Governor Dave Heineman's opposition to LB 1063, which would abolish the death penatly in Nebraska and replace it with life in prison without the possibility of parole, is one of the few remaining impediments to actually abolishing the death penalty in Nebraska.

In his statements of support for the death penalty, Governor Heineman asserts that an "overwhelming majority of Nebraskans support the death penalty."  That statement is not accurate according to a survey of Nebraskans completed by Myers Research Services last spring. 

We need to let the Governor that indeed a majority of Nebraskans support LB 1063.
