In 2011, during a routine family divorce hearing in Clark County, Nevada, Monica Contreras was sexually assaulted by a court official. She was forced into an room, subjected to an impromptu “strip search,” and subjected to cruel,unusual, and inhumane treatment. After this humiliating and dehumanzing trial and tribulation, she sought to inform Judge Patricia Doninger of the assault upon her body and her rights. She was threatened with incarceration, if she did not recant her testimony, while her and her daughter's plea for help and clemency were left unanswered. She was faced with an apathetic Judge and an vicious court staff. Refusing to take back her words, she was arrested, jailed and her daughter was taken from her. No person, of any star or stripe, should be subjected to this kind of treatment. On this day, the system of Justice stopped working for the common man. Justice was silent, unmoved by the pleas of a mother and her daughter. Instead of serving the public good, the law served the interests of the system rather than its citizens. Patricia Doninger, had a duty; an obligation, a moral imperative to serve justice and the oath she swore to uphold. Instead she allowed justice to be circumnavigated and circumvented into a perverse and twisted amalgamation of the law. Although Patricia Doninger was 'let go,' for her actions, she should be made to stand for her woeful callousness and disregard of Monica Contreras, her daughter, and the rights that all citizens enjoy. No daughter should be forced to plea for her mother, only to have her stripped away. No mother should be forced to pick between her rights and her daughter. 1) Ms. Contreras’ right to free speech was impinged upon. She was never able to exercise this fundamental right or receive acknowledgement by the Judge. 2) No probable cause was given for the strip-search, or the cause was woefully insufficient, therefore the search was invalid and extralegal. Ms. Contreras was illegally searched, which violated her rights under the fourth amendment—based on the United States Constitution. 3) Ms. Contreras was falsely accused of making 'false allegations against a public official'. No law exists in state or municipal codes. Since no cause could warrant her arrest, she was falsely arrested and imprisoned--against her will. 4) Mrs. Patricia Doninger showed conduct unbecoming of an elected public official. For this reason, she should be censured. 5) Ms. Contreras' 14th amendment rights, under the equal protection clause, were violated, numerous times.

Due to the constant abuse and neglect of disabled people in these facilities and witnessing and audiotaping an actual attack and assault on my son (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGJFHh9NcV4), cameras need to be installed immediately in these facilities and homes to protect the constitutional and humane rights of disabled people and to catch, remove and punish those who abused them!

Tell Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt to issue a legal opinion on whether the state's proof of citizenship requirement to register to vote is valid now that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar law in Arizona. With 13,000 Kansas voters already in limbo, a number that grows by nearly 2,000 more each month as a result of this provision, we need action now.

I just think that this law is wrong, people love who they love. I am 14 and I am bisexual. This is a problem that many people face in America. I am also wondering what the states reasoning is in denying marriage. All the reasons I have seen are with religion, this is a religiously tolerant country, one of the main things that make this country a free country.

My son is an eleven year old black male in America, along with the very small population of black males left in this great country and I fear for their lives. The land of the free? Trayvon Martin and Everett Gant are among the many black individuals in Florida that are negatively being affected by this law with no clear boundaries. Please sign this petition to boycott Florida during the spring break season to make a stand showing Florida's political officials that we will not forget and will stand in unity demanding a change within this law therefore protecting our black males from senseless killings. Find your representatives @house.org. You owe this to yourselves, your community, and your country to stand up to unjust laws! Done by Jantel Profit @alwayzprofit & Nicole Spotts @igrowmyownremy

My son Corey is being denied privileges that are beneficial to his physical, mental, spiritual, education and over all well being. He is not being given the opportunity to complete the needed groups to work towards his chance at Clemency/Parole. There can be no rehabilitation if a person is denied the chance to have goals, hopes and dreams and working to better themselves, if they are not rewarded with what was promised.

A gay couple who want to be buried together. One of the men has ALS

I been falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted and wrongfully imprisoned yet I committed no crime & was found not guilty, this can be proven my wife also has been a victim of police rage and brutality. the public defenders office refuses to defend me or my wife at any level.I feel because I would not accept a plea deal and went to trial is the reason I was imprisoned as I said I never committed a crime and I was found not guilty by a jury. I'm asking if someone anyone would look at this case and see I was railroaded all because I would not plea to something I was not guilty of.me and my wife& daughters have been through 6 years of hell, the reason she's ITALIAN & AND I"m AFRICAN American.

The LGBT community is faced with discrimination for all public accommodations across PA. It is legal to fire someone for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Likewise, it is legal to deny someone credit, housing, service in a restaurant, a job or promotion, solely based on that individual's sexual identity. PA House Bill and Senate Bill 300 will fix the law to protect the LGBTQ community.

I have been personally discriminated from military service from my local MEPS office in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a bisexual man and i have applied for the military , I was turned away for self injury from bullying and cyber bullying when i was 14 and was based on something that happened 10 years ago and they had let someone in who had also self injured. I was never offered a second chance and permanently denied. I even offered to pay for some medical services , the main medical personal personally said they would never let me in even if i had proof saying i was okay. i had spent over 400 dollars in medical expenses and they denied me or even to reimburse me for my money. Please help me get justice and to let me do the one thing I've wanted to do since i was 4 years old. i dont want to sue i dont want money, i just want to join the military and serve the country i love and am being deined from doing. I believe in doing the right thing and second chances so please help me get mine and the justice i have been denied of for more than 4 years

Tennessee has stepparent and grandparent visitation laws, but none for other significant family members of minor children. When a marriage fails or a family member dies, it’s the children who suffer most and largely in silence. Let’s tell the Tennessee legislature it’s time to protect children’s emotional ties to ALL family members. Tennessee tiene leyes de visita para padrastros y abuelos, pero ninguna ley para los otros familiares significativos de los niños menores. Cuando un matrimonio fracasa o muere un familiar, son los niños que mayormente sufren en silencio. Digámosle a la legislatura de Tennessee, que ya es tiempo de proteger los lazos familiares emocionales de los niños tienen con todos los miembros de su familia

Right-wing legislators in North Carolina have outdone themselves again. They’ve passed bills to restrict women’s health care rights, cut benefits drastically for unemployed workers and reject expanding health care for low-income families. Now, they’re taking advantage of the Supreme Court’s ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act and are trying to ram through the most restrictive voter suppression bill in the United States—HB 589. This bill would devastate voter rights for North Carolinians. It would shorten early voting periods, impose restrictive voter ID requirements, eliminate same-day voter registration, purge voter rolls more often and prevent counties from extending poll hours in the case of long lines. But it doesn’t stop there. It also would raise political contribution limits, reduce the amount of information donors from out of state are required to provide and make it easier for voter suppression groups, like True the Vote, to intimidate and challenge voters at the polls. This bill would be a disaster for North Carolina. Tell your lawmakers to oppose it.
