Campaign
Continues
9/18/98
Concerned citizens from around the world continue to urge Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating to sign off on a state parole board recommendation that Will Foster, medical cannabis user, be immediately paroled. Foster, who was sentenced in 1996 to 93 years in prison for cultivation had his sentence reduced to 20 years on appeal. Due to serious overcrowding in the Oklahoma prison system, as well as a new law mandating that violent offenders serve a minimum of 85% of their sentence, Foster became eligible for parole immediately. If you haven't yet taken a moment to contact Governor Keating on Will's behalf, please consider doing so today. Remember, a letter has the greatest impact, followed by a phone call, fax and email, respectively. Foster, who owned his own computer software business at the time of his arrest, poses no threat to anyone, yet has already been separated from his family for two years. To reach the Governor, call (405) 521-2342, e-mail [email protected] (the governor's e-mail has bounced in the past, so we don't know for sure whether it works now, fax to (405) 521-3317, 523-4224 or 522-3492, or write to: Governor Frank KeatingVery important: Be polite! Remember, there is no reason to assume he is against us at this point, and we need to always present ourselves as credible and reasonable. And make sure to let us know you've written! We need to know if you've acted, to evaluate our effectiveness and demonstrate it to our donors. Drop us a note at [email protected], or just reply to this message, to let us know.
