Petition Signers: Boost the Numbers to #SaveArkie!
Thank you for signing the petition to help stop the May 19th execution of Walter “Arkie” Barton in Missouri in revenge for his alleged murder of Gladys Kuehler.
Please help us boost the numbers of petition signatures. At this time we have over 700 signatures. We hope to get that number over 2,000 by 8pm EDT on Tuesday, May 12th, which is when we will prepare them for in-person delivery by MADP on Wednesday.
