Friends, A week ago, this petition had barely 1500 signatures. Then last Saturday, it began to get attention, gaining 19,000. We now have over 80,000 signatures; the last three days averaging 5900 each day. Yesterday, I was unaware that there would be no staff answering the phones at the office of the governor. I like the strategy, but let's try it again on Monday when the staff should be back. Yesterday, Indiana state representative David Ober shared online a letter he has written to Mike Pence, calling upon Pence to pardon Keith Cooper. Right now on Twitter, you can be trending with 5000 tweets. So tweet today, sharing the letter below with @GovPenceIN and @mike_pence. If you'd like another strategy, share a link to this petition everywhere where Trump's "appeal" to African American voters is being discussed. Thank you for your signatures on the petition and for anything else you are doing to see Keith Cooper get his pardon.
