Oggetto: execution

I see that Death Penalty is the top TRP campaign right now. Well,

maybe there is an opportunity for you guys to finally establish your

media presence in the U.S. That guy that allegedly blew up that

federal building in Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, killing 180+

people is just declared GUILTY by the Jury on all 11 counts and he is

likely to be sentenced to death (everybody in America wishes so, and

Clinton recommended it long time ago, and prosecution asked for it).

In his case the execution may be speedy and he is not likely to sit

for 10 years on a death row like others - furthermore, his execution

will be televised, and likely SOLD to vengeance-hungry public (read

my text in the attachment). To advocate sparing his life would be

EXTREMELY unpopular in this country, hence the right thing to do for

the Radicals, who are known to take up extremely unpopulara causes to

defend and lost battles to fight. Also, it would provide for great

media exposure (since this is all over the news here all the time).

You have to be able to subscribe at least 1000 members with that, and

1% of the U.S. GNP is not that bad, hehehe. The court was in Denver,

Colorado and I am not sure if the death penalty would be administered

in Colorado or in Oklahoma.
