This petition is NOT about Tempe Police Officers (my mistake)...this is about ASU Police Officers. Letting the judge know that citizens have the right to not show ID, if they aren't breaking any laws. Let the judge know that these officers crossed the line.

With several counties issuing marriage licenses to Colorado gay and lesbian couples, and more than one lawsuit also pending before state courts, Colorado Attorney General is currently seeking a court order to force counties to stop issuing marriage licenses. He also continues to defend the law, an action many other attorneys general have stopped doing.

Alarmingly, there have been at least 140 senseless murders of innocent people (mostly minorities) in the city of Inglewood, California. Most of the murderers were never caught and continue to roam freely, bringing to harm others and never paying for their crime. Our loved one, Akeem Leggins, 23, was murdered and was determined to be the 140th victim to die as a result of a senseless shootings in Inglewood. Sadly, it does not seem the Inglewood Police Department is making it a priority to find the individual or individuals who murdered him, a step that is necessary to help bring closure to this awful tragedy for his parents, his only sibling, his young son, family members and friends. We demand that justice be served! Help us to send a strong message to the Mayor of Inglewood and to the City Councilman that we demand justice for our beloved Akeem and for the many other victims of these heinous, unresolved murders in this crime-filled city. Please sign this petition and forward it to your family and friends. Our goal is to obtain at least 1,500 signatures by July 30, 2014 to present to the leadership of the city of Inglewood. Together we can make this happen. Thank you for your support. God Bless You

President Obama will soon sign an executive order barring federal contractors from discriminating against LGBTQ individuals! However, we have just a few weeks to ensure that this executive order doesn't contain exemptions for religiously-affiliated groups that would drive a big hole through the middle of it. Federal contractors are paid with taxpayer money — and using taxpayer money to pay for discrimination is simply wrong. We know the religious right is already putting up a fight about this, and we must do the same. We will deliver your signature directly to the White House, and we want to include as many voices as possible -- sign the petition today to make sure that we secure equality without asterisks!

A known person was sliced from his head all the way down to the mid-section of his torso Inside Magic City. The person who had the razor was patted down and allowed in the club. When the person was sliced open, the owners stated that the ambulance was downstairs as well as the police. When the parties went outside there were no police or ambulance, while the male involved in the incident bled until the ambulance was called. The person who had the razor was unconscious from a gash.

Concern for human rights and to stop corrupt and repressive government actions!

All to often, childhood sexual abuse goes unreported. Many children are shamed into silence. Others may mentally block the trauma until years later when they feel safe enough to reveal it. Some cases are even covered up once reported in family and religious settings. This may further cause legal complications when the perpetrator moves to another state. Conditions like these cause more children to be abused. The law was created to serve and protect. Please sign this petition so that pedophiles may be brought to justice.

Matthew Parker is former heroin addict who has been drug and crime free for 12 years. As an ex-felon he has not just served all of his time in prison, but has since gone on to earn a bachelor's degree from a good four-year college and a master's from an Ivy League school. He has also published a memoir and teaches creative writing, yet is still barred from voting in his home state of Arizona. Matthew wrote this petition because it is his firm belief that, like most ex-felons who have done their time and pay their taxes, he should be afforded representation like every other tax-paying American Citizen. In a telling summation, Matthew has stated that, “Full redemption can never be complete when forgiveness remains so elusive.”

It is vital African Americans receive Reparations for damages sustained from slavery that continues to affect African Americans today. Slaves were sold, families were destroyed, making it almost impossible for African Americans to find distant family members, creating the possibility of one to marry a distant family member. Many African Americans unknowingly suffer PTS, due to the constant beatings, lynching and intimidation that took place. African Americans were treated like animals, and not allowed to read. African Americans continue to make less than white people who work in the same position. Jails are full of blacks who never committed the crime. The movie Birth of a Nation depicting African Americans as savages still lives in the hearts of the racist today. African Americans were tricked out of their land and homes, they were taught to distrust one another, African Americans have been humiliated and degraded. Slaves were beaten until they stop using their birth name and use the name of the Master. No other race of people were made to forget their name. African Americans history ends for many at the plantation. Slave children were used as feet warmers or worst. African American woman were use to feed white babies until they had no mink to feed their own babies. We are in 2014 and racist people continue to walk the fine line of injustice and impose fine line sanctions on African Americans. Most African Americans have a low self esteem. African Americans did not ask to come to this country. Our ancestors were placed in chains and forced. Slaves were stripped and sold on auction blocks like chattel, after laboring in the hot sun some were beaten for mare entertainment. African Americans fought in the war for this country. The African American community deserve Reparations. Ta-Nehisi Coates summed it us best; 250 years of slavery. 90 years of Jim Crow. 60 years of separate but equal. 35 years of state sanctioned redlining. I don't care if it is $5,000 to each African American, the injustice needs to be acknowledged monetarily. I ask God to let this bill pass. Let the healing begin. PJPM

This bill is the best way for us to strengthen the voting rights that are fundamental to a healthy, vibrant democracy.

My son was treated unfairly. I watched several others in the courtroom with greater charges. His hired attorney Charles Oldham forced him to accept a plea that we could have beat. He said that we would lose, because the jury would be 80% white, he's black, and we're battling union county. He basically took our money, and did nothing. This case had been going on for 4 years. My son was convicted for having less than an ounce of marijuana, and having my prescription meds on his person. I was injured at work, and he picked up my prescription. They illegally search his house off an assumption. They had no substantial evidence. The video and audio presented showed no incrimination. Because he's black, they want to lock him up for 2 years, and white defendants had cocaine and heroine. Each received unsupervised probation. One received M - F jail time, and freedom on the weekends. I want justice for my son. I'm not condoning his actions, but fair is fair.
