Oklahoma plans to execute an innocent man this Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.1
Governor Mary Fallin has the power to stop this deadly mistake by issuing a 60-day stay of execution—but we need to act fast to save Richard Glossip.
Can you call Gov. Fallin right now? Tell her: "Don't execute an innocent man. Grant Richard Glossip a 60-day stay of execution."
Here's the number:
405-521-2342 (It may take 30 seconds or more to hear anything after calling. When you hear the automated menu, press 2 to talk to the governor's receptionist, which is better than leaving a message on the governor's comment line, given the urgency. Call volume if high. So if you are unable to leave comment the first time, try again.)

There's no DNA evidence, no fingerprints, and no motive linking Richard to the crime. His execution is based solely on the testimony and credibility of one man: Justin Sneed, who confessed to the gruesome murder but said Richard hired him to do it. By saying Richard masterminded the murder, Sneed avoided the death penalty and now is serving a life sentence in a medium-security prison.2
Because Richard didn't have the money to hire good lawyers, he ended up on death row. This is someone whose record was so clean that he had never even had a speeding ticket.3
But now, one of the best death penalty lawyers in the nation has taken up Richard's case pro-bono, and this morning—two days before the scheduled execution—he released new evidence showing that "Sneed lied to save his own life."4
After learning about some of the new evidence, a juror from Glossip's trial stated, "If the defense would have presented the case that they are presenting now in the original trial...I would not have given a guilty verdict."5
Unbelievably, Gov. Fallin says she's going forward with the execution.6 It's up to each of us to express our utter outrage, disgust, and heartbreak that our government would execute an innocent man—and to compel the governor to act. All we are asking for is 60 days to give Richard an opportunity to be represented in a way that will save his life.
Please call Gov. Fallin right now—we have no time to spare. Her number is 405-521-2342.
Tell her: "Don't execute an innocent man. Grant Richard Glossip a 60-day stay of execution."
