BQ%2BE">WISDOM’S BOOK OF LETTERS</a>. You can see what this issue is about and why it is such a nightmare for the men and women caught up in it.<br>
<br>
Please share this info with members of your organization, your friends, your Facebook contacts, etc.<br>
<br>
The breakdown of the parole system is a seldom-discussed serious injustice. <br>
• All parole-eligible people have been in prison for at least 17 years, most of them far longer than the judge who sentenced them anticipated. <br>
• Many were very young at the time of their crimes and are now in their 40's and 50's. <br>
• Hundreds of them are trusted to leave prison unsupervised every day to work at jobs in the community, or even to work in the State Capitol and the Governor's residence. <br>
<br>
It is time they got a chance to re-join their families. It is time to save millions of taxpayer dollars. It is time to relieve some pressure on our overcrowded prisons.</span><br>
