Federal land belongs to all of us. Just because ranchers can't capitalize on public property doesn't mean it's "privatized."

Extreme, armed right-wing individuals and groups increasingly threaten the security of American citizens; they have occupied federal land, attacked Planned Parenthood, and killed worshipers in a church in South Carolina. These groups will continue to threaten our security until they are appropriately prosecuted for their seditious activities before they commit more acts of violence against American citizens. Demand that the Justice Department investigate and prosecute these groups and individuals to the fullest extent of the law.

This petition is about Justice For All, and about the laws signed and passed concerning Wire Taps on US Citizens. The Law concerning -Being Held Without Bail are being flouted and Laws concerning Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Does any of this exist in Today's World? Justice for my son: Abdul Q. M. Daniels.

This fight is about the proper procedures for Healthcare within our prison system! It's about prison reform and health care reform for the forgotten souls that drown within our justice system.

Free Former Birmingham Mayor Larry P. Langford!

To help with getting my son free !!!!

Today, yet another Black child's life was rendered disposable, not by a grand jury of his peers, because he was only 12 years old. His peers are not even old enough to serve on a jury. Murdered by law enforcement. His only crime was being a 12 yr old Black male child in a poor neighborhood. Those two factors alone robbed him of his youth, robbed him of protection, robbed him of any benefit of the doubt. And then Prosecutor McGinty robbed him and his family of all due process under the law. If we are a nation of laws, then those laws should apply equally to all citizens. If we are a nation of compassion, then that compassion should not be determined by the color of one's skin. If we are a nation of justice, then that justice must be available to everyone. Even when filmed, the killing of a black child is rendered justifiable. Even in an open carry state, the killing of a black child carrying a pellet gun is rendered justifiable. Even in a playground with no sign of threat, the killing of a black child is rendered justifiable. Within 2 seconds of their arrival, it is acceptable that a 12 year old is dead. We demand a thorough investigation into the killing of Tamir Rice. We demand equal protection of black children, both under the law and, when necessary, from those hired to enforce the law.

Early Saturday morning, Chicago police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex. Police shot through an unopened door and killed Ms. Bettie Jones -- who died from a gunshot wound to the neck [1]. Officers then turned their weapons onto a young man suffering from mental illness holding a baseball bat, 19-year-old Quintonio Legrier. The officer's identity has not been released and he has been placed on administrative duties for 30 days. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has announced that the murder will be investigated by the Independent Police Review Authority. But this is not enough. From Rekia Boyd to Laqun McDonald, the violence perpetuated at the hands of the Chicago Police Department continues to claim the lives of Black women and men living in Chicago, and that violence continues to go unchecked by city leaders and officials. The Chicago police were called in order to help with a domestic disturbance. However, instead of providing help to those in need, Chicago police exercised excessive violence and claimed two more Black lives. Recent cases and released videos show a culture of excessive force and a 'shoot first and cover it up' culture within Chicago's police department. They are killing people, mostly Black people whether or not those people cooperate. The state's attorney and mayor's offices seem determined to assist officers that abuse and murder the very citizens they are sworn to protect and serve. We are demanding more than a full and transparent investigation into the murders of Bettie Jones and Quintonio Legrier. We are demanding authentic justice. The entire Chicago Police Department needs to be changed, from the racist, unjust policies to the people who enforce them. Bettie Jones was a member of Action Now and we will not rest until she gets justice.

My only child just graduated HS working 2 jobs. To make it crime if someone is dying in need of medical attention , and do Nothing but let them die instead. For it to be a crime.

No indictments were returned in the death of Sandra Bland who died in police custody. I am asking that the DOJ and/or the US Attorney General investigate this death.

The recent trial in Baltimore in the Freddie Gray case, the one related to Sureshbhai Patel in Alabama, and several others have shown that a hung jury inevitably occurs when race issues are involved. The racial divide of juries may be an issue, in addition to the inherent limitations related to juries being easily played on their emotions, not understanding intricacies of the law, and feeling a sense of intimidation. Justice to victims is being thwarted by repeated hung trials.

My petition is for a pardon of my 27 year old criminal record. I've paid my debt to society in full for what I did as a young man growing up in a tough home situation. Since my release in 1993 I've created three businesses and spent my last 20 years in business being a strong advocate for Returning Citizens. I released a book in 2012 titles "From the Block to the Boardroom" detailing my life story as a blueprint to encourage anyone else going thru a similar situation that change is possible. Last year out of a unprecedented 900 Nominees through out the Country I was selected as one of 16 White House "Champions of Change" for my community work in the Reentry and employment field.
