Rolando Ruiz, TX, July 10

September 02, 2010 Subject: I wish to appeal to you on behalf of ROLANDO RUIZ, who is due to be executed on July 10, 2007. My sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of Theresa Rodriguez and I agree this was a very tragic event that cannot go unpunished. However, the death penalty—which only serves to create more victims and perpetuate a cycle of violence—is not the right punishment for ROLANDO RUIZ. Texas should not execute Ruiz for his role in this crime. Executing Ruiz would violate the right to life as declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and constitute the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. Furthermore, Ruiz suffers from an addiction to drugs and claims ineffective assistance of counsel during his initial trial. Thank you for your time and consideration in this important and urgent matter. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
