Former Montana State House Majority Leader Roy Brown details in the Daily Caller why conservatives everywhere should be concerned about the death penalty. Mr. Brown, a founding member of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, said,
There is no deeper violation of a citizen’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness than their own government killing them when they’re actually innocent.
Brown went on to say
The death penalty’s waste and inefficiency is rivaled by few other government programs. That we continue to fund the death penalty should be offensive to anyone who believes in fiscal responsibility.
Roy Brown is one of a growing number of conservatives that have found that the death penalty doesn’t align with conservative values and principles.
