To: US President Obama,
    Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles

Especially in life and death matters, The People depend on "The System" to value Truth.

Troy Davis is not "guilty beyond reasonable doubt". There is very much doubt.

People, regardless whether they live in State of Georgia or not, want this situation to be sorted out - for the truth to be found and known.

We, The People, depend on governmental officials to care about Justice.

Truth comes first.
