We are starting this petition because a lot of times some people aren't punished equally or punished at all for raping someone because of the fact that some sexual assaults aren't considered as rape and the perpetrator isn't punished. We haven't personally been affected by this issue but if it was someone close to us or even us ourselves we would want punishment for the perpetrator.

We took the issue of cybercrime head on in our Global Action Initiative project at Edgecombe Early College High School. Cybercrime is the criminal activity or a crime that involves the internet, computer system, or computer technology. In our world today, there are over 1.5 million victims of cybercrime daily. "To ensure your security online, sign this petition so that we can get our message to the Governor."

Governor Larry hogan is terrible on marijuana legalization.

I have friends who could benefit from the legal use of medical marijuana.

I am a Vietnam Veteran suffering with PTSD. I have used marijuana to help me control my emotions. I would like to be able to do this legally without having to move to another state. If marijuana was legalized, medical research could be conducted for the treatment of PTSD and other ailments.

My baby grandaughter, Gabriella Victoria Aurora, was murdered by her father, and because of a new law, is eligible for parole. It doesn't matter what the crime was, but since he has not been in trouble lately he's eligible.... No! I disagree.... He should not be able to be free. My one-year-old grandaughter did not get a life due to this individual... Say no! Help us stop him from getting out!

Not only would decriminalization benefit the people of Tennessee, but the revenue generated by taxes would help the state.

I've watched the data pile up year after year, confirming what many knew 50 years ago, that drug prohibition doesn't stop drug abuse and doesn't prevent addiction; it only criminalizes a behavioral disorder and stigmatizes millions of people who need treatment not jail time. Now that four states have legalized pot and have shown that public safety has not suffered from it, it's time for Texas to accept defeat on the War on Drugs, and follow suit in legalizing marijuana. No state has got it right yet, though, as we need not only to end drug prohibition, we need to dramatically increase drug addiction treatment opportunities for all people.

It's the right thing to do. Because the masses have voted with their collective wallet. Because the constitution says, in effect, that what a man does, so long as it doesn't harm another, isn't the state's business. Because the time is right and the law is wrong. Stand with me on this.

I personally suffer from bipolar disorder and scoliosis. The only relief I have ever experienced was through using marijuana in several different forms.

It's about time that we start acting like grown ups and let the police focus on real criminals. It can also be a great source of income for the state.

As has been seen with places like Colorado, legalizing the sale and use medical and recreational marijuana in Texas would not only bring much needed money into the state's economy (especially in the way of easing financial burden on state-run correctional facilities and giving more financial assistance for schools statewide), but will dramatically reduce the crime rate when it comes to nonviolent drug offenses involving not only local residents, but with Mexican cartels as well.
