FullscreenMay 24, 2017 John L. Spring 53027 36-E-6 Box 6000 Sterling, CO 80751 Dear Mr. Spring, Iam responding to your letter dates May 15, 2017 to Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (VADP). I have absolutely no idea how to reach Lori Urs. I never heard that name until I read it in your letter. It is difficult for me to give advice to someone who is incarcerated about being a good death penalty abolition advocate. All I can do is suggest that you be as honest and authentic as you can be in your communication with everyone inside & out of prison. VADP has no need of legal research. We are not involved with the courts. There are many other groups out there whose mission relates to the judicial system. Our organization’s focus is on public education, organizing the people of Virginia, and advocating for public policy changes. We really do not have the ability to correspond with inmates. We have a tiny staff that has far more work than we can possibly do. Sincerely, Michael E. Stone Executive Director
