Adopt the 26 March 2012 recommendations based on the ACLU's petition to the U.S. Department of Justice, requesting a "patterns & practices" investigation of Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

It is shocking that in the year 2012 our court system across the nation discriminates against the mentally disabled. The Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 clearly states that all public and private entities have a DUTY to grant Reasonable Accommodations for the disabled. The physically disabled are accommodated as SOP while the mentally disabled are ignored. The only useful accommodation in the courts would be Mandatory Appointment of Counsel!

Kettleman City is a tiny Latino farmworker community in California's San Joaquin Valley that is polluted by a gigantic toxic waste dump, pesticides, diesel pollution and toxic-contaminated drinking water. Its residents suffer from horrifying rates of birth defects, miscarriages, cancer, asthma, and other illnesses. The health crisis in Kettlemant City is a reflection of environmental injustice -- low-income communities of color like Kettleman City have been targeted for years for the siting of dirty industries and toxic waste. The State Department of Toxic Substances in California and the US Environmental Protection Agency are getting ready to approve permits for the expansion of the Chemical Waste Management hazardous waste and PCB landfill, despite the violations, health crisis and racial discrimination in the permitting process - and we need your help to stop the permits and protect the people of Kettleman City! Please sign this petition to the DTSC, the USEPA and California Governer Jerry Brown to demand they deny new permits for the hazardous waste landfill, and end environmental racism now.

Electronic Voting Machines have been proven inaccurate, unreliable, and susceptible to fraudulent tampering. In 2012 after the initial GOP Primaries, several states had inaccurate counts including Iowa and many had revised vote counts and many mistakes. This will not stop unless we make it stop.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that anyone arrested by police can be strip-searched for any reason. ANY minor infraction including riding a bike without an audible bell; failing to use a turn signal; having a noisy muffler; engaging in a sit-in -- can now trigger a strip search. This ruling by the Supreme Court will enable police to strip search anyone without justification. Legislation is needed NOW to stop this appalling violation of civil rights.

Repeal of Taft-Hartley is about bringing democracy to the work place. Workers would be allowed to join a Union of their choosing without interference from management. A simple up or down vote to be held within 60 days of a majority of the workforce signing cards to join a Union.

Stop the pointless bickering about who can "get married." Let the legal rights and responsibilities of Wedlock accrue to any persons who sign a legal Contract of Wedlock. Such persons would then be free to seek or not seek religious recognition and rites; churches would be free to bestow or deny their sacrament or blessing.

Some of the most hateful,mean, dispicable and greedy atrocities ever inflicted upon human beings, are being inflicted quietly in dialysis centers, against patients all accross this nation. I have spoken to many lawyers and politicians in reference to these excesses in treatments, pharmaceuticals and surgeries, many which are prescribed unnecessarily in order to bill the patient's insurance companies more-this is especially true for the poor, elderly and many patients who do not have private insurance, who rely on Medicare and Medicaid for their treatments. However, in over 8 years of contacting these legal experts and professional politicians, I have yet to get one positive response about a plan to minimize or eliminate these corrupt practices by this industry. I am hoping that this petition will give millions of dialysis patients in this country a voice, so that these unnecessary excesses will no longer be inflicted upon people who are already in pain, suffering and afraid as a result of this dreaded and painful disease. Thank you for your humanity and your consideration.

For many years the journalist Victor A. Valdes used his First Amendment rights under the United States Constitution to publicly denounce corruption and abuse of minorities (especially Hispanics), allegedly perpetrated by some members of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. In the service of the Hispanic Community and other minorities that requested his assistance, the journalist Valdes investigated and denounced acts of excessive use of force, the death of an individual allegedly at the hands of a police officer, and instances of improper conduct. Today, Valdes and a broad-based group of community members reach out via this medium to request that those of you who favor justice and love the laws of this Great Nation demand an investigation and rectification of the injustices committed against the journalist Victor A. Valdes and his daughter-in-law Odalys Duquesne. On this page titled JUSTICEFORVICTORAVALDES.COM you will see evidence of perjuries committed by deputies Larry White and David Greve of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, which they used to deceive the judge and honorable jury in the case and led to the conviction and punishment of Valdes and his daughter-in-law. You will also see some examples of the many conspiracies committed against the journalist Valdes aimed at halting his public complaints. It has taken Valdes and some of his closest collaborators nine years to gather documents and videos to construct this page to show the world the evidence he was not allowed to present during the dirty trial to which he and his daughter-in-law were subjected (the judge and jury were not appraised of the facts). Acting under the color of the law, deputies Larry White y David Greve, both of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, violated the constitutional rights of the journalist Victor A. Valdes and Odalys Duquesne when they allegedly mutually agreed to knowingly lie under oath in their court testimony against Valdes and Duquesne. This constitutes a conspiracy and openly violated their civil and constitutional rights. This action a direct violation of Title 18, U.S.C. 241, Conspiracy Against Rights.

Call on the Justice Department ad Executive Branch to fully cooperate with the Congressional Investigation on the ATF Fast and Furious operation

Considering the vast wilderness still available in Alaska it is unreasonable to assume that this is a law that could be monitored in any way whatsoever. Lawlessness much like the Old West of Tombstone days is a path easy to imagine for Alaska were the Kill at Will Bill passed. Please join us in defending ourselves against an anarchistic society such a bill would create.
