CCATDP September Update


I hope you are staying healthy and safe during these increasingly uncertain times. At CCATDP, we continue working to lift the voices of conservatives who recognize the flagrant flaws in the justice system, and in the death penalty specifically. You'll note below that, even as we remain physically isolated, we are reaching new audiences and mobilizing new supporters.

Trump is severely out of step with where most Americans are on this issue, including conservatives, and seems to be stuck in a 1980's mentality. Read further here:
