Cameron Todd Willingham – Innocent and Executed
October 14, 2009
In a withering critique, a nationally known fire scientist has told a state commission on forensics that Texas fire investigators had no basis to rule a deadly house fire was an arson – a finding that led to the murder conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.
The finding comes in the first state-sanctioned review of an execution in Texas, home to the country’s busiest death chamber. If the commission reaches the same conclusion, it could lead to the first-ever declaration by an official state body that an inmate was wrongly executed.
SIGN THE PETITION…and acknowledge that Texas executed an innocent man.

Community Shares of Texas goes to City Hall!!!
October 5, 2009
Community Shares of Texas participated in the COACCC City Hall agency fair Friday, October 7th. Our booth was set up in the atrium just inside the entrance. Ten charities and federations attended in order to represent the choices in giving that are available to City of Austin employees. We were excited to be a part of this agency fair because there hasn’t been one like this in recent years at Austin City Hall.
