Consider writing a letter to the editor of the Tidewater Review which covers Southampton County.

However, there are 6 jurisdictions still using gas.

They are Appomattox County, Buchanan County, Lee County, Martinsville City, Scott County and Wythe County.

The names and emails of the county administrators (or city manager) follow.

Consider letting these jurisdictions know that you want gas chambers eliminated throughout the commonwealth of Virginia because using gas is barbaric, more expensive than euthanasia by injection, dangerous, and paints a picture of their jurisdiction that is not flattering.
