Dear Blog Supporters,
Just a quick hello to you all. Wanted to just take a minute to thank you for all the support out there with the emails and phone calls to the Governor’s office. It’s always amazing to me the response I receive whenever I need to call on you. This, for me, is a huge boost to my spirits in these continuously challenging times. It means a great deal to know unequivocally that I am not alone in this fight. It was just this morning that I was sharing this same sentiment with one of the guys; how I never could’ve gotten as far as I have without the abundance of support I have had over the years. It is only by way of miracle or some great force of love that has made the escape from such a deep, dark space -the kind that death row represents- possible, and perhaps I am the proud beneficiary of both, but one thing is for sure, and that is, the ongoing support from you all has been unmistakably present in my life through this ordeal. Without you being there, I have no doubt what the results would have been. So please hear me when I express heartfelt gratitude to you all.
I encourage you to continue sending in those emails and making those phone calls to the Governor’s office. Make your voices heard on this matter. Be persistent and insistent. Also, continue to spread the word and get as many people as possible involved. I especially need my Ohio supporters in on this because you represent the Governor’s constituency. I ask that you stay on this until the Governor makes his decision, of which I will keep you informed. Let’s hope that the upcoming elections will make a difference in this matter.
Anyway, with the beauty of autumn upon us, continue taking good care out there. I will certainly do the same, head up high, and ever determined to regain the freedom that is rightfully mine. Thanks again, for being there for me.
Peace & love,
Me
Shawn Hawkins
