If you are opposed to bringing back the electric chair in Tennessee, please call the Governor’s office at (615) 741-2001 TODAY and leave a message asking Gov. Haslam to veto HB 2476 / SB 2580.
This bill would make the electric chair the default method of execution if lethal injection drugs are unavailable for any reason. A last-minute amendment to the bill would make this legislation retroactive, which means that we could face an execution by electrocution as early as October 7!
Today is the last day for the governor to sign the bill, abstain from signing (in which case it will still become law, since it passed in the House and Senate), or to veto the bill.
Many lawyers agree that it would be unconstitutional to make the legislation retroactive. This is our chance to encourage Governor Haslam to do the right thing, and to veto the bill now in order to avoid long and costly litigation later.
