'One of the toughest ads I've ever seen': Don't let Colo. Gov. Hickenlooper run from this [videos]

Dennis O’Connor’s 17-year-old daughter Colleen and three coworkers were brutally murdered in 1993 by Nathan Dunlap. Dunlap, was scheduled to be executed in 2013. Colorado Gov. Mark Hickenlooper granted Dunlap a reprieve.

O’Connor shared his heart-wrenching story in a video that was widely circulated yesterday:

After all that O’Connor has been through, Hickenlooper’s left him with nothing but the sting of a cold slap in the face. Hickenlooper must be held to account. And with any luck, this ad will help that happen:

Pray that the O’Connors get the justice they deserve — and that Hickenlooper gets the boot he deserves.
