87] – This Is The Time to "Tell-the-People" what Lockheed Martin really means as the world's #1 war corporation...the killing, the greed (at $54 billion a year, the very top tier of the killing floor). The very center of the war-directed economy, from Killer Drones to Nuclear Weapons. Lockheed Martin is Making A Killing! The madness must stop. Stop Lockheed Martin on Sat., April 23 at 2 PM ET at the Lockheed Martin complex in King of Prussia, PA, 230 Mall Boulevard (main intersection of Mall & Goddard Boulevards) at the rear of King of Prussia Mall.

88] – Melissa Lucio has spent over a decade on death row in Texas for a crime she did not commit and now faces an execution date of April 27, 2022 for the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Mariah, despite strong forensic evidence and eyewitness accounts that Mariah's death was accidental. Protective service records and recorded interviews with her children show that Ms. Lucio was not abusive with her children. At the time of her arrest, Melissa Lucio had no record of violence.
If you are able, I urge you to watch the film, "The State of Texas Vs. Melissa," an award-winning new documentary which sheds light on the controversy of her conviction, revealing a case with no investigation, a coerced confession, an incomplete defense, and a corrupt D.A., Armando Villalobos, who is now serving a 13-year federal prison sentence for bribery and extortion and misused the case of Melissa for running his re-election. See https://gathr.us/screening/31669. Melissa's fate now lies in the hands of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Greg Abbott.
Please call the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (512-406-5852) and Governor Abbott (512-463-1782) and request clemency for Melissa. If you want, write a personal letter to the Texas BPP at Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Clemency Section, 8610 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78757-- Regarding the Case of Melissa Lucio-TDCJ #999537. To write a personal letter to Governor Abbott, send to Office of the Governor, P.O. Box 12428, Austin, Texas 78711-2428.
89] – A friend, Brendan Walls, has to move out of a rented home on March 1. So he is looking for housing and wants to live south of the Baltimore beltway, east of US 95 and north of Route 214. Do you know of a house or apartment in the Annapolis area with as much peace and quiet as I can get for no more than $1800 a month? He does not mind pet sitting, house sitting, keeping someone company or community living. Let me know if you have a lead on a home or apartment for Brendan to rent. Thanks for giving this your consideration. Reach Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski 2001 at comcast dot net.
