• Positive Police Presence
    Stop police from shooting innocent people. For police to use rubber bullets, to stun and disable, but not KILL! There are so many different ways to stun someone, without actually killing them. I would like on a FEDERAL level for there to be a change in the way Police stop acting like bullies, and start treating people with more dignity. Use other methods unless their lives are clearly in danger and can prove it. A gun held in their face...if not, rubber bullets need to be used more often, or the bean bag method. Stun the person enough that they lose their force and are not dangering others, but that the Police are not shooting and killing kids and adults. STOP ENDLESS KILLING!

  • Department of Justice: Investigate Police Misconduct & Cover Up's
    In New Brunswick,NJ police racially profiled, illegaly searched & falsely arrested an innocent man. That man filed complaints with Internal Affairs but the police were not charged or disciplined. One year later the same police fatally shot an unarmed man & tried to cover it up with help from the corrupt administration. We need the D.O.J. to investigate this corruption to help stop these injustices!!!

  • Election Day Holiday
    We celebrate shopping in the USA more than we do voting. More people get the Friday after Thanksgiving off than get Election Day off. Why can't Election Day be as important as Columbus Day? After Bush V Gore, Shouldn't we the people be demanding this? It is a state holiday in some states why not all of them?

  • Innocent until Proven Guilty
    Have the recently passed legislation allowing American citizens to be held by the military, without trial in indefinite detention, overturned. It is blatantly unconstitutional. I am appalled that President Obama signed into law this bill which removes American's rights to a speedy trial and the concept of being innocent until proven quilty. Losing basic rights in the name of security is beginning to turn us into a police state.

  • Repeal Changes to the Texas Open Beaches Act
    Repeal the recent ruling in changing The Texas Open Beaches Act. Allow the general public access to ALL beaches along ANYshoreline. The Texas Supreme Court has dismissed a 180-year-old custom of public enjoyment of Texas beaches as "unsupported by historic jurisprudence" and "a limitation on private property rights." All shore bound recreational fishermen/women and ALL beach going public that use beaches that happen to be in front of a beach house along the shoreline now can't use the beach with their families or friends because of this ruling in favor of landowners.

Some of the decision you make for Philadelphia is not in alignment with Britherly Love!

  • NO Kill at Will
    Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who was killed while walking home in his hoodie, is dead because someone who felt threatened by him took his life. George Zimmerman, Trayvon's killer, still hasn't even been arrested for the shooting. Why? Because Florida is a Kill at Will state. Astonishingly, Florida law broadensthe definition of justifiable homicide by granting people the right to use deadly force if they feel threatened. Thisextreme expansion of the right to kill, despite being fought by law enforcement officials, has occurred in 24 states. Right now, the legislature in Nebraska is considering following Florida's lead and becoming a Kill at Will state.If enough of their constituents speak out against Kill at Will, it can be stopped. Because of the negative attention theTrayvon Martin tragedy is bringing to these laws, elected officials and the media debating the legislation won't be able to ignore loud public pressure to keep Nebraska from becoming a Kill at Will state. These Kill at Will laws make us and our children all less safe. And they are a special danger to young people of color like Trayvon Martin, who may fall under "suspicion" from armed vigilantes simply by being young, black, and wearing a hoodie. Stand up for the next Trayvon by signing this petition, telling our Nebraska Government that we will not stand for a tragedy like that in our state.
