Thank You, Virginia Abolitionist Leaders, for Ending the Death Penalty

Virginia Governor Northam, Senator Scott Surovell & Delegate Mike Mullin

The Virginia Senate and the Virginia House of Delegates have voted to send identical bills to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam for his signature. When the bill becomes law, it will end the use of the death penalty in the most-executing jurisdiction in the United States.

This is a thank you letter to bill patrons Senator Scott Surovell & Delegate Mike Mullin, as well as all of the Senators and Delegates who voted to pass the bills.

This is also a thank you letter to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who indicated his support for the bill and his willingness to sign it. We are urging Governor Northam to sign the Virginia death penalty abolition bill as soon as possible, without amendments.

From: [Your Name]

Dear Senator Scott Surovell, Delegate Mike Mullin, your colleagues, and Governor Ralph Northam,

Thank you for your leadership in ending the death penalty in Virginia. This is an historic moment in many ways, making Virginia the 23rd state in the United States to abandon capital punishment.

Governor Northam, urge you to sign the Virginia death penalty abolition bill as soon as possible, without amendments.

Thank you very much!
