Troy Davis has been denied clemency

Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal and his wife seem to be religious people. Here are the prayers they said in their congregation nine months ago:

Sandra Deal: "We hope we can represent you (the First Baptist Church) well throughout the state and perhaps the nation as we go about the tasks that have been assigned to us by you and by God."

Gov. Nathan Deal: "Bless our people here, bless our state, bless those with whom I'll serve," "Give us wisdom, give us courage and be with all of us as we attempt to live a servant's life for the benefit of your kingdom and the people we represent."

So, Governor Deal, why don’t you decide to act according to your God’s 6^th Commandment “Thou shalt not kill”? What do you call a man who proclaims commandments he doesn’t conform to when he faces a crucial decision? Your congregation might call him a sinner; I would call him a hypocrite.

You only have a few hours left to let people all over the world know you don't deserve such an epithet : please do whatever you can to get Troy Davis out of the death row.
