Bill Babbitt (Bill has been speaking around the world about his brother Manny who was executed in 1999. Bill has helped raise over $2000 so that this Journey can take place....) He also has a beautiful - especially articulate daughter. What an effective, heart-felt man and family.

She has also done a lot to support Edward personally and his work with kids. Someday soon we need to let you know about or review here own special calling.) Also, go see Debbie Kearns pertinent timely YouTube videos and her passionate comments.

Here is a pertinent note from an earlier post by Bill P:
ReplyDeleteFor more information on Edward go to Dream One World --
When Maria Donatelli, Coordinator for the World Coalition to Abolish the death Penalty was made aware that the Journey of Hope was going to be in Uganda during World Day, she invited the Journey of Hope to
attend a two day conference sponsored by the WCADP and Hands Off Cain in Kigali, Rwanda October 12-14.
From Rwanda we head to Nairobi Kenya for several meetings returning to the US on October 19th.
From Bill P. earlier:
ReplyDeleteWhen we return from Africa, Charity and I will participate in the 12th annual march against executions on October 22 in Austin (Texas). Rick (Halperin) plans to meet us there
