For federal purposes I no longer believe in the death penalty. I believe it has been issued unjustly. http://mtccadp.com/ron-paul - Jay Sekulow
"Who amongst anyone is not above redemption? I think we have to be careful in executing final judgment. The one thing my faith teaches me—I don’t get to play God." http://mtccadp.com/jay-sekulow/ - Karen Pfahler
"As a conservative, I celebrated the vote [to repeal the death penalty] as a reflection of our values to be efficient and judicious with taxpayer dollars and to rid our government of programs that don’t work." http://mtccadp.com/karen-pfahler/ - Roy Brown
"The sad truth about the death penalty is it is much more expensive. The courts do not disperse justice equally. It is not a deterrent. And sometimes, yes, sometimes they are innocent." http://mtccadp.com/roy-brown/ - Larry Klayman
"How is it that conservatives generally believe in 'life,' but are very willing to allow a corrupt and hugely flawed court system to condemn someone to death?" http://mtccadp.com/larry-klayman/ - George F. Will
"Conservatives, especially, should draw this lesson...capital punishment, like the rest of the criminal justice system, is a government program, so skepticism is in order. " http://mtccadp.com/george-will/ - Gary Marbut
The government does not and should not possess the ability to kill people for retribution or restoration. http://mtccadp.com/gary-marbut/ - Christy Clark
It is time for Conservatives to do what they do best and insist that a wasteful inefficient government program gets off the books. - John Feehery
"Once you kill the accused, you can't really turn back the clock. If the system turns out to be wrong, as it does on occasion, saying you are sorry doesn't do much good. " http://mtccadp.com/john-feehery/
