Subject: Please Vote NO on SB672 - Protecting Our Communities

Dear Assemblymember [Assemblymember's Last Name],

I am writing to you today as a concerned constituent in District ADD HERE to express my strong opposition to Senate Bill 672 and to urge you to vote NO when it comes before the Assembly.

While I understand the intentions behind criminal justice reform, I have grave concerns about the potential consequences of SB672, particularly regarding the early release of individuals who have committed heinous crimes.

The recent sentencing of Samuel Woodward for a hate crime in Orange County serves as a stark reminder of the existence of truly psychopathic murderers in our society. Woodward received a significant sentence for the brutal murder of Blaze Bernstein. However, under the provisions of SB672, it appears that individuals like Woodward, who have committed such depraved acts, could potentially be released from prison in less than 25 years.

This prospect is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. Releasing convicted psychopathic murderers would not only endanger our communities but also undermine the very principles of justice and accountability. The emotional and psychological trauma inflicted on victims' families and the broader community by such violent crimes demands a punishment that reflects the severity of the offense.

SB672, in its current form, fails to adequately consider the long-term threat posed by individuals who have demonstrated such a profound lack of regard for human life. It prioritizes a broad-stroke approach to reform that could have devastating consequences for public safety.

I urge you to carefully consider the potential dangers of SB672 and the message it would send to victims and their families. Please stand with our community and vote NO on this bill to ensure that psychopathic hateful murderers like Samuel Woodward are not released back into our neighborhoods.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this critical matter. I trust that you will prioritize the safety and well-being of your constituents when making your decision.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

To find the best address for your California State Assembly representative, whether for email or postal mail, I recommend using the official California State Legislature website: Find Your California Representatives.

Here's how you can find the correct address:

1. Go to the website above.

2. Enter your residential address in the search bar.

3. The website will identify your State Assembly representative (as well as your State Senator and US Representatives).

4. Click on the name of your Assembly representative.

5. You will be directed to their official Assembly website. This site will typically list both their Capitol office (Sacramento) address and a district office address, along with their email contact form or email address and phone number.

For postal mail, it's usually best to send letters to their Capitol office in Sacramento, as this is their central legislative hub. You'll find the address listed on their website.

For email, most representatives have a contact form on their website. This is often the most efficient way to send an email message, as it helps them manage constituent communication. If they provide a direct email address, you can use that as well.

By using the official website, you can be sure that your message is directed to the correct representative for your district.
