                                      SENSATION
       
    Jimmy Dennis in his childhood

At the time of his arrest, Jimmy's band Sensation had won many talent shows and were beginning to get attention from record labels.
Jimmy and the band were optimistic about the future and the success of their musical careers.
They had been together since the fifth grade, had participated in various music seminars and
conventions, and had worked very hard to get to where they were.

LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR TO PROTEST THIS EXECUTION

                 
Jimmy is the father of two young girls . . .
A week after Jimmy was incarcerated,  his youngest daughter was born.  One of the worst
things about this whole nightmare, for Jimmy, is that he has never spent a whole day with his youngest,
and that all the time he has spent with her was in prison.   He wishes he was there to take his children
to school in the morning, to help support his wife and daughters, as well as his elderly parents, who
have both had health problems in recent years.   Family is the most important thing in the world to him.

                     If you would like to contact Jimmy, write him directly at:
Jimmy A. Dennis  BY 7796
175 Progress Drive.
Waynesburg,  Pennsylvania
15370-8090    U.S.A.

Or email Jimmy Dennis through his supporters at:
jimmydennis@ccadp.org    
  (Prisoners have no internet access, it will be printed by his supporters and sent to Jimmy by regular mail) 

Jimmy and his friends at the Justice for Jimmy campaign want to thank all those supporters and friends around the world who've taken the time writing to Jimmy,
writing the Governor, talking to media, linking to his page, donating to his defense fund, making buttons, passing out pamphlets and everything else you've all done to get the word out about Jimmy.
