Petition Action

Restore the Death Penalty

Additional Information

Society must protect its individuals, even if this means that one must die to protect others.
Society has always had the right to kill, as it does when it wages war.
The Bible says "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
Taxpayers should not have to support criminals living in comfort for years.
Often, "life imprisonment" means only a short time, then the criminal is released and is free to offend again.
Justice demands that criminals receive a punishment in keeping with their offence. Therefore a person who takes a life should lose their life.
capital punishment is the only penalty severe enough to make criminals think twice before committing major crimes.
The chance of error is very small given a thorough and fair justice system.

Revelation 13:10 says, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
