Even if you have already signed the petition, you can help by passing the following on to other people, or perhaps urge them to learn more about his cause. You can download a printable version here. Or you can sign an online version here. Posting comments on news articles also helps keep his name and cause in front of the publics view, so we appreciate help in that area also. Links to news articles are posted to the following page; http://www.enddeathpenaltyforbretthartmann.com/newsarticles.html We are asking that Brett's supporters also send letters and email's to the following addresses in order to raise awareness and hopefully garner some interest in his case. Below you will find a list of media outlets, organizations, and individuals. If you cannot send a letter or email to every address listed, then please contact as many you can. Brett is dependant upon those of us on the outside; he needs us to be his voice. It may not seem like you can make a difference, but one email, or letter and a stamp could be the catalyst to saving his life! Please speak from the heart...try to keep them short, one page or less is recommended. Governor John Kasich 77 S.

| Brett has been given an execution date of November 13, 2012. |
Many people are under the impression that the state pays for investigating. This is only true if and when Brett is granted a new trial. What is allotted to the defense is not comparable to what is available to the prosecution. Until then, the cost of investigating, which is greatly needed, falls on the family.
