see - YOU can make a world of difference...

i just gotta tell you that lyn wahnseidler is one cool woman...flat out, no lie...

on wednesday we sent out an alert to a select group of faith-linked individuals that had a ready-to-use bulletin announcement regarding next tuesday evening's interfaith prayer service and vigil in nashville ... these are opportunities created for people in the greater nashville area to oppose, in community, the planned executions of paul dennis reid and sedley alley early next wednesday morning, june 28th...

we asked this group of people to get this announcement to any faith communities (churches, synagogues, mosques, etc...) and ask them to publish it or announce during services or prayer gatherings between now and next tuesday evening...

lyn went one better... she got people to also write letters to governor bredesen...here's what her e-mail reply said, "35 letters have been sent to Gov. Bredesen asking him to issue a temporary reprieve to order: DNA testing in Sedley Alley's case; and a full competency hearing for Paul Reid. The letters were signed at the Greater Nashville Unitarian Universalist Church and at an Americans United for the Separation of Church and State board meeting, and wherever. The letter contained a lot of the information that was in your sample letter to editors..."

now lyn is very humble and is my mother's age ... and wouldn't really care about being blogged about ... but i had to share with you what one person can do if they decide to do it...

so ask yourself, "how can i be like lyn?" ... and just do it!

peace out - <3

I've spoken to Lyn a number of times and she's another terrific example of a person on conscience out there trying to do good. And she's succeeding! If everyone followed that example, we'd have no death penalty here in Tennessee,and probably a lot less other problems as well.
