Mark Crawford, a Combat Veteran of the Gulf War Awarded Judgment Against DIRECTV Inc. On September 29, 2010, the Honorable David L. Mining, Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court entered Judgment (Case No. BC417507) in the amount of $353,171.60 in favor of Plaintiff Mark A. Crawford ("Crawford") and against Defendant DIRECTV, Inc. ("DIRECTV") in accordance with the Arbitration award dated June 25, 2010 executed by Arbitrator Sherman W. Smith Jr. (Ret.). Attorney Vincent Calderone of the Bononi Law Group, LLP represented Crawford and Dianne Baquet Smith and Lauren D. Thibodeaux of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, LLP represented DIRECTV. Crawford, a combat Veteran of the Gulf War, requested a job transfer from his position of a Broadcast Operator as a reasonable accommodation because his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms were worsening as a result of having to view unedited combat footage as part of his regular work duties. DIRECTV placed Crawford on an involuntary medical leave, required him to undergo a fitness for duty examination, and terminated his employment without speaking to him about possible accommodations. Crawford testified at trial that while working for DIRECTV he had either worked or knew of other jobs that did not require him to view unedited broadcast of violent images including positions of Scheduling Operations Coordinator, Broadcast Technician, Broadcast Operator of Sports and Special Events, Program Tech Technician, IT Broadcast Technician, On Air Assistant, and RF Broadcast Technician. Crawford testified that based on his experience from his military service, his employment with other companies and his experience with DIRECTV he would have qualified for either of these positions during the time he was seeking an accommodation. The Arbitrator found that DIRECTV violated the Fair Employment and Housing Act by failing to engage in the interactive process to determine reasonable accommodations for Crawford's disability and awarded him damages.

This case presents legal issues of extraordinary national significance and contains questions of first impression for which the input of “WE” the People is necessary. This case challenges the legal significance of the Fiduciary duty of the Judiciary System of the State of New Jersey towards its fellow residents and American citizens. Let's not forget that among these citizens are many American soldiers who have served, suffered, bled and died to defend the Freedom, Liberty, Justice and the Pursuit of Happiness for all the American People who believe and trust in the rules of law of Our Land and in the integrity of our Legal Justice. The Constitution of the United States of America is the “Supreme Law of the Land", as per Article VI, clause 2. Thereon, today, I invite all, "WE" the People, to Sign this Petition on such matter in order to bring my Complaint of “Crime” to the attention of the Federal and State authorities, so that it can provide an Empanelment of Special Grand Juries for organized crime under Title (18 U.S.C. § 3331) and (18 U.S.C. § 3332). My family and I are victims of Local Government "Corruption," a Domestic enemy of "WE the People". Herein, for your information, are my two recent videos that shows some of the “criminal” actions inflicted on Petitioner’s family that must be investigated by Special Grand Juries. For a better understanding of this petition, you must watch both videos Please go to link: youtube Tyranny exposed in Somerset County, NJ. (Gage vs. Warren Twp.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2Eaw_28yo&feature=youtu.be And Judiciary Corruption exposed in Trenton, New Jersey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsCvf6i9pm8 Whose duty is it to help and protect the “Rights” of a US Citizen if not a Government? "Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself, it invites anarchy." It is the duty of “WE” the People to be watchful of the actions of our elected Government Officers, so that they will not become lawbreakers, but they will abide by their duty to protect the Constitutional Rights of the Citizens and void any stealthy encroachments that violate these Rights. In this case, “WE” the People must protect the dignity and integrity of our judicial court system of the United States, as well as that of New Jersey. The judicial court system of the United States must serve the unprotected and the powerless, like myself, a Pro-se in this case, in the achievement of justice and in the preservation of human rights. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Respectfully, Thomas Gage

My name is Heidi Anderson and I have been called fag and Dyke. I have been threatened before in the workplace. I want to be able to work without discrimination. This bill is very important to me, please sign and pass on to your friends.

My name is Brad and I live in Seattle, Washington. Here in Washington State we have laws that protect Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender people from workplace discrimination. However, In 29 other states, including my home state of Tennessee, people are fired everyday simply because of how they identify or who they love. The Employment Nondiscrimination Act of 2013 has passed the Senate with bi-partisan support (including the support of 10 Republican Senators), and is ready for a vote in the House of Representatives. That's where you come in! Not every bill actually makes it to the floor of the House of Representatives. In fact, many bills die because the Speaker of the House, John Boehner refuses to let them have a vote. But with your help, we can put pressure on Speaker Boehner to ask that this bill gets a vote. Please stand with me and millions of other Americans in asking Speaker Boehner to bring House Bill H.R. 1755, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, to the floor for a vote today!

However, In 29 other states, including my home state of Tennessee, people are fired everyday simply because of how they identify or who they love. In Congress the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been proposed every year since 2007, but for nearly 7 years now Congress has failed to act. It’s time to put an end to workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Employment Nondiscrimination Act of 2013 has passed the Senate with bi-partisan support, including the support of 10 Republican Senators. That's where you come in! Not every bill actually makes it to the floor of the House of Representatives. In fact, many bills die in committee because the Speaker of the House refuses to let them have a vote. But with your help, we can put pressure on our Washington State Representatives to ask that this bill be brought to a vote. It's what we believe is the right thing for Washington State, it's the right thing for our country, and our representatives should express their support in Congress. Please stand with me and millions of LGBT Americans in asking the Washington State GOP Congressional Delegation to support House Bill H.R. 1755, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act today!

It’s hard to believe, but under federal law, it’s still legal to fire someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Making history, the U.S. Senate has now passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) on a strong bipartisan vote. It's time for the U.S. House to join the Senate, and protect every American worker by finally passing ENDA. No one should lose their job because of who they love. Bring the bill up for a vote, Speaker Boehner.

In Colorado, these basic protections have been in place for years, and it’s past time we exported our common sense to the rest of the country.

I am starting this petition because the laws of CT no longer hold marijuana possession as a crime. Yet, Ceschi was still sent away. The whole process of his arrest, to the coached confession, to the way his case was handled is infuriating. This man should not be in prison. That is why I have started this petition.

Dror Feiler is a man of conscience and--above all--a human being who is not an enemy of the people of Israel. The denial of his right to visit and support his mother is unconscionable and does not accord with the values of a democratic state.

The time has come for our sons and daughters to be treated as human beings. I am nervous waiting on my sons to return home from work,shopping or from school.Hoping that they have not come in contact with the any bad guys or worse yet a police officer.I see young Black men pulled over laid on the ground with guns pointed at them. Then they are let go.Every time I see this i feel angry and helpless. I am still angry, but not feeling helpless.This should be a priority in your term Mr.President.

More than 53 MILLION Americans are bullied at work! Many are physically hurt. This petition is to stop the bullying, assault and harassment of/on public employees especially because they support voting rights for all U.S. citizens.

A victim of bullying, and race and sex discrimination at Tustin High School was suspended for 5 days after attempting to protect himself from his attacker. The orange county district attorney subsequently filed battery charges against the victim not the attacker. What type of message is this sending to the victims of bullying and hate? Let them know that this is not ok by signing this petition.
