Grace Ross on Crime

Opposes capital punishment on human rights & racial grounds

Q: How would you have voted on the Nov 15, 2005 House vote: Reinstating capital punishment?

A: NO, we are committed to non-violence, join with the international community in human rights standards - especially given very credible evidence that capital punishment is unequally applied to people of color.
