  • “I refuse to be a part of this compromised and inequitable system any longer; and I will not allow further executions while I am governor.”

    thank you so much.

  • Thank you Governor Kitzhaber. I also am morally opposed to the death penalty. I don't believe the judgement of mankind to decide who should die and who shouldn't. From a religious point of view the only judgement that counts is that of God. I also believe that life in prison without possibility of parole to be a more extreme sentence in the long one. Killing a murderer does not bring the victims back to life.

  • Truly bizzare. Gov Kid Slaughter cites do no harm as a Dr. for opposition to the death penality yet advocates abortion. This guy gets away with all kind of crap because he is a stud.

  • I didn't vote for capital punishment, so implying that those who voted, all voted for it is being disingenuous at best. Thank you Kitz, for being a real man and not allowing this sickness to continue in this state by being governor.

  • The people of Oregon voted on this issue. Mr. K's heart should go out to the victims--not to murders. Mr. K needs to move aside if he can't carry out the will of the people he has been hired to protect and respect. 

  • another coward against the people..

  • Kudos to the governor!

    Right deicion.

  • @str8poolmatt you are a useless faggot troll i hope you die mother fucker

  • @str8poolmatt so you just like the other teabaggers are hiding behind the holy bible to justifiy the unjustifiable act of state spnsored murder you are a fucking disgrace

  • John Kitzhaber for president!
