Call Gov. Braun at 317-232-4567 with the following message:

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to express my opposition to Indiana's plans to execute Jeffrey Weisheit on November 12, 2026. While the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Indiana resumed executions after a decade and a half. And yet, Governor Braun has encouraged the legislature to study the issue. Executions should not continue until such a study is complete. Executions serve no one. They burden taxpayers, prison staff, and all who are in close proximity to Jeffrey. We urge you to call this off."

While the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Indiana is out of step with national trends. In late 2024, Indiana performed its 1st execution in 15 years, and continues to schedule more execution dates.

Please sign the petition asking Governor Braun to do everything within his power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

Death Penalty Action

To: Governor Mike Braun
From: [Your Name]

We are writing to ask that you stop the upcoming execution of Jeffrey Weisheit on November 5, 2026 for the 2010 murders of Alyssa and Caleb Lynch. While we recognize the gravity of his crime, we believe that the death penalty is neither necessary nor appropriate.

We do not need executions to hold accountable those who have committed terrible crimes, or to be safe from them. Many questions exist about the efficacy of Indiana's death penalty, as you yourself have acknowledged.

While the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Indiana is out of step with national trends.

We, the undersigned, ask that you do everything within your power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
